Lets face it, If I was about ready to drop 7 grand on a kit, I would want to know the TRUTH not some water'd down version of a bunch of vendor leghumpers that are soo busy sucking on the n!pple of the manufacturer that It may cause me to make a detrimental decision......I personally made a bad purchase decision based on a bunch of WRONG information off of this forum, and it all stemmed from people being afraid to give their "Honest" opinion. Trust me, I lived it and I learned from it. But it WILL NOT happen again.

The BS a few weeks ago about Dan's experience with the ECS fuel kit is a great example. People responded as though he had called their mothers crack ******.. That's why most of the feedback on the forum is screwed towards the positive.
End of rant.

There is a difference between not wanting to re live an experience, so you just keep it to yourself -vs- speaking about your problem, yet watering it down or NOT telling the whole truth.
My situation is NOT the topic of this thread, I am just making a point that we need honesty when discussing any situation. There are a lot of us that consider each other as friends, and take eachothers word even though we may have never even met in person.
I appologize for taking this thread off topic, so I will just butt out now..

I'm trying to enlighten you a little when it comes to discussing a situation on an open forum. I'll tell you what, You pi$$ away 20+ tousand dollars on wrong information because members didnt have the guts to speak freely, then come back to this thread and read your posts.
As I said before, I am sure STS will correct any issue that has come up. If you read this thread in its entirity, there is not one person who is bashing or placing any "Blame" on the vendor. So you need not defend them. Even the best have failures with certain parts. Thats to be expected.
Again, good luck on the repairs.

It is my hope that discussions remain informative and others impart information beneficial to others so that same mistakes dont happen again and awareness increases as we continue to try to make more rwhp.
thanks for the well wishes.

However, at the very least you should notify others of your issue, esp. 20K worth of experience. Speak the truth, as you say!!!!
