Bad business & Personal ethics

[Dually02]

I don't know if this is the place to post this. But I can't find a spicific forum. But I would like to speek my mind!!! I have bought product from "Black Cloud Diesel" (Gary). I came across another website called "Black Cloud Diesel Performance" I had to call Gary at Black Cloud Diesel about my Trans. temp. gauge. I then asked Him if he started another website called Black Cloud Diesel Performance. He said no. He also said that the guy that did start the new company had worked for him. I think that's extremely low . Gary taught this guy about the business, an for his thanks he's trying to steal his business name. Almost the same and selling the same products. Would you like his pants too. I wish I could say what I feel, but I'm keeping it clean hear. P.S. Gary is a great person to deal with. Very helpfull, and willing to do what it takes to please the costumer. I will never buy from Black Cloud Diesel Performance.

Yeppers, takes all kinds to make up a world, doesn't it ?

Years ago a friend ran a AAMCO (spelling) transmission shop which had a greater reputation than most of them...

a guy opened a shop right before his driveway in a busy blvd and put a big sign right on the street ARMCO transmission service that blocked his sign.....

Sad

I dunno dude Unless you were in on the company enough to know exactly who did what to whom - then you just don't know. Garrett of "Black Cloud Diesel Performance" was and is always on TDS and he also is "Very helpfull, and willing to do what it takes to please the costumer." He is also a site sponsor here - "Black Cloud Diesel" is not.

Having been through a failed partnership - in the business world they very seldom end on a pleasant level. And each partner thinks they are in the right.

So did you call Garrett and get his side of the story before posting this?

I don't think I have ever bought anything from either of them - but even if I did - I wouldn't loose any sleep over them splitting up.

If you knew the WHOLE story, you would apologize for what you just said. Gary still owes me $$ for a part I made and sent out to HIS customer.-It's been a few months now so I don't expect to see that $$. Garret reminded Gary about the part, but still no check. If you knew why Garret left, you would change your opinion. Gary did not teach Garret anything, but I'm sure Gary is crying that he taught Garret everything he knows. You are seeing it through Gary's eyes, you need to see both sides before forming an opinion.

rgdillon brought up a great point. Garret has been on the forums from the start helping many people out and sponsoring varius forums. And Gary has done what to help anyone? Nothing at all.

This was posted by Max Power on Feb 10 '06 and is a sticky on the SDD home page. With full disclosure by our webmaster, there should be no confusion. I have never ordered from either vendor so I have no experience or opinion...just stating facts as I see them.

Oh man is this dejavue from a year ago! And why I made my change.

Don't get on Garret, he probably made Gary.

I dropped a PM to Garrett to see if he wants to offer his view point in this thread. Maybe out of respect to him we can all hold our comments and tounges until he weighs in.

Thanks,

I'd like to mention one thing...Garrett @ BCDP IS a sponsoring vendor...Gary @ BCD isn't to my knowledge.
