I'm trying!

Had a customer stop in today inquiring about programmers. Since we are primarily 6.5L GM diesel I wasn't able to assist him w/ his desire for 7.3L Powerstroke too much. On the bright side, I passed along info about Power Hungry. Despite having already ordering a hypertech, he seemed to be interested in the Edge/Gryphon..... after all, I plugged Bill's expertise with programming and showed him the website, doing my best to sell him on the quality and features....not to mention the great service......
Since he's not looking for massive power gains, rather hoping to improve mileage, he may be lucky with the hypertech; but, I still think he'd be better off with a strictly economy tune from Bill.

In any event, I'm sure if he investigates here some more, all of you 7.3L guys can really help him out too.

Thanks, BlackSTX! This is how Bill and Corey have really built their business, from recommendations by satisfied customers (friends) like you and me. Hope he shows up here and Cleatus12r (Cody) gets to talk to him.

Jack, it's never a problem to steer people to a place where they'll get the help they seek. If you can't assist them yourself, but you can point them to someone who can, you've done a service for both.
Besides, this forum is a place where someone can get help without the antics associated with some of the other sites. I think we're all adult enough here to realize some people preferences don't match with ours, and that doesn't mean we have an excuse to belittle or ridicule them for it. That is one simple reason why I would gladly send someone here for answers.

I'll help him if you can help me with a 6.5L problem

Seriously, I can sell ketchup popsicles to women in white gloves.

Tad, we're definitely on the same wavelength! You said it perfectly!

Cody, ketchup popsicles? You didn't tell me about this talent when we were in Vegas. What the heck else were you hiding?

Hey Cody! You probably aren't surprised by the number of mechanics and service writers who don't know much, if anything about diesels. In fact, one of the service writers I worked with admitted to running from the desk when a diesel came in the shop. Some of the guys I worked with years ago would outright refuse to touch them too.
While I have not personally worked on a diesel in years, I never ran from them, I wanted to learn more. I actually love the 6.5L turbo trucks I got to drive, and would love to buy one if I could find one at a good price that was still rust-free.

I'll pass on a popsicle though..... ketchup isn't my flavor.
