Staff, looking for some guidance here. CAPT Arellano, speaking, please not the comments made by Mike L on the tranny shop yesterday. Totally unacceptable. Standing by before I pursue this further......thank you.

 

[jmaz268]

[KKami361]

It sounds like Mike said something bad about that guy's trans shop?

Edit: Reading Links

 

[jmaz268]

Lol tell him to quit crying a get thicker skin.....if he is all bent of shape about that, bet he has led a pretty rough life.

 

[jmaz268]

its about ATS lol...

 

[KKami361]

IMO, Mike is showing his disliking of ATS... but it definitely could have been worded better

 

[TDFDiesel]

Mike could have worded it better, but I think he was saying it's a lie. It seems from a scientific or mechanical perspective Mike feels the statement is inaccurate and misleading to consumers.

Maybe edit the thread and ask Mike to try convey his thoughts more professionally in the future?

Mike had clearly stated previously what the part did and had not trashed it IMO. He only argued that using it with an ATS transmission vs a different transmission wouldn't net different results.

 

[jmaz268]

I deleted the post....gonna inform the whiner on having some thicker skin.

 

[TDFDiesel]

I closed the new subsequent thread, I felt the issue was addressed and it was going downhill quickly.

Great call. Many jumping in on an issue not related to them. My question is Mike L, what started this mess. Looking for guidance from the DF staff. Read his post and tell me if that is acceptable to the DF forum. I know he is a "sponsor" but does that allow him to break the rules........

 

[TDFDiesel]

He has opened another thread.

http://www.duramaxforum.com/forum/transmission-shop/105285-mike-l-tranny.html

 

[TDFDiesel]

Here is closed thread.

[TDFDiesel]

What actions do you feel is warranted?

Should newest thread be closed or let play out? He has posted the violating verbiage from Mike L in the very first post.

Is an infraction warranted?

 

[TDFDiesel]

I thought about sending this reply, is it appropriate?

The concern was brought up and addressed by forum staff.

Yeah that would be appropriate.

This guy bought the truck and posted thread about his new truck on 9/7.

http://www.duramaxforum.com/forum/introductions/105065-2006-lbz-duramx-cclb.html

The same day he was posting about a MAF issue on his ATS intake.

http://www.duramaxforum.com/forum/0...rtrain/105082-2006-lbz-duramx-cclb-p0107.html

His previous truck looks stock.

http://www.duramaxforum.com/forum/vehicles-sale/83106-1-owner-2008-silverado-duramax-dually.html

Then this post was made at 7:53pm yesterday 9/8/11.

I have been very pleased with the ATS Co-pilot but have had the tranny undergo a total rebuild at ATS, so I believe it is a synergistic effect of having two components working hand in glove together.

Which started the riot when Mike immediately responded with.

You are also full of shit. Don't think you ever drove a truck with a good trans.

Leading me to believe Mike was right and he had no prior experience except driving the recently purchased truck from Iowa to North Carolina.

This guy is getting pretty defensive over a product installed on his truck when he bought it.

 

[ob_1jr]

yeah he is. Weird I was reading one of his posts..he has been in for 37 years in the military and only a Capt....he was either prior enlisted, in the guard, or just a real tool.

 

[TDFDiesel]

Yeah that would be appropriate.

PM Sent.

Mike's comment was out of line, but the onslaught of posts from Bertram31 were much more disruptive and inappropriate IMO.

Mike should receive a warning as his actions also violated the rules.

 

[ob_1jr]

I think Mike actually knows this member as it is stated that they have talked on the phone before.
