Competition Anyone else heard about Piers????

[RyanB]

I just sent Piers a email today telling him thanks for shipping me my parts I just got and got this back!!!! and this is the reply I got back :--) :--) :--)



Hi Ryan,



Piers is no longer with the company as he has sold his share of the company to his silent partners. Myself and Harry have been with PDR since almost the beginning and we be here for the future to take care of the business.



Good luck and let me know how you make out.

HMMmmm - wonder if he's goung out on his own?



Sure hope he keeps a hand in the aftermarket and performance market - his loss would leave a hole hard to fill...

I heard that Ford Motor Company was opening up a test facility up in Langley BC. Piers is going to try to straighten out their mess with the V8 diesel.

I also heard that he was going to work on a joint US/ Canadian venture where he would travel around the Pacific Northwest catching trout and salmon in one area and releasing into another area. It is supposed to help keep the salmon and trout populations genetically diverse.

I heard Piers is moving to Indiana and is building a Modified Diesel pulling truck and is going to pull full time.

Holy crap is right, that's some crazy news. I had talked to him about a month or so ago and had no idea he was leaving. Hope my new cylinder head I just bought from them stays under their warranty.

Are they hiring for that catch and release gig Ron? Is there tequila involved?

I have known about this after the first hour after it happened. For your info it is still PDR (Performance Diesel Research). It has been that for over a year now. Its a real shame it happened but im sure Harry and Mark will treat everybody great. They are great people to do buisness with.

Piers will be back.

This is sad... . I can't imagine a conversation about Cummins performance without Piers' name coming up.



I remember when it was just he and Louise in the shop, watching him bolt up the first Nasty Nine on my truck. Just such nice and terrific people..... they still are, but you get my point.



Oh, and the ride I took in his 3rd. gen I'll never forget

 

[HEMI®Dart]

I always thought PDR was Pier's own company.

 

[therabbittree]

ha and i thought harry was piers or piers was harry or there was a Piers harry, or a Hairy Piers ... . . . or something like that haha. .

best of luck for them all. . I'm sure he will be involved with some sort of diesel product.

Thanks

Deo
