Good luck is all I can say. I was a loyal customer for years purchasing misc. crap for my 80. After the BS I put up with trying to communicate with Joey about a turbo order I am done with him. January of this year I asked for a refund of my $6k I gave him in August of 2020 and to date, he...

Dude, when I ordered you told me over the phone that you expected to ship in about 6 months, that was 18 months ago. You can be as pissed as you want but all I asked for was information along the way. That shouldn't be too much to ask for. If you look here on Mud you will see I asked multiple...

Wow, you replied. How wonderful. How hard was that? Over a year and you ignored every phone call, email, text and all I asked for was information, communication, you know basic customer service. Thanks, now I will wait 90 days.

NLXTACY - Have you refunded my order yet? If you have time to post you have time to cut a check.

Yes, I read the details back in August of 2020, and yes when I first talked to Joey he told me he expected about a 6 month lead time. After that, nothing. No updates, no ETA, nothing. He has absolutely ghosted me. Now, I just want my money back. For those of you waiting in line behind me...

Ok, I give up. 17 months after giving Joey $6k I still have no turbo and no update of when I will see one. Absolute BS. Joey, if you read this send me my refund! (You don't return phone calls emails or snail mail). Mud appears to be the only place you respond to people

Ok Joey its time for an update on those of us still waiting on out turbo kit. What's the timeline?

Ok, It has been over 300 days from the date I ordered my Turbo. August 31, 2020. I am about ready to jump off a bridge. The wait is killing me. I see Joey still posting so I know he is out there, but he has been ghosting me now for months and my patience is gone. Anyone else have to wait...

I pull a starcraft tent trailer (3608). Prior to my current rebuild I had no major upgrades. Well, 2.5 lift, bumpers, winch, dual battery and a long list of interior items. It was a rediculous heavy beast loaded with a wife, three kids, bikes and gear. But it worked. On hot summer days the...

Nice. My 80 started a little knock on startup this summer with 275k on the clock so this fall I began the rebuild. Motor and trans are done, just about ready to put it back together. It's been a long winter without her.

Ahhhh, you are killing me! When did you order?

@NLXTACY Hey Joey how about an update for all of us waiting for our turbo to ship. Thanks!

My 97 has 260K and has never given me any issues. I often tow a large tent trailer over the mountain passes here in Washington and make a handful of trail runs every year. My motor developed a knock this summer so it is going to come out this winter, when I pull it I am going to have the...

I did the OME 2.5 lift on my 97 with caster bushings and it works like a charm. The kit came with an alignment guide to set the new bushings and the whole thing took one afternoon. I did opt for the heavy duty springs which give me a "firm" ride while unloaded, but with the family, our camping...

Welcome. Funny I have been reading the forum since I bought my 97, 14 years ago but finally joined it 3 days ago. (who said I have commitment issues) The amount of shared knowledge is amazing and everyone I have met over the years with an 80 has been great.
