I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't been keeping up with this thread like I should have. So I went back 30+ pages or so to get caught up.

Holy ****. What a shit show. I'll keep it brief...

You're son has done you proud, I'm glad your shoulder is doing ok, and I'm very hopeful you get your Tahoe back soon and it runs good.

Thank you for the kind words! Shit show is an understatement!! I was supposed to call today, but I already know what the answer will be--so why even bother.
All I can say--Karma is a *****!!

Tony, I can’t imagine the frustration that you are feeling.

There are 6.0’s available, he just doesn’t want to pay for them. Explain to him then you brought him a working motor and he needs to provide you a working motor, even if it costs him.

Here is one that isn’t too far from you. Yes it’s $2000 and he will lose money, but they are out there. He needs to understand that in his business, there is a risk that he will damage stuff and that he needs to replace it when that happens. He should have insurance to cover this sort of thing. Otherwise he shouldn’t be in business. This is no different than if he put a customer vehicle on his lift and it slides off. He wouldn’t tell the customer that they are on their own and he has no skin in the game.

I might consider small claims court to at least get the money you spent on the motor back.

Looks like a great deal to me. 79k and a 90 day warranty.

We already gave.
Yes, I feel uncomfortable asking for donations--again :oops:. My tyf brothers came through for me once before, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of anyone's kindness--especially in these tough times.
What’s up with this @Tonyrodz? You get an email from gofundme..?
I just took care of it--I think--with an update Sam.
I have $100 for a go fund Tony’s motor.

Donations paused
Our team has contacted the organizer with a solution, and donations will resume once the issue is resolved.

The account needs attention.
Thank you @Jimmyy For your kindness, especially for being a new member too!
