Obviously I have upset some people here, and that I regret that I am involved in a thread that has resorted to flaming.

The truth is that through contacts I have made at ford, I am able to ship what I think is a very necessary upgrade. This part has the potential to extend the life of many enthusiasts' cars that they have sunk a lot of time and money into, I should know because I have an SVT. Trust me, when I heard there was a chance for major engine failure, I freaked. So, I went looking for the part, and I found a bunch of them.

I never thought that offering my help would make so many people upset. But I appreciate what this board has done for me; it has helped me save a lot of time and money, and I want to help in return, and this is something I can do.

So whether you buy from customcougars.com or me makes no difference, I just would like to see enthusiasts get the parts they need so they can continue to drive the cars they love. That's it.

So why is it you were looking for a DMD in the CEG classifieds? This seems suspicious to me.

As I mentioned above, once I became aware there was potential for major engine failure, I immediately began looking for a DMD. But instead of finding just one, I found a BUNCH of them.

I've installed the DMD on my car and been very happy with the result. So now I'd like to help others get what could extend the life of their vehicles.

The bottom line is, I am very grateful for this resource, and why would I want to ruin what has been very valuable to me? As I mentioned before, my motivation here is to help other enthusaists. Because I have a business license, I am able to buy from a wholesale warehouse; an option that is not available to the general retail market.

It's funny, back when Terry was selling them for 120 I reported I found a guy in England that would sell one to me shipped for like 80-90 bucks US. I reported that and got the same enraged "you're undercutting people's business" stuff.

Anyway, Art H. from out in atascadero reported that Gary at fordpartsonline may have found a US source for these, but that could be wrong as I never checked with them personally.

grimes,

I appreciate the fact that you are selling this item as well, My point is just dont post on another sellers thread, just start a new one... By the way, the price on your is a great price, it is just a shame that it came after the other DMD's were listed....

<sniff>c'mon guys, can't we all just get along?

j/k... like I've said a few times already, competition is good; this DMD marathon sale is helping us in the end. Tim explained himself better, and it makes more sense to me now, so let the free market work its magic. w00t.

My 2 bits on all this.....


Make sure you buy a new belt too while you're at it.

No point changing the pulley and putting on a worn belt.

At what point is the belt worn enough to bother replacing? I only have 35k; I'm guessing that won't be a problem?
