Default The Paul Ferrucci - Blown81bu solution thread

As many of the regulars here know, there has been a rash of drama that I would like to try and put a rest to.

Paul is upset because of a cold start idle issue and that I recommended the LS3 throttle body for him.

Although I would be glad to touch up his cold start idle issue, and I explained in depth how I get the LS3 throttle body to work on a C5, he is simply not confident in my abilities so that fault falls 100% on me.

I would like to refund him 100% of his tuning cost of $660, and purchase the LS3 throttle body from him even though it was not purchased from us. Or I can swap it out to an LS2 if that's what you prefer, if there is any financial difference we can work that out.

That would make him 100% whole. I'm not really sure what else I can do other then that.

Just mail me the T/B and your PCM so I can remove the EFI live operating system which will lock out other tuners. I'll send it back same day received along with a check.

All I ask is that we walk away from the table amicably and it ends here.

I feel I'm going above and beyond but I have a one sided view so what does the C5 FI jury say?

Seems a lynching is in order !! LOL


Seems like a reasonable solution to me. Shame it couldn't be worked out otherwise.

If I am buying you a T/B, I want the LS3 back in trade. I will have the LS2 painted so you are not out 1 cent. I will also send you another PCM so you are not out anything there either. I have plenty of them.

I want you 100% whole Paul.

DONE! Send me your PCM and LS3 T/B and $1,000 will be in your PP account within an hour of receiving it.

Again, with the agreement that this ends here.

Oh dear God. I'm trying guys, I swear I'm trying!!

I'm the one who offered all this so you go away, do you really think I would not pay you after receiving your parts? I think it's justifiable for me to not trust you frankly, but I'm a business and not going anywhere.

My offer stands and is final.

If you filed a paypal dispute they would make you send a tracking number before you could get any money. That's how it works. I know because I've been there.

Holy Crap, this is the most absurd load I think I've ever waded through on this forum.

Buddy, these guys have been a top notch organization for years. They have a stellar reputation and they're clearly trying to do right by you. Take the offer and be done with it.

I'm nominating Doug for sainthood for being able to keep his head throughout all of this.
