So should he not say anything just because he is the minority?

 

Qwiktim I forgot that I gave you my sales receipt, sorry, caught me in a lie! Oh wait, no, that's what I paid. 36 dollars. $36. $36 USD. 3600 pennies.

 

Don't bash Fuddle on here. I know the truth about where he gets his stuff, who makes his converters for him, the foundry stuff, ect. They won't believe you. Just drop the topic because people will believe what they want to hear. You are just asking for a bunch of 20 year old board loyalists with no experience in the field to bash you because a cheaper product HAS to be better. Save yourself the trouble and just keep your mouth shut! If you know what is right that is all that matters.

 

Kinda interested in what you are saying, but I have to admit I have absolutly no idea what you actually said. I read it 3 times and still didn't understand it

Any chance you could elaborate a bit?

 

mexicans build fuddle converters?

 

^^^^ Same here, trying to figure out in between the lines 2002 Z28 Six Speed, what's your point?

 

I agree with most of what is being said...
1. Dont bash on Fuddle, or any other sponsor here. Bashing is not a good thing and as stated there is most likely more going on then what those outside that particular transaction know about.

2. Dont rely on other ppl to feed you what to buy. Buy from someone you feel comfortable with, customer service support before/during/after purchase makes a big difference to me.

3. What works in my car may not work well in yours.

Now, Honda Hunter made some good points that all too often someone has a bad experience, for whatever reason and you will either have those siding with buyer, or those with seller. Too often, there are ppl siding that really shouldn't, either never dealt with said shop, or just have that all knowing type of personality. Qwiktim did get his converter that he ordered, and changed, although a few weeks later than expected. Not sure what the new owner has to say about it, if its installed or not. 2002_Z28_Six_Speed also has a point, dont bash Fuddle on here (the rest of his post is pretty much inflammatory bullshit until he steps up and says what he "knows". The rules on the forum are simple, if you have a problem, work it through the sponsor first, then when that fails post up your issue in the appropriate forum, this would be the sponsor feedback, not specific topic. That is not just for Fuddle, but for any sponsor. The rules protect you and the sponsor. I am sure several bandwagoners would not like it for a sponsor to come in here (or any forum) and discredit their all knowingness. I've seen it before and it got ugly quick, but ironically the bandwagoner was proved wrong in public.
A good tip with that is to click on the SN, look up replies they put about certain products, e.g. 2002_Z28_Six.....tends to bash Fuddle, and promote Vig or Yank. Kind of shys away from TCI. That tells me since he never ordered from Fuddle, he may have some kind of agenda! He also claims he knows WTF is going on inside Fuddle, but when asked, he doesnt say anything, why not if you KNOW it, post it? The worst information is that held close confidence to you only, leaves others out in the dark.

My experience with Fuddle has been good on all three transactions. I did bake on TC Clutch, sent it back and was upgraded. FWIW we thought we'd bake the TCC but wanted to see if we were right or not, no questions warranty worked. There were questions though, like how much power the car made, how/when we locked the TCC up in the Street Performance TC etc.. more so for Johns information on how things were holding up.
My experience with Yank the first time was good as well. TC worked great, even though it came from a shop local and was sold as new, but in fact was rebuilt. Second experience with Yank pretty much made my mind up until Management changes I will never talk with them again about purchases.
Although I never used them, I installed several TCI's, most all 3500 and they are an excellent working TC. Warranty kind of sucked and CS was not so great, but 4 out of 5 products needed no attention once installed.
Currently running an ATI TC, though not a sponsor, I would not recommend them to anyone. Their terrible CS is not worth the premium cost.

2002_Z28...FWIW I am 35 y/o so fire away

 

i have questions about my fuddle...left John 4 messages and a PM with no response.....he is not on my list of recommends.

 

Everytime he post his opinion about Fuddle he gets flamed. You would have to see the other post to understand what he's saying.

 

I ordered a fuddle HP 3600 2.2 str for a 4l80e and it took 12 weeks so get. They would always say (when you got them on the phone) that it was shipping that day, which was untrue because it took 2 more weeks to get. Sooo when I did get it, it has a LS1 pilot that will not work with my Dart little M. Well by now I have no more time to wait for a replacement and finally got Melissa on the phone one day and she says they have a no refund policy but she knows someone local that is wanting this exact convertor and she would call them about buying mine and would e-mail me the next day. Thats been a week ago and no e-mail yet. I have since ordered a Vigilante that will be here friday. ( they do answer the phones ). This fuddle convertor is now. for sale brand new. 475.00 plus shipping. Screw fuddle

 

I like my fuddle 3200

 

The famous "Fuddle-Policy"............. even if it's their fault, they keep the cash.

Yet another unhappy X-customer...................... the "minority" as some called me when I posted my complaints, is quickly growing in size.

 

Another satisfied customer here. Oh yeah, I'm 50 years old. (not that age it has any bearing on credibility)

 

I like my Fuddle. John was an awesome guy to deal with. I recieved it in about a week and havent had any complaints.

 

With all due respect......

This is exactly why we don't have paid sponsors on our site. If a company does you wrong....let people know about it. Hiding behind the "sponsor protection" is BS. It's up to the company to keep it's customers happy. If they can't do that then....deal with the negative publicity. I understand that you can't please everyone but the negative should be heard along with the positive.


I'm kinda lost here. You can't feel comfortable with how they treat you if you haven't bought from them yet. Almost every company will treat you right until they receive your money. Then, who knows? That's where a big forum like this comes in handy. You read about customer service, product reliability, performance etc....and can form a pretty good idea about what you will get.



From what I've seen Fuddle has put out some pretty good converters. I have a couple of friends that have had good results. After reading the reviews here....there are more good than bad and I would consider buying one if mine goes south. It looks to me like John will take care of ya if you have problems. If he doesn't...you can bet I'll post up about it.

This Specific topic asks people's opinion on Fuddle converters. Seems logical to me.

 

well John just responded to a pm I sent awhile ago...we will see.

 

Best point ever.

 

I think Im gonn aget a 3500-3800 fuddle tc at the end of summer, anyone know how much to get installed.

 

A bit off topic isn't it? Stay on topic or post your own thread.
