Good morning thinkers!- hope you all are well and good!- keep your whistle wet, and your powder dry!- TTYL!

 

Must. Fight. Urge.... Must. Say. No!

 

I got the "reman" valve body and solenoid for the CD4E last night. It looks like someone pulled it right out of the trans and through it in the box. The connector, which sits on the top side of the trans, has grime all over it. Just sent the seller a message... I don't want to put this in and waste trans fluid because it doesn't work. I think I'm about ready to call it quits with eBay.

 

20 years old and never opened, that means no warranty from anyone, no returns, no backsies, and the guages have probably stuck in place by now.
Autometer probably forgot they made these things over a decade ago. If it broke, no one would know how to fix it.

That help you say no?
It's kinda like a Borat movie, just say no.

 

Good afternoon thinkers!- Dang, man, you would think these sellers would be a bit more concerned about what they sell. Thats b.s....
Thats why i try every venue before i consider e-bay or amazon or whoever.
Breaks over, gotta go!

 

My current value of Ebay is that it is one level worse than Craigslist with the % of scams, liars, thieves, and outright crooks.
Went to my Ebay history to see my personal results. In the last 3 years I bought 8 items, 2 of those were honest and I had no complaint. A replacement icemaker for my home fridge and seat covers for my truck. Some items never even shipped and it took weeks to get my $ back.

 

Still no response... surprise!

I always get suspicious when the seller sends an email (long before the item is received) that basically says "I just gave you positive feedback, please go leave me positive feedback".

 

I'll be damned... I don't know how I missed this episode, but I think it's cool that Paul is part of the volunteer fire department. The area that I live in is also volunteer.

He talks about Richfield in this one. Richfield is where the in-laws lived.

 

That's about as scammy as when I bought a couple field cams from Amazon (very highly rated ones) and with them is a card that says I can get a 5$ Amazon card for every 5 star review I give within 24 hrs. of receiving the cams.
I don't need $5 off so I tested them. The cams sucked. I gave honest, 1 star, review and sent them back. I included a pic of the scammy card offering $ for review in my review.
At least Amazon refunded me quick.

 

Another audio question for the thinkers (yall were excellent for my current setup)... new truck I have 3 options and don't know what is best for me.
Option 1: MTI behind the seat box 1 13.5" sub (shallow mount) $285
Option 2: MTI behind the seat box 2 10" subs (shallow mount) $380
Option 3: SupercrewSound behind the seat box 2 10" subs (can be full mounting depth) BUT I have to move seat forward 1/4" (I guess drill seat mounting holes out bigger) & take out rear panel carpet $189

Amp is coming over from my current truck. Rockford Fosgate R500X1D 1 Channel Class D 500RMS (Birth sheet is somewhere in the mid 600sRMS). Dont need to rattle windows but looking for a little clarity in my bump compared to my current 1 10" Pioneer shallow mount sub. Havent picked out subs until I pick out my box. Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated. And I currently dont have the time to design/measure/build my own custom box.
