any one see the jegs deisel truck performance packages in their new catalog? it includes a dyno dominator,a rapid flow exhuast sys. an rfi air intake and a gauge pod with gauges, for $1610 or you can get it with a power pup for $1256.99. is this a good deal? iam thinking of starting my upgrades with a package like this.

Edge Juice w/ attitude: $640


AFE Stage 2: Around $240 or less


DPPI Stainless 4" exhaust: $480 or less


$1,360.00. If you shop around you can get it for less.


Other than the 4" exhaust (I have 4" duals $750), thats the combo I run and it screams.


Jesse

You forgot guages and pod


around 250.00


GenoEdited by: geno

with the attitude you don't need guages and pod.

where did you get the Edge juice w/attitude for $640.00

I am staying out of that one.........http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif


Thttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gifNY

those prices are dealer prices. i dont know why greenduramax04 would tell you dealer prices since consumers are not dealers and most people have no way of becoming one in order to get these prices. sorry for him misleading you guys. you may be able to get close to getting one of these products at those prices however i really doubt you will find a dealer to sell you all of them at the dealer price. good luck.

You can get them that cheap online if you look around.

Tulsa, I'm not misleading anyone. I know of two or three different dealers who sell them for that price. All I did was make a few phone calls to find the best prices. I've also learned what the dealer price is. Trust me, its alot lower then $640.


I did the same thing for my exhaust, intake and tires. Called around, asked questions and found better prices than most people on this forum paid for their stuff.


When you bought your truck did you pay sticker price? Thats what I thought.....


I'm sure there are many people on this forum who have saved alot of money with my advise. I never mislead.


Jesse

Like GreenDuramax04 said, if you ask around you can get stuff cheap. I just bought my Juice w/Attitude for $639 shipped. So it is possible Tulsa1718

LBZrcks,


Where did you find that price at?

call edge and ask them, I am sure you could get it for less then 500.00

Edge doesen't sell direct to the consumer ...


Mac

Everybody knows profit is injected as the products change hands. Manufacturers typically make the least on their own product. Resellers compete amongst each other, sometimes under restraint by the manufacturer. That's why a lot of times everybodies lowest price is the same. The manufacturer will cut supply to the reseller that doesn't comply.

Then you have the underground cutthroat dealings.

Wholesale prices are no secret. Anybody that really wants to know can find out.

Some is legit while some dealings aren't kosher. It's all in how far you want to go to save a buck and if you care about support/service and warranty.Edited by: hoot

I know, that was a sarcastic comment. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif


Just wondering where all the back up is gonna be when your 600 edge box gives you problems. I would bet that the guy who sold it isnt gonna care, he made his money on ya, I know that Edge has a good reputation for customer service, but.......


I found a place to buy Nictane filters even cheaper then the manufacturer!!!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif


I wonder what all these people do for a living on these forums, cause if somebody is in construction, I want a house built... I am willing to pay up to 20.00 per sq ft. I know that is low, but materials are only so much money and apperently we all work for next to nothinghttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif

WELL SAID DMAXALLITECH

So what your saying is pay $810.00 when I can find it for $640.00 just so somebody makes some money? Everybody is a bargain shopper. I paid my debt when I bought this $40,000.00 truck, now it's time to be a little frugal.

Everybody is a bargain shopper. I paid my debt when I bought this $40,000.00 truck, now it's time to be a little frugal. I was gonna go and buy a truck at the local dealer, but I figured, why should I put money in there pocket? I went over to Flint and just walked in, gave the guy at the window the 15,000 it takes to build the truck and drove away with my new truck. I didnt have to pay the guy to truck it over, the dealer to stock it or nothing. Now, If we could all do that, we could eliminate the middle man (dealer) and put them all out of business, eliminating them would also do away with the 'stealer' term and we could just fix the truck ourselves should it have a problem

Why don't you kick some butt down at city hall so you can


OPEN YOUR DAM STORE

People give me a hard time because I'm cheap, I mean frugal. I just want the best deal out there and if that means somebody only makes a few bucks off me instead of a pile, oh well. I'll sleep better knowing I saved a buck and they will still get their money from somebody else, I would bet their family isn't starving.

$170.00 in nickles, dimes and quarters adds up to a new air intake thank you very much!

What a way to hijack a thread guys.....


dbloyd,


Here's my opinion. The items that you mentioned may seem like a good deal because they are packaged, but they might not be the best quality. You can probably get better bang for your buck (better quality stuff) by buying them separate. Think about the following;


Do you like the look of the gauges?


Does the dyno dealio have all the features that you want? Do you have any feedback from anyone who has used it?


If the air filter system of a good quality?


What is the exhaust system specs and how does is compare to others?


Have you heard of these guys; http://www.dieseldynamics.com - worth taking a look at.

All any of the "customers" here are saying that it pays to shop around. You cannot tell me that you would rather pay $170 more for the same thing that some one else buys. I for one am very happy with the service that I have gotten from the company I bought the parts for my truck. They are a legit company and not some fly by night operation. I know that there are more than a few people here who have bought things at the same place and have saved big money.


There are vendors here,who I will not name,who have contacted me and said they did not like me posting how much I've paid for things. That's bulls*it. This forum is for the Chevy Diesel Owners. To help each other with anything that involves their Chevy truck. As far as I'm concered that means helping each other find the best deals on things for their truck. Am I wrong?

Eric,


It's not going to get you anywhere.

picking a product supplier and sticking with that peson will in the long run save you money.deals can always be found but sometimes the cheapest deal isnt the best.just my opinion.

Same OLE same OLE ....


Price, Service, Availability, Delivery.... Everyone has different priorities...


No one should have to be made to feel guilty because price means everything ...


Why does anyone paint there own floor ?? To save money ...


No one ran into the dealer and willingly paid MSRP ...


I could go on and on ....We ask you to Support the vendors here if you chose to or look for value and service else where ... Pros and cons either way ...


Ask ProblemChild ....


xtremediesel (http://gallery.bcentral.com/Gallery/ProductDetails.aspx?GID=5039395&PID=2894841&page=1 &sortOrder=0)(cha,ching) sells the Edge Attitude,monitor and free ext cable, with mount for $***.** delivered ....


He is a full service install center,dyno on premises, in NJ ....


So WTF vendors who cry bout Ebay low balling ?? So say YOU !!!


I have never spoken with the owner, I invited him to be a preferred vendor and he is registered here .... I have no affiliation and receive no rewards ... Just smoking deals ... I think you guys in the Tri-state area should set up a dyno day there and check him out ...


Compete and you win and so do the consumers ....You want these members as customers ?? Offer some deals ,sell your service this isn't rocket science .... Guilt trips are for losers ....


No guilty conscious here ...

Mark @ DPPI

i really didn't mean to stir up this much contraversey. but thanks for your opinions. i been talking with cyclone, he gave me some insite, so i am probably going to buy from a vendor on this list. i think they deserve a shot at our bussiness first.

I don't disagree with you, but let me inject my opinion from a "Vendor" perspective.


1. I'm in this business because I enjoy it, but I do need to make enough money to keep my doors open, grow the business (number of products we sell, inventory, etc), pay my salary (enough to support my family) and have enough money left over to be able to do new product development (which is typically a negative cash flow situation until you have a production product to offer). This means that I need to watch my profit margins closely to make sure that all of my expenses are covered.


2. There are a TON of people getting into the "Diesel Performance" business "on the side", with the sole intent of making enough money to buy what they want for their own truck(s). They are all over the internet and they typically offer the "cheapest" prices because they're not worrying about covering the "fixed costs" associated with running a business. These guys may or may not be there if/when you have a problem. They may or may not actually have inventory. They may or may not be able to offer you tech support...BUT...they will be cheaper.


3. Many of the "Legit" internet dealers like myself comply with the "Minimum Advertised Price" policies for the products that we sell. That doesn't mean that we won't work with you or match prices (when reasonable)...just that you have to ask because the manufacturers will have a fit if we drop the price we show on our site.


4. There is some value to establishing relationships with vendors, even if it means paying a few more $$$ for the product. You may get a bigger discount on a different product later, or tech support when you need it (even on products you didn't buy from that vendor), etc. For some people, the only thing that matters is how much they pay. For others, it's what they get for the $$$ (over and above the product) that makes the difference.


Feel free to read my PRICING POLICY (http://www.itpdiesel.com/Pricing.shtm), it's all spelled out in writing on my site.

Well said...

ITP, I agree with you.


I'm just trying to pass along "good deals" I find to others on this forum who are trying to save some money. I know I would not be able to afford to buy the things I've gotten for my truck if I had to pay the price that most vendors sell their products for. You do have to put a price on customer service and tech support. For me, that is not much of a concern. But some people really need the tech support or need the place they buy the part from to install it. So, getting the best price possible is not for everyone. As far as I'm concered I think most of the vendors that are on this forum are great and very helpfull to their customers.


My main problem is the messages I've been getting from a certain imature vendor saying that the only reason I'm able to use this forum is because of vendors like himself.....and stop posting what I pay for things....and don't recommend certain parts....etc.... Its getting very old.


I'm sure any advice I've given anyone here has not hurt the business of any legitimate vendors on this forum. I'm pretty sure that everyone who frequents this forum already knows what vendors to support and what vendors not to.

Jesse,


The truth of the matter is that none of us VENDORS would be here (advertising on this site) if it were not for people purchasing the trucks and starting up support websites like this. I'm grateful for the business that the internet forum guys send me. I know that there are other internet vendors that people can use, and some that are cheaper than me. I figure that I'll be fine as long as I don't forget these things.

Dennis,


I could not agree with you more. If only all vendors here had your prespective.


Jesse
