I'm waiting on the shop that is supposed to be checking out a miss and check engine light. The Ft. Worth shop was supposed to take it to the Hurst, TX shop to get it checked out and fixed but I haven't heard from them even after calling. I never thought it would take this long to get it fixed. I'm very frustrated. Last week my daughter totaled my Avalanche in the school parking lot...ran into a lamp post.

Sorry to hear on both Accounts ...Hope you can get SS back soon and hope daughter did not get hurt

I'm hoping that I'll get my Slingshot back sometime next year....errr week. Later this month for sure.

Oooof brother ... Following this makes me worry!

Do you mean the engine you just bought and had installed had no compression in #4?

Quote from Scanman

After talking to the service department guy, I had to OK them to remove the engine to tear it down and see why cylinder 4 has no compression. With that, I'll have a bill of just over $1900 not including repairs at that shop, $1411 at the other shop and $2700 for the engine. That puts me at just over $6000 so far. I could have bought the built engine from DDMWorks and for just a little more than I've already spent, I could have had a new engine. What the HECK was I thinking?!?!?!?

So the replacement engine is bad ????? We all try and cut cost ... I know I did few weeks ago for windshield for Vanderhall and it was a Scam....

Only thing I paid through Pay Pal with my credit card and PayPal did nothing to scammer but my credit Company because

I am a excellent customer backed me and returned money to account...

So we live in a Non Trusting country of Scammers..

Did you call the place the motor was purchased from ????

Hope you get it resolved ..

When I blew my original motor I played the used motor game 🤬🤬🤬 had nothing but problems that no one could figure out locally or by many conversations with people that are what I consider very knowledgeable with these motors. I finally pulled it back out and put it in the scrap pile. Bought a new motor from ZZP and installed it and never looked back. Could have should have didnt are all famous words. Your into it more than I was so it was a easy decision for me to throw it in the dumpster. You could have been driving around enjoying it with so much less stress if DDM would have installed one of their motors for you but we have all made choices that we regret. One day it will ride again

Did you try calling the scrap yard that sold you the engine? I'm sure they had some kind of warranty on it. Might not pay for the labor involved, but should be kept in the loop for a possible claim for damages from them.

They can't sell you shit and walk away from it. if they do, you have all the right in the world to flame the hell out of that company for basically stealing your money and selling you know a shit engine.

.....I don't know about you guys but I just popped my hood and kissed my engine......lord knows I don't need the hassle your experiencing BUT if I did Dave@DDMWorks would be hearing from me PRONTO....just like when I blew my clutches...........but I'm still hoping for good news especially on this thread.....

Scanman if the engine you bought is bad and they refuse to help you out then contact your credit card company and try to dispute it

Then, Call that guy that hangs out by the creek and sips Kentucky whiskey!😜
