Let me say this guys, i do not feel i was snubbed by John Hommes or the TDR magazine.
Believe me,i know what being snubbed is, Diesel Transmission Technology is probably the most hated company in the Diesel Industry by competitors and vendors because i dont play nice, i am not politically correct, and i am not a professional businessman, i am technician first and i tell it like i see it.
I realize every business has to make money, however,how you choose to do it it soley controlled by the owner of the company.
I have had my running battles with Banks, BD, Dr. Performance, Suncoast, Dunrite, Blue Chip,TST, JRE, you name it.
Most of us, including me learn about our dodge rams through this website, we all whether we like to admit it or not have learned from the school of hard knocks at one point or another in our lives.
Most guys think they can just bolt parts on the Dodge Ram and it will work. In some cases that is true, not so with the transmission and its components.
Roy at Mag Hytec wanted me to give the products to John for an article he was to do in the tdr magazine, as i understood it the choice was between DTT and Suncoast.
I spoke to John about the article, and the work would been done by Carson City Dodge. I, upon hearing that had to consider the following,
1st- they are a dealer for competitor,
2nd- i did not feel they were qualified to properly install our system
My feelings have not changed, i have always believed and still do that any company that still installs a torque loc , either
1- doesnt know any better or 2 doesnt care.
Either way the above mentioned caused me to set forth the following conditions if my product was to be in the article.
The conditions were this, i had to do the complete job in my shop, using my staff doing it our way.
No matter how you slice it and dice it it would have been 2 days in the shop and involve at least 2 days travel for John.
I know that a consideration that may have played a factor in the decision is John's wife was not in good health at time and travel may have been difficult.
I am not making excuses for anyone, i want you guys to fully understand what went down and maybe give you a little insight to some of the things you dont hear about after the products go in that was also a cosideration for me.
I was not going to have my stuff mixed up with BD junk(torque loc) left over from the last article John wrote about how good that stuff worked.
See i knew that one of the reasons for the change out was that the unit was slipping like a SOB, this is usually one of the end results of using the torque loc or a mystery switch that is being abused.
I also know that the article done on Dave Perea's truck by Scott Delgliesh(sp) about the Suncoast stuff was based on a tc that was given to Dave free for the article, and that article hailed the Suncoast tc to be the ticket for the Dodge Rams
What you guys dont know is that , 1 year and a little bit after the article, Dave's truck came in my shop to have the Suncoast stuff swapped out because it was slipping and "it worked like crap", and those were his words.
Guess what guys he too had a torque loc and Dave had to pay for his converter this time.
My point is , you wont see too many if any articles written about the aftermath of these products, that doesnt make for good avertising and lets face facts advertising sell products and you need advertising to sell magazines.
As i mentioned above, we are one of the most hated compaines in the diesel industry with good reason and we can live with that.
Guess what the main reason is guys,
its you.
You guys are defying all the advertising.
Now i have looked at the new tdr magazine, if you go by the advertising in the tdr magazine, our products look the worst on paper.
Last time i checked, none of you guys towed with paper or drove paper.
See every company out there knows that you guys are afraid of the lock up system in the Dodge ram, so they advertise to put you in a comfort zone, that their lockup system will handle 500 + hp , so they say dont worry about it, they've got it covered.
I am from the old school, now i know better, so i am not going to lie to you just to get the sale. What i did do was build a system to go around the Cummins power . I will tell you this,
I can handle the power of the Cummins in fluid coupling and those are not just words, you guys are living proof of that.
Whether guys choose it to believe it or not, the lock up system is still the weak link in the automatic transmssion.
20% of our business comes from guys that didnt believe that.
Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Now, I would have thought that is exactly the readings that would mean something. More efficient=less heat.
