OP,
This is a ch#tty situation and I have to admire how you have handled yourself. I won't claim that I would have done as well as you. I wish you the best in your build and a PROBLEM FREE 6.4 when you are done....God knows you deserve it.
I also hate to see this happen for Jansan and Rykan's sake. I don't know Eric to save my life. I have never met him or even talked to him on the phone. I have got to know Jansan and Rykan very well over the years from the work they have done of my truck at various times. They are two of the most honest guys in the diesel game you will ever meet as anyone who has done business with them will tell you. For myself (as some of you already know), during the last stage of the build I did, we ran into major problems...we got 3 bad reman HPFPs in a row. During the time they had my truck, Rykan and Jansan had the cab off of my truck at least 7 times trying to figure out what the h#ll the problem was and replacing multiple HPFPs. Even with all of the additional labor, I was NEVER CHARGED 1 PENNY OVER THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE. Obviously it wasn't Holder's fault that the remans they were getting from Ford were a POS, but he never asked for a dime more than the original quote. I just wanted everyone to know my experiences with Jansan and Rykan. They are stand up guys to say the least.
