Continuing saga for Roush 511

In the end it will work out like all the issues with a "reputable" manufacturer. It just bewilders me that they let it go so long, they sure don't save any money, so I have no idea why they (Manufacturers) let it drag out, UNLESS the majority of customers just go elsewhere and no one else knows about it.

I was talking to a guy at a floor store once. Rock bottom prices. He indicated 6 out 10 installs went fine, 4 out of the 10 had major issues, they would stall up until the court date. 3 out of those 4 would just give up and eat, one would fight to the end and they would go out and redo the floor. He said he made more money that way then paying high dollar installers for all 10 jobs. Oh yea it was national flooring chain.

Just an update - Engine running great but starter failed. Been waiting on it to arrive via snail mail from Roush. Ordered Thursday but no word when it will arrive. It will be 5 months next week without my motor or car. I know posting these updates wont heklp me but hopefully Roush will move faster for the next guy.

Ron, while I know Roush should pay for a new starter, Jegs or Summit or whoever could deliver one overnight. As I said before, you're a patient man, and I wish you the best of luck and years of enjoyment.

I just received the tracking info from Roush and it is supposed to arrive this monday the 15th, 8 business days after being ordered. At this point, I have forgotten about patience, I just want my car back in working order. I have ran out of things to try to force things along faster.

Ron you could try sending Bob B. to Roush for a visit.

Another one of those out of control gun toting Arizona wack-os. I'm sure glad I don't live there.

Sirs and Mr. Carnut,
Please refrain from conversations on this Automotive Enthusiasts discussion forum of specific geographic reference. I do not believe the fact Bob is from Arizona is important.

I would have kicked that guy in the nuts for the 3 out of 10 that didn't have the huevos to stand-up to that a-hole. What a sleeze to even brag about horrible installs and wearing out honest people.

Hang in there, csx4910.
