again this thread is not about jared or an attack on him.
the single and only reason i chose to start buying from RCD, witch ending up being around 15k, was because of a conversation with jared.
in that conversation, witch was about the parts that were on the truck i just bought, i asked if i have a problem with the parts that are on the truck will they warranty them. i was told yes.
so its not like i was just expecting things to be covered, i made sure to ask cause its never a given for warranties to transfer with a new owner.
The bellow was in no way "Very slightly distorted" it was very distorted. it was probably iirc 1 1/2" longer and way off centered.
The pipe distortion didn't change any in the 4 days between the 1st picture and the blown bellow picture, date is recored in the picture details on my phone. It was driven only once as "instructed" very slowly and carefully, had to get to work after problems with my jetta.
buts thats irrelevant.....why, cause the inner liner had already came loose causing structural failure of the bellow, leading to overall instability of the piping long before i seen there was a problem or the bellow splitting.
go take a foot long section out of the frame of our trucks and see how well it holds form with a key structural component compromised.
as for the getting it hot and melting it, thats were i started to have a problem with RCD not jared.
it was the passenger side pipe with the problem. the same side as we all know that has the EGT probe, witch was new. back pressure sensor was also new.
i monitor with a dash daq and have never seen EGTs get to 2000.
last i knew dash daqs were an acceptable way of monitoring.
it also takes sustained heat to melt metal, not just a flash of heat.
aslo, if i ran my truck up to and held 2000 degrees it would show both pipes got hot "glowing hot" right?
well RCD said the driver side was fine, no sings of melting or extreme heat.
so that leaves a mechanical issues from my truck to cause extreme, glowing pipe type heat.
wouldnt that kind of heat melt stock pistons?
never had any sort of problems to speak of motor wise.
it must of been some sort of undetectable, self fixing problem that happened and i didn't see it get to 2000 degrees and disintegrate the inner liner?
then what did elite pull out of the low pressure?
i dugg in the HP as far as i could with picks, needle nose pliers and didnt find anything.
real nice to be called a lier cause i didn't find anything.
jared did say he had a high pressure core with a broken shaft and a damaged compressor side.....did anything happen with that, no......would something happen with more time, i 100% believe so.
unfortunately i dont have tons of time until i need my truck back.
Email pics are to show dates as a rebuttal.
wasnt as simple as "got an email yesterday, responded in 3 minutes"
Not unhappy with the communication and wasn't being pissy about it just, went out and found some cores cause I have 6 years of time riding on getting my truck running.
jared,
every post i made never referenced you...implied it was your fault....said i wasnt taken care of by my contact at RCD.
THIS WASNT TO BOMB YOU!!
bottom line to me is the bellow that failed cost me 4,700
do i think RCD should of replaced the up pipe....yes
do i think RCD should of helped with the cores and not Jared personally......yes
did i complain about communication....nope thought it was fine
do i feel like RCD stood behind their product.....no
