I'll never see my bird again!!!!!!!!!! Maybe back for 2006?
 

At this rate………. I will NEVER see my bird again…… maybe by 2006????

So, I had a custom made SS 4000 converter FOR A V6!!!! I spoke with the tech department at Yank 3 frigin times BEFORE ordering!

My last converter, ProYank 3200, was custom made to my spec’s so I am NOT A NEW customer to Yank!!!! They have my information on file!

I think we are pushing 3+ weeks now?!?!?!!?

My alleged SS4000 FOR A V6 arrived at TTP LAST FRIDAY. They went to install it TODAY… and it was too big?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

You have NO idea how mad I am!

Spoke with Matt, owner of TTP…..

Contacted Yank, the guy who answered the phone told me I probably ordered it wrong online…… I’m like NO PIG F*CKER!!!! Would I, the BIGGEST token V6 guy EVER, mistake my car for a V8?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

He looked…. Found that the owner of Yank made my ProYank 3200.

He claims I ordered the SS4000 for the 1993-1997 style f body. He told me his department assumed it was an LT1?!?!?!?!!

I told him, THREE calls to the tech department…. I provided all the names of the people I spoke with?!?!?!?!!? He was like…. Um..uh…. I ummmmm…..

I did not rip into him, I remained calm.

He then claimed that the v6’s aren’t that fast so I might not get that quick….. I’m like……. WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I then explained a bit about my car mentioning ET’s, MPH’s 60’s RWHP and RWTQ.

First thing he says, have you ever dynoed it? I went quite………. I then said, I just told you my #’s…. I then explained that my v6 is……. Quite quick compared to the other v6 3800 series 2’s All the info and spec’s I provided to the guy seemed to go in one ear and out the other?!?!?!?!

I provided my UPS tracking # for the SS4000 which is on its way back NOW to Yank.

Monday morning I will be able to speak with the owner of Yank…. And their tech department. So…… no firebird for oh…. Another 1-2 weeks?!?!?!?!

And…… adding the 410’s was a nightmare too!!!!!

I’m sooooo ******** pissed right now! Argh!

sucks major balls.....but at least youll be 100% by the time you get the car ready 8)

Dude...see how stupid it is to own a V6? Just suck it up, buy a V8 and you would not have these problems.


kidding. Dude, that blows man. Good luck, I hope you get the new one, and tha *** doesnt take till 2006, cause I just might have my car on the road before then!! :lol:

stupid customer service people....

Hey, he can keep the title.....

This is the last mod...... working on buying my 1st house now... so bird can sit and I don't need to race....

Updates to come....

Sorry to hear man :(

Well I tried posting before but guess it didnt go thru...
Let's race to see whos car is on the road first? :?
good luck with this..

i'll race it for you :wink:

Why do you have to be that guy?!

cuz i'm a better racer than you :lol:

you're heavier than me (DAMNIT there goes my "1337" post count :lol: :lol: :lol: )

yeah, but i'm a better driver. i haven't wrecked my car.

besides he wont have his license...so you'll be legal for the race :lol:

None of you freaks are drivin my bird!

damn man, sorry to hear all this. I am still waiting to get weather stripping kits from OPGI for the chevelle for the convertible top, and the damn thing is on! I ordered them 3 months ago and am beginning to get real heated. I layed into them a few days ago so they then figured out they owed me a rear view mirror (Which i had forgotten about) but not at big of a deal as your converter, but i know how you feel. Good luck man!

hopefully when you talk to teh tech people tomorrow you will get some good answers and they will take care of everything quickly.
i really wanna see you and little g on teh line together. make for some good video.
