What gives you that idea?

I haven't heard from him either. My TB went out 3 weeks ago. He told me on Monday that it would be shipped out during the week and I would have a tracking number. He is a week late now and I haven't heard from him at all. I'm getting really pissed off because he has my only TB and I can't drive my car. He sure cashed the check I sent him in a timely manner though. WTF is going on?

I know he has had activity on the forum recently so there is no reason for him not to drop a line and let his customers what's going on.

I wonder if he had some sort of emergency or something?

Doesn't Ron work for GMMG or something? Is there any way that I can call over there and find out what's up?

Well I have known him for a couple years now and I cant ever recall him intentionaly screwing anyone over,I do know that he has a lot of travel time associated with his job at GMMG and he has to leave at a moments notice sometimes.

I'm not insinuating that he is intentionally screwing people over. I have read nothing but good things about him and his work, that is why I sent him my TB. Since you know him so well, maybe you could contact him for us or let me know how to contact him? I haven't driven my car in a month and am really getting the itch to

joblo, I've been trying to get a hold of him as well, and I have his personal cell phone number. He's probably pretty damn busy if he can't return my calls, so I wouldn't get too caught up. I've never heard of him being late on a throttle body once, so this would be a first. I'm in a similar situation that my GMMG catback is sitting in my backyard awaiting a piece of pipe from GMMG for repair. I can drive the car w/an open y-pipe, it just sucks.

However, also, keep in mind that GMMG is in GA, and that is only a hop skip and jump away from Katrina's path of destruction. You never know what they could be doing or if they are helping out with disaster recovery.

If he is having some sort of emergency, I have a throttle body I can loan you for the cost of shipping both ways if you really have to drive the car. If thats something you would like to do let me know.

Yeah, I understand that and luckily, I do have another vehicle to drive. My wife sent him my throttle body while I was deployed at National Training Center in Ft. Irwin and I was just expecting to have it returned once I redeployed. I know he's closer to that disaster than I am and understand if he has an emergency. I hope everything is ok for him and/or his family if he did have to jet over there or something. He did e-mail me and tell me it was finished and ready to go out a week ago though. I'm just impatient I guess and want my car up and runnin' ya know?

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of contact. I have alot going on personally right now. I am sorry it has affected getting your TBs back to you all. I have a family member who is passing away and we had an emergency with him this weekend.

All TBs are completed and will be going out tomorrow.

Joblo, I guess there was a misunderstanding on my end with your TB. In your emails/PMs you told me absolutely no rush as you were not coming back from NTC for a few weeks and as long as the TB made it back to you by Sept 10th you would be fine.

Again, I am sorry for all of the inconvience I have caused you all. I will get caught up tomorrow

Travis, I will shoot you a PM tomorrow with what I find out also.

Ron

So have they been sent out yet? I haven't received a tracking number or anything else stating that it has been shipped.

I recived a PM from cyphur_traq today telling me Ron is very sorry for what has happend and he didn't mean to cause any issues with his clients. He is going thru a rough time right now with family problems (someone in the hospital). So he has left the TB's with someone at GMMG with the addresses to be shipped out, they should have been sent out by now. Ron will be PMing/e-mailing all of us who have been waiting. I already feel pretty stupid because I sent him a few PM's and e-mails and I was a lil pissed off in my words. I've already sent him a e-mail appologizing for my actions and I will wait patiantly for my TB to arrive.

All my thoughts and prayers to you Ron and your family.

Thanks for being understanding. Ron is going through a rough bit right now, and he has told me that he will make sure that you guys get your tb's when he gets back into town Monday. They are completed and were left with Angel(sorry if I got your name wrong?) @ GMMG w/shipping addresses. Like was said in the PMs, they may or may not have shipped already. If not, they'll ship Monday and then you'll get tracking info.

Please be patient as Ron is dealing with a family emergency right now and is out of town.

So am I but I'm sure Ron is very busy since he took off work for a week or so. Be patiant, he's not trying to screw us. I know it's taken longer than expected but this is life...expect the unexpected. He's still dealing with family problems at work with (I'm sure) more work than he can handle when he came back.
