    Of course. If only they used that turbo3000d, every thing would have been fine.

    I can't believe he's throwing them under the bus. Anything to save his crappy reputation

    We've had good luck with Evans but make no mistake, we put disclaimers everywhere, use it at your peril.

    The fact that Kevin asks if there is a way to look at the prior Tune history on the motor after the Detroit guy just mentioned that there has been multiple ECMs on the truck shows Kevin does not know as much as I think he would about Tunes and builds.

    But they were adamant about using them anyway? This was a $200,000 situation. This wasn't just a turbo3000d.

    I have always preached for 25 years , once you overheat a bad motor once , you have damaged that engine for life.

    Now time for him to defend Evans

    Me thinks he's backtracking on his Evans, saying now that the contamination was after the OP took the truck. Nice.
