    I've seen all kinds of stuff about Evans causing huge problems. I guess it's possible that this was the root cause of all of the problems with this truck in the first place.

    Still doesn't explain the lack of micro blue

    Evans in the crankcase too, huh? That stuff is good for all uses!

    Before this whole Signature truck fiasco happened I thought Pittsburg power was the Go to Man for reliable rebuilds and power upgrades.

    Even if the Evans was to blame for the problems, the missing Micro Blue is inexcusable.

    If Pittsburg would have stepped up to the Plate and gone back through the engine while Eating the labor and some parts to get the problem worked out they would have won me over for life.

    Now days I wouldn't let them work on my Lawnmower .

    It's not so much the quality of work , but the following up attitude And the dishonesty .

    This truck has been listed forever, I don't think the rebuild paperwork from PP has been helping with the sale.

    I was thinking about that last night. With all the articles Bruce has written, he gives the impression that he thinks drivers should be wrench turners, and able to fix things on the road. I think the relationship with Jeff went south happened when Jeff had a turbo clamp changed and Jeff wanted a Bruce to pick up the tab. From the poor audio at the CMC, you could hear him complain about Jeff having to pay a shop to do what was in Bruce's mind a fix that should be done in the parking lot.

    I think that he began to loath Jeff, and from that point on, anything that went wrong with the truck was Jeff's fault.

    I was the same way and thankfully I couldn't get the logistics worked out to have them rebuild mine with the micro blue.
    Not so sure about the workmanship either as the crank looked as if they had installed it while sitting on the beech.
