DON'T GO TO TTP FOR INSTALLS!

[ar0ck]

I recently had a problem with my car over heating after trips lasting more then 30minutes of road time. At first I thought it was a random accurance since it was during our mini heat wave last week. I had the radiator flushed by a local Chevy dealership because the anti-freeze was **** brown in color. I thought the problem was fixed, and I continued to drive the car during the week. Well tonight I just came back from a quick trip around town and my car started to rise in temperature. I let it sit outside, and about an hour or two later I jumped back into my car only to see the temps instantly rise into the RED! Obviously something was seriously wrong, so I turned off the car and poped the hood open only to NOT hear my Meize electric water pump running at all. I had a problem with it once before and it turned out to be a faulty relay, so I started checking fuses to open up my fuse box to discover the most Ghetto Rigged wiring I have ever seen in my life. The main power lead off the pumps relay was just layed into a fuse area wedged in by a fuse! What happened was the wire wiggled loose losing contact within the fuse box causing the water pump not to come on.

END RESULT OF CRAPPY RADIATOR FLUID

As many of you already know I don't do alot of my own work on my car. This electric water pump was installed by TTPerformance in Clifton (a site sponsor). I did not leave there a satisfied customer the first time. I had nothing but problems, and I heard through a former employee that the car was rediculed for being an LT1 something they do not regularly work on. ("LTFun" was written in dust on my hood since the car sat there for well over a month)

I honestly don't know what else to say but to just stay away from these people, Ive heard alot of bad things and this just goes to show the quality they put into peoples car. I payed top dollar for this install only to find out how badly I was ripped off....

if anyone wishes to post a complaint it must includes specifics of your personal experience with a particular vendor/installer. without details the posts are worthless and will get deleted.

once again i remind those invovled, either comment and explain personal experiences with/about a particular vendor or don't bother posting. if this thread needs to be moderated again it will be deleted entirely.
