: The diesel place reported as "scam" by gmdieseltech
quantum mechanic 04-06-2005, 04:08 PM It kinda irks me that this guy is still around selling his crap and calling everyone as he does but reporting the diesel place, JK and the gm-diesel site, not to mention the diesel page as scams. I guess it takes all types.
I posted my .02

steiner43511 04-06-2005, 04:28 PM that was some juicy stuff!!!
Cowracer 04-06-2005, 04:45 PM Good ol' steaksauce!
My, times must be getting HARD for him.
It would all be so funny if it werent for innocent people getting SCAMMED (sorry, I couldn't help myself :p: ) by this pile of -:t
Now if only I could figure out his freeservers password...
Opps! Did I say that last part out loud, or just think it?

ChevyDave 04-06-2005, 07:40 PM Unfortunately I didn't find this site until I was scammed out of $650 by him about a year ago. But ya live and learn, and at least now there is info out there that exposes him.
dkubek 04-06-2005, 07:49 PM All that stuff on the other site did nothing but confuse me as to who was who and was talking about who and a helluva lot of trolls, whatever that means technically. It was harder to read all that than it is to watch soaps with my girlfriend.
dkubek 04-06-2005, 07:54 PM All I have to say is that this website has been extremely helpful to me and a couple of friends. The knowledge base of the vendors and individuals is exceptional---second to none. Perfect time to say thanks again to all who have helped me in the past.

So What did $650.00 get you Dave?
Joey D 04-06-2005, 09:50 PM I like to rattle that losers cage.
Mackin 04-06-2005, 09:51 PM So What did $650.00 get you Dave?
Ripped off :D
But seriously I would like to know why this guy is so hell bent against Kennedy,ever wonder? I mean dam this guy has been every where for the last umpteen years with the same Ole same ole............
Never ever seen why?
Odd duck for sure the reason the posting the length of being pissed off,everyone cools off
Not him?
Dave 2001 04-06-2005, 10:26 PM What I can't belive is he acutally thinks that people that read his forums are on his side. Any outsider that goes to his forum will know right away that he's the scammer.
guybb3 04-07-2005, 07:00 AM Hey joey, I notice he didn't have a come back when you stated you were an electrician from the peoples republic of Mass. and asked him to prove you were an alias. What a loser that guy is. When is JK going to sue his ass off? A1 Dbag was posting on the BD forum forever as dieselbill, anybody reading the forum could tell he was A1 customs. I deleted the duramaxbizhosting site from my favorites a long time ago (when I realized what a piece of garbage he was) and I don't remeber EVER seeing an address for his business. Master had me choking with laughter btw
guybb3 04-07-2005, 07:10 AM I stand corrected, he does now post an address. Anybody in Calif. live near Newbury Park? still no phone #
Cowracer 04-07-2005, 08:29 AM Ripped off :D
But seriously I would like to know why this guy is so hell bent against Kennedy,ever wonder?
Pretty simple, actually. Kennedy had the nerve to disagree with him.
When he started his crap on TDP, Kennedy called him out on most of it.
To me, sometimes Kennedy's responses on forum can seem fippant and dismissive. I choose to belive that he is a busy guy with demands on his time, but Steaksauce took it personally.
He then started his LIAR, SPAMMER/SCAMMER historonics on that board and the mods asked him to stop. When he didnt, they kicked his ass to the curb.
In his slippery mind, he equated that event to Kennedy and TDP being in cahoots, to prevent him from making an honest living and spreading the gospel on peace and light thoughout the world.
I belive he would be diagnosed as a bipolar paranoid with obsessive tendencies. I think he is just plain old nuts.

Kennedy 04-07-2005, 10:37 AM He accuses one of "spamming" yet:
Subject: GM Diesel Info
Hi,
I wanted to let you know about some stuff I have designed for my gm diesel truck, as I worked on some of the problem areas, those in need of improvement and adding to performance. I have been asked to do some DURAMAX mods too and will be working on those soon.
#01] "Dash Mounted Adjustable Boost Control" of my own design where NO wires need to be cut or spliced on the factory harness, I use OEM connectors for
quick plug in, automotive grade wiring and factory style wire loom. This
device allows you to control boost over the stock [and many aftermarket] levels on the electronic 6.5TDs. I run mine to get boost above the "BD"
brand chip.
http://www.duramax.bizhosting.com/My_Truck/boost_control.htm
#02] "Adjustable Fuel Control" this device allows you to control fuel enrichment from the injection pump on the electronic 6.5TDs, also of my own design and NO wires need to be cut or spliced on the factory harness. This device is very handy for adding fuel after other modifications, to adjust it to help control EGTs [exhaust gas temperatures] or in the case of 'charge cooling' via Water Injection or Intercooling, so you can get the most out of those systems by being able to add or adjust fuel as needed.
#03] "PMD / FSD Remote Harness" This harness allows the PMD [aka FSD] to be mounted on a heat sink ['cooler'], but further away from the hot intake manifold. We have heard of high IATs [intake air temperatures] so why then mount it on the hot intake manifold. I guess this was being done because no one had designed a harness, maybe because 1 of the 2 connectors did not exist, until now. I designed this harness to be OEM compatible and to look original. This harness works fine with the "PDC" [pump driver cooler], see #
4 below;
http://www.duramax.bizhosting.com/My_Truck/remote_pmd.htm
#04] "PDC" [pump driver cooler], this device cools the PMD / FSD, the product has distinct design features and advantages over similar product. The "AIR-GAP" design allows it to be mounted to but OFF of the hot intake manifold so it will get little manifiold heat.
http://www.duramax.bizhosting.com/My_Truck/pmd_cooler.htm
#05] "Water Injection" has been around since the 1940s [I think], and this system reduces IATs and increases power. My design is the result of countless hours of R&D and has its advantages of other available systems.
http://www.duramax.bizhosting.com/My_Truck/water_injection.htm
#06] "Propane Injection" the system is properly designed to add tremendous power at the parts of the powerband I find it needed it most and is most usable. It is quite different and has distinct advantages over some other competitive systems.
http://www.duramax.bizhosting.com/My_Truck/propane_injection.htm
#07] "Nitrous Oxide Injection for Diesel Engines" This system is the probably the ultimate power booster and is designed for diesel engines and a special version for the GM 'electronic 6.5TD' where it automatically adds the needed fuel, properly and safely to the engine that is needed for N2O [nitrous oxide] use. This was another stumbling block and why you have not likely seen any diesels with Nitrous Oxide Injection, especially no 'electronic' 6.5TDs.
http://www.duramax.bizhosting.com/My_Truck/nitrous_oxide_injection.htm
#08] "Performance Cool Air Intake" this design allows cooler outside air to reach the engine and a larger air filter surface area for better airflow.
#09] "Dual Auxiliary Cooling Fan Setup" this keeps my 1994 and other engines with no cooling mods cool up grades and while towing. This setup is a great alternative to the cooling mods and is easier to install.
#10] "Transmission Relay System", this system reduces the load on the ignition switch to help reduces ignition switch failures.
#11] "Fuel Lift Pump Relay System" this system reduces the load on the oil pressure switch to help reduce oil pressure switch failures..
#12] "Headlamp Relay & Intensifier System" this system reduces the load on the headlamp switch to reduce headlamp switch failures, and also give more voltage to the headlamps.
#13] "Catalytic Converter Test-Pipe", this pipe can be used in place of the catalytic converter for off-road use, for testing purpose or wherever legal.
#14] Automatic "Transmission Improver" increases line pressure and improves shifts, reduces slippage that causes heat and premature wear.
In addition, a much requested exhaust system is being designed for use with the 6.5TD, this is in process and will be announced at a later date.
Duramax
mods are forthcoming as well.
Some items are still in the testing phases.
Items #01, #02, #03, & #07 are my own designs reason and have design documents filed on each of them with the Patent Office [#14 in process], the reason I mention this is; it seems when a person has a good idea and takes countless hours of their time and put their hard work to design something many not only want to copy it, but worse they try to take credit for it as their own idea.
This seems to have already happened on key features of my boost control on my design and wiring of the NO-cut, NO-splice and plug-in connector design.
You will not see these products on the**********.com as it seems there is a situation that exists to mainly promote products of a certain advertiser.
It should be fairly obvious as which advertiser seems to be the only one posting in the Forum there, and why it seems no other advertisers want to or are given a chance to advertise on that site.
If great products for your truck made by others are being kept from you without your knowledge that is not too good, Is it?
I think that is a detriment to those who support that site by being members.
Shouldn't you be informed of ALL the stuff you can be that will improve your truck?
Lack of competitive products often results in overly high prices.
More info on other great products will be released over time on my webpage at;
http://duramax.bizhosting.com
Please note if the page does not load, bookmark it and try it again, the site may just be busy, if you like what you see like the SEMA & Power Launch stuff and want to see more things like that let me know, then i'll move to a bigger ISP to accommodate it.
My awaited article on the GM 2001 HD Silverado / Sierra Power Launch Tour is on the my site too.
Due to some of the dieslepage 'politics' and 'special interests', I will no longer participate there in that Forum, e-mail list nor will I be a member there. Which works out great, as I have been keeping busy with my projects and am no longer, controlled, or otherwise restricted from telling what i know and showing what are good GM 6.5 products and what are not, Also a SouthWest GM Diesel get together is now back in the works!
Those of you in the SouthWestern US, interested in a "GM Diesel Owners Spectacular" let me know.
I am planning 0-60 G-tech runs, renting a dyno so you can run your truck and also see REAL before and after performance gains of some mods, by various manufacturers and competitors so you do not have to rely on just claims or hearsay anymore. Sort of like how GM had the Ford & Dodges at the Power Launch.
There will be other activities, so let me know any ideas and what you'd like to see or do. If enough people plan to attend we could pool some funds and even rent a track for 1/4 mile runs and have some Diesel Drag races.
No date or place is set yet, so email your ideas to a1customs@aol.com Tell anyone who you think may be interested.
Also, I am still glad to help you with diagnosis, performance and other diesel or automotive questions etc...
So feel free to email me at; a1customs@aol.com
Be sure to visit my webpage; http://duramax.bizhosting.com
Best Regards, Jim
Kennedy 04-07-2005, 10:49 AM He has never stepped up and paid a dime of advertising at any legitimate site. Rather, he prefers to have his alias' refer people to his site. He even went so far as to claim censorship at BD Brake's message board after he was clipped for trying to steal customers away from them on their own board. Kinda like Lowe's going into Home Depot and handing out sale fliers...
quantum mechanic 04-07-2005, 11:10 AM I don't have a problem with him selling (???) products, per se, just his retoric. His message is mired in the muck of his personality, or lack thereof.
If this guy were selling shampoo or whatever the sales pitch would be about how his shampoo is the only "real" shampoo out there tested and proven, even if he just washed the dog with it once.
16gaSxS 04-07-2005, 11:30 AM I stand corrected, he does now post an address. Anybody in Calif. live near Newbury Park? still no phone #
The base address given is for a strip mall in Newberry Park, on of the business is called Mail Call it provides private mail boxes and mail forwarding services. JoeyD called them and they confired that he had a box there. Now Mr Brick Brain claims there is a Large building that belongs to A-1.....(I doubt it.) He may have a large size mail box. I truly believe this guy has mental problems. Like Mackin says most people would cool off after years later.
quantum mechanic 04-07-2005, 11:34 AM Why couldn't he like fords?
bowtie 04-07-2005, 11:37 AM :eek: And did the hair of the dog fall out ?:eek:
Has anyone ever gotten anything from him, or was it just junk that they got. I got tried of his mouth myself so I left for better "places"
bowtie 04-07-2005, 11:39 AM The base address given is for a strip mall in Newberry Park, on of the business is called Mail Call it provides private mail boxes and mail forwarding services.

I truly believe this guy has mental problems. Like Mackin says most people would cool off after years later.He hasn't "cooled off" cause this is most likely his living or at least part of it.
SO JK looks like your advertising for him now. Better watch out or he'll really get upset LOL
greg204 04-07-2005, 11:54 AM Is this the same idiot who kept using numerous alias' at the Diesel doctor site ? He's the guy that told me i was a troll because I was recomending the products that I had success with . thanks to 16GaSxS I don't visit that place any more as most of the things talked about there are who's a scammer or spammer and who's not . Thank you to all of you for this site and the VAST amount of good info I have gained here . You all and this site are awesome . Let GM diesel tech have his own little fantasy site where everyone worships the road he travels . I don't travel that way .
ChevyDave 04-07-2005, 12:30 PM So What did $650.00 get you Dave?
Well I broke down on a trip to California and I checked online to try and find out what was wrong (I only had the Burb for about a year and had done no mods.) It was stalling and kicking out various codes. After trying to troubleshoot it myself I ran searches on Google and came up with A1 and after emailing him he convinced me I needed a PMD, remote harness (he said I could not build my own because it would ruin the computer because of his special process he used to avoid the static feedback), and OP relay. I actually drove up to Newbury Park from San Diego to get the parts (he required cash) in a loner vehicle and he met me at a Denny's (wouldn't give me directions to his office or a phone number)
He showed up in a 85-90 Corvette with the parts and assured me they would fix the problem. When I got back and installed them, it didn't fix anything. Instead I still took it to two different shops, one a dealer and they told me that first the ECM was bad, so I had that replaced at the dealer, still wouldn't run. Then they said the optic sensor in the IP was bad and it could be replaced for only $1600, so I just unhooked the IP and drove all the back to Utah in limp mode. When I got back In stalled two different rebuilt IP's because they still wouldn't run, another ECM and a CPS and still had same problem. I then took it to two other shops another dealer and neither could find the culprit. I then began tracing every wire from the IP and ECM and found a shorting wire on the bottom of the wire bundle in engine compartment coming from the ECM. Which I fixed and haven't had another problem.
Anyway back to the A1 parts the remote harness was only about 30" long so it was too short to mount anywhere other than the upper intake, which I did at the time (but it got horribly hot up there) and I installed the OP relay.
I still have the OP relay installed, but the remote harness was a $250 waste of money. I ended up building my own that is 6' long and now mounts in front of the radiator where it never gets hot. Although I am still using the heat sink I got from him.
Anyway when I wrote back about the crappy harness (which was not weather proof and too short to do any good) I never got a response.
I actually found this site when I was sitting in the shop in San Diego searching on my laptop, and began to go in and offer suggestions to the mechanic there, since no one seems to have a clue about the 6.5L down there.
This is a great site and thanks for all the help I have received from everyone!:cool2:
Stay away from A1, I questioned his ethics regarding the price of his items and his refusal to give me an office address or phone # I think the only reason he agreed to meet me was I was desperate and couldn't wait a week for a money order to reach him and then get the parts I ordered a week later.
bowtie 04-07-2005, 12:36 PM Thanks
I was just wondering if he sold anything and delivered it and if it worked.
quantum mechanic 04-07-2005, 01:24 PM Thanks for sharing ChevyDave. I don't think you're the only one to go through that.
Intersellar opposites are A1 and Heath. Heath researched a problem for me once, gave me the right lead on the fix, never mentioned any products, I think anyone who talked to him on the phone would agree, he's a class act.
And I may not shout it out but I appreciate JK and what he does for the 6.5L world, too.
steiner43511 04-07-2005, 01:34 PM so what big city is this newbury park by? im goin to california last week in april and might be able to do some reconnaissance.
quantum mechanic 04-07-2005, 01:50 PM Just act like your 6.5L stalls and agree to buy whatever, if you want to meet him. :D
Carey Weber 04-07-2005, 03:23 PM I then began tracing every wire from the IP and ECM and found a shorting wire on the bottom of the wire bundle in engine compartment coming from the ECM. Which I fixed and haven't had another problem.
Dave I had the same situation with the wire going to the ECM from the engine compartment. I was getting P0251 as a code, and eveyone was kinda saying replace the pump due to a bad Optical Encoder. I resealed the four wires I found rubbed through and I've been great since then (about this time last year I have +10K miles on the fix).
I just thought I'd thow some tech stuff in here because the rest is not worth my time. It is wrong though for anyone to steal/misrepresent themselves period, and it is so obvious when they do. I hope the rest of us will just ignore the other because the rest is a waste of time. I for one want more tech talk and much less of the -:t .
Carey
16gaSxS 04-07-2005, 04:38 PM so what big city is this newbury park by? im goin to california last week in april and might be able to do some reconnaissance.I think it's near Santa Barbra you can punch in the address in the Yahoo maps and get dirrections. Look for a strip mall. You could take a box with a couple of rocks too the Mail Call and see if they take it to deliver for him.):h
Greg; Your welcome this and TDP are the 2 best places for us 6.5 owners I have found and I hate the way I and other folks who have tried to help folks like you been treated. I have no problem with people selling for a living I do it myself, but there is ethical ways of doing it.

quantum mechanic 04-07-2005, 09:19 PM If there's something technical here, it's the issue of which of his products doesn't really work, like say the fuel controller, or a remote harness that doesn't get you passed the intake manifold.

joispoi 04-08-2005, 05:59 AM This guy really knows how to stir the pot....even if he is nuts. That netscams site is shady at best. There's no business address, company info, etc. etc. Web mail goes to yahoo.com....just like dave's mail. I can't say that dave is the geek behind the netscams site, but come on folks....anybody can blast anyone on that site....it's not even a legitimate internet business

Turbine Doc 04-12-2005, 09:46 PM Once he gets your IP address he blocks you out and you can't join any of his sites to engage him, if you will read netscams posts they are all him, I suspect it's his own creation as a credible looking site with a forum to bash credible vendors & sites.
His writing style shows through even the ones supposedly against the multiple A-1 personas, read them long enough at the different sites and you can see him slip up in his story telling and when he argues with himself. He trolls in this site doesn't post much but you know he reads here, it's causing him pain evidently for him to call us out by name.

WOW Jeepgeek How you get those figures.
Hey TD If we believe he is lurking out the can't we block him from here?
Turbine Doc 04-12-2005, 10:10 PM Been banned once, I don't know if this site keeps track of IP addresses, I doubt it, he has the time to do that sort of thing as he-himself-& him hang out & chat with each other nothing better to do but look for IP addresses. Rest assured if he shows up wearing his true colors again, he will be asked to leave voluntarily or unvoluntarily.
bowtie 04-12-2005, 10:31 PM cool Glad to know ya are standing guard for us.
jeepgeek 04-13-2005, 03:26 AM Well I know he is lurking... I got booted already. Didn't even have the courtesy to let me know. I just tried to log on and poof, nothing. Guess I should have come up with another e-mail address to keep him off my scent a while longer.
The stats are on the main page even before you log in.
Just for kicks, he is up to 8 posts this month alone!

Yes we can and do. But it's easy enough to get another connection.Usually they keep their fingers quiet once that happens and lurk as your seeing here.
We don't like shutting peoples lights off,sometimes it's necessary.We always give a opportunity to make amends so we wont have to.In other words cut the ****.
Some members come back and we forget and forgive,a second chance when they are resilient to what was then and we appreciate that.
With The fore mentioned it wont happen.I'm sure that's why they remain silent and will to watch you. :)

Sorry Bowtie. I posted the link wrong.

Thought I would do my part to get under his skin too. "Just cause he's paranoid doesn't mean that were not after him".

Actually, his name is Eric, and he goes by the name DmaxalliTech here on the Place.
That David Hansen guy is a real A1 jerk!

gmctd 04-15-2005, 08:13 AM I'm wondering if he signs "jim" so as to appear as the owner of the Page?
quantum mechanic 04-15-2005, 09:35 AM I see "diesel page" refered to not diesel place?
Richard
He does mention both, as he has a history with both, and I can recall him getting booted from here a few months after this site started.
DieselChick 04-15-2005, 11:06 AM Who runs the dieseldoctor site. It seems like everytime that I go to make a statement after his screw up that thread isn't working anymore. Also why does he have such a thing for the SSDiesel company.
16gaSxS 04-15-2005, 11:16 AM Eric; Thats right sorry.....I stand corrected.
Diesel Chick;
He has a "thing " for any vendor that sell more than him which I suspect is all of them.):h
Cowracer 04-15-2005, 12:21 PM Chet/david/jim just dropped the gloves with me on dieseldoctor.
I didnt tear him a new butt hole as much a chewed all around it and let it fall out! You should read it, some of my best stuff yet! :D
its the post about 98 6.5 won't fire after warm.
bowtie 04-15-2005, 12:28 PM "DROPPED THE GLOVES"?
Whatcha trying to say here?

nvmtnlion 04-15-2005, 12:59 PM LOL Get im cowracer!
Dropping the gloves is a hockey term for indicating you have a disagreement and want to settle it by less diplomatic means http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
Cowracer 04-15-2005, 01:10 PM Anyone interested in his home address and phone number?
It's handy knowing cops...

It is the reason I started a thread last year at Netscams.com and filed a complaint with the FTC.:snipersmi A-1
Cowracer 04-20-2005, 01:46 PM Well,
I had done some checking on his real address and phone number. I am pretty sure I got the right guy, but I am not 100%...
Therefore I will not post the address and phone number right now. As soon as I can confirm that I have the right guy, i will share them with you all.

ChevyDave 04-21-2005, 02:20 PM I just came from the dieseldoctor website and it is so amusing to see the A1 guy writing from half a dozen different screen names and have conversations with himself. I would not be surprised if 3/4 of the original posts and responses are by him. I read the long post from Cowracer about A1's legal rights and disclaimers on the duramazbizhosting site and was fairly amused, as I doubt any judge would actually enforce any of it if a case was actually brought. I am an attorney and his language, phrasing, and "legal rights" that he claims are pretty outrageous, I couldn't help but laugh. :lol:
When I bought my parts from him I was in a severe pinch (broken down 1000 mile from home) and knew that when I bought them I was shooting in the dark but needed a quick fix and failing that would have to try to find a diesel mechanic in San Diego where I couldn't even find any listed diesel mechanics in the yellow pages. I only found one mobile diesel mechanic but he couldn't even get to look at my vehicle for more than a week. So I shot in the dark and got burned, hope others can benefit from my and others bad experiences with A1. :nutkick:
Dave 2001 04-21-2005, 02:28 PM I made a few post on the site too.. Funny thing is both the one I posted on got deleted.
Cowracer 04-21-2005, 04:19 PM From what I hear, the diesel doctor people have taken away his right to edit or delete posts so go ahead and post away. The madder he gets, the funnier it is. ):h
Between me and 16gaSxS beating on him, he'll be having a stroke any day now! :smashfrea
Tim
Joey D 04-21-2005, 05:58 PM I like toying with him, he is a very easy target. He gets upset when you bash on him. He loves the word troll and seems to get mad when I call him the salesman
ChevyDave 04-21-2005, 06:11 PM I posted a response earlier today which was deleted and now I try and post and keep getting a 404 error and it won't post my material, I didn't even post anything inflammitory either. I think I have been blocked. So here is what I was going to post in response to the "Chet" and the post was "6.5 turbo whistle"
Chet, harrassment is also a civil cause of action. But since you claim you are not the "A1" guy you have no ability to say whether what is being said is a lie or not. But we all know that you and your other split personalities are all the same person. So in order to claim what is being said is not true you would have to admit to being A1 and prove that what is being said is not true. This is impossible since that would blow your already exposed cover.
Although, I must admit it is very amusing to watch as you post responses back and forth to yourself, But I am afraid you will end up forgetting which voice in your head made the responses and end up fighting with yourself, somewhat like the court bathroom scene with Jim Carrey in LIAR LIAR. If you taped it though you may actually start selling again the net. The problem is that most people are becoming aware of your split personalities by now, lack of integrity, false claims of diesel expertise, "trolling" as its becoming known A1's products on every site you can.
If A1 really had a great product why doesn't he stand behind it with any type of satisfaction guarranty or have a phone # and business address listed, as well as registering with the local and online BBB. All businesses should be doing it.
A1 will never do anything other than keep trolling because:
1. they are not regestered in the State of California and as such it is doubtful that they paid any taxes on their business and to bring any action would open up their books and business practices to severe penalties and possible jail time.
2. on the entire website there is no mention of a business name, address, or phone # other than at the bottom of the website there is an address to send payment but NO name or phone #. As any internet user knows you should never trust any company that does not have that information on the site.
3. As much as you don't like people exposing you and your practices, there is in the end no cause of action because what is being said is pure truth.
I have never done business with Heath, Kennedy, or SSDieselSupply, but I have done business with A1, so I can attest to business practices and poor products. As the saying goes "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." As a former customer I and others have the obligation of letting others know of the business practices and products.
If anyone wants to find a quality parts vendor or has concerns with a vendor always double check with the party by calling them, getting their business info and check with their State Attorney's office, Dept. of Consumer Protection, and the Better Business Bureau both local and online versions. I know that a reputable company will willingly provide this information because they want to build a relationship of trust with their customers.
Again if you do make that video beating yourself up please make it available online in fact I'm sure several psychiatric medical universities would be pay top dollar for it for research and training purposes.
DieselChick 04-22-2005, 08:38 AM ChevyDave - I was running into the same problem - where I would be allowed to post and I get a error code but is is only for that thread so just to piss him off I went to another thread he was on and posted my response. I would definitely copy what you posted above and post it on another thread at the Diesel Doctor. The whole thing is quite humorous to me, he is such an idiot.:idiot:
ChevyDave 04-22-2005, 12:17 PM This morning it worked and I posted on dieseldoctor site. Don't know why it quit working yesterday.
ChevyDave 04-22-2005, 12:31 PM tried to post 2nd and was denied again, I wonder if they have a limit of 1 post per day for guests.
DieselChick 04-22-2005, 04:49 PM I think they just erased the thread that we were all picking on poor steaksauce because it is no longer on the list. This isn't the first time I have seen a whole thread just disappear. Guess they didn't want anyone else to read it. Pitiful loser that he is!!
diesel270 04-24-2005, 02:06 AM I talked to a guy on another site that bought the pmd cooler from him and he said it came shipped in a U.S. Postal Service box turned inside out and the box was stuffed with empty water bottles and toilet paper rolls.
And I've also read that the cooler did not come pre drilled for the pmd to bolt on to and he didnt give him any screws either
DieselPro 04-25-2005, 09:31 PM Go to BD-Power http://forum.bd-power.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1178
Rather long thread, but in there Gmdiesltech (Dieselbill) get's caught in being A1customs and also his customer {Brojunk} tells about the A1 product being shipped with toliet paper rolls and the inverted postal service boxes.
Cowracer 04-26-2005, 08:48 AM Ooohh! More grist for the mill.
If anyone is keeping track of it. I just about got steaksauce in full retreat mode over on dieseldoctor.com
My goal is to keep on him until he realizes that its a losing game and leaves to go pollute another board. Then I will follow. If anyone wants to help, all I ask is to keep the name-calling and childishness to a minimum, and to simply post other vendors website addresses EVERY time he posts his. Some good testimonials from people on other vendors stuff would help too.
Remember! If we take the high ground, he comes off looking more like the jerk he is!

Turbine Doc 04-26-2005, 09:29 AM Those of you posting on DD's site, did you pay the forum access fee, I can't get on that site for free as a guest, it will go through if I pay to join, but I just don't trust my card info at that site, I might be owner of a dry lake in the Gobi Desert before I get my card shut off.
I highly suspect the DD site is a A-1 venture, one reason I think this as soon as I attempt to log on my access is denied, plus my anti-virus soft ware gets real busy. A-1 has a habit of collecting IP addresses, same thing when I tried to join his Yahoo group, access was denied. Another reason if you have been around the various sites he has infected like a computer virus, his writing style does not change, it's very clear when he posts and "battles/challenges" himself. When he was kicked off of this site I was accused by him of being JK, Joey D, 16x16 Ga, Jim Bigley, and anybody else who disagreed with him, all as a single trolling entity, easier to try and dicsredit one individual than the many that know what a LOO-ZER this individual -:t -:t -:t is with a permanent L on his forehead.
16gaSxS 04-26-2005, 11:06 AM Turbine Doc;
You not being able to post at DD maybe a function of when Saucy boy was moderator. He since has lost it. Contact David Harkins here: d.harkins@mysticnet.com
he can get your restored.
Cowracer 04-26-2005, 01:22 PM Doc, the DD page is not related to the saucy one. I have been in contact with the owner and I am confident he is honest about dealing with him.
More to come

Cowracer 04-26-2005, 05:52 PM DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!
David Harkin sent me an email stating that he thinks he found a way to block him. Steaksauce was asked to leave and now the door is slammed shut behind him.
It almost seems like we should have a party!:beerchug: :drinking: :Get_him: :laugh_exp :rockit: :clap:

See ya steaksauce!:Moon:
Turbine Doc 04-26-2005, 05:57 PM Now we just need to be ever vigilant and debunk him where ever he decides to start spreading his lies next.
flanman5 04-26-2005, 06:01 PM The last 4 or 5 days of reading over there has been too funny.
I was going to get a product from him too i thank all of you guys and gals for the fun filled chat over there.
LOL
The thing that really shows he is anal retentive is the fact he bashed Kennedy , Heath and SS over there and had a answer for everything.
You did not see Kennedy, Heath or SS over there bashin that anal monkey.
It shows who is man about business and who aint.
You guys probably saved a lot of people same hard earned cash and deserve a pat on the back.
Good Luck and kick butt and take names latter CONSUMER POLICE:lol:

I know how much work you guys put in the last few days but it was time for him and references to him to go away. I asked nicely at first.
At some point he may reappear and I'd ask that you let me know when he does and I'll see what I can do.
I'm not the board censor but I do ask that you're careful about what you post and if possible not make references that will encite you people into a flurry of text.
I can put in a new board but considering that this one is simple and easy to post, and that the board never had a problem until he showed up, I'd rather not.
It's all yours "

bowtie 04-26-2005, 06:46 PM OK Who is david and why does it have "guest" after his name?
I have looked at the Diesel Doctor site and have always wondered that?
I am just asking so I understand.
cjk65 04-26-2005, 08:45 PM I used to visit http://www.65ldiesel.com until I heard luke warm comments, they used to have a forum and steaksauce was the moderator pushing his Censored.
