Hi All,
I ordered a partial kit from Brian well over 2 and a half months ago and I still have yet to see anything. I understand he was having some health problems, and I am hoping his condition hasn't gotten worse, however I would really like some answers.
I am no longer getting a response from his phone or email.

Thanks,
Jay

Thats a long time to wait for something, have they offered a refund or a reason why the delay?

I sent and basic inquiry today re: a swap and I got and response within a few hours...?....?

He’s advertising on craigslist in my area. Not terribly confidence inspiring....? I like the idea of a turbo diesel swap but his kit...? Now I wonder why?

I apologize for not updating this thread, but I did get my kit and actually started and drove the truck a little bit for the first time last Wednesday! Woohoo!

I think TDSwaps was going through some growing pains along with some personal issues. I'm sure his response time will be much better in the future.

I had some serious health issues from being disabled,supplier and equipment problems and the Sema show to deal with and I'm the only employee,besides my girlfriend that I force to weld in the nude. I like to use Craigslist because it reaches the DIY guy,who doesn't have $15,000+ for a swap. I do as much as I can to keep costs down and if I have to pay for adds,then so does my customer. I want the avg Joe to be able to swap a diesel in thier rigs for 2k and give the finger to the guys dropping $15,000+ to have somebody else do their swap.I do this as a hobby to keep from dieing of boredom from being disabled and to help out the little guy,not to make my house payment. I have been working on improving my manufacturing process and inventory so there should be less problems in the future.

hey Brian. Please call me. I think your phone is, broken. You don't answer calls or text messages. The adapter you sold me is machined incorrectly the alignment dowels will not go in. I cannot redrill as tgis is critical and needs to be perfect. Also the 2 holes on the bottom for the w56 are not drilled and tapped. This must be one of the bad adapters you said your waterjet guy made. Again please call I dont know how else to get hold of you.
P.s. I also need the rest of the parts you said you were gonna send a few weeks ago.
Thanks Andre. Ill post pictures later

Thats the second person now that I have heard has screwed up parts or cant get them in time guess I might go with someone else on my adapter

Captain Jack

I spoke to him 5 or 6 weeks ago. He was getting married that Saturday. Have sent him a couple emails since with no answer. Hope all is well and she didn't kill him of on the honey moon.

I really am hoping the best for him. I planned a nice writeup. And will do so when he makes this right. Im in a real pinch here. I spent alot of money . Im just glad I got a spare bellhousing to mock up our I'd really be screwed

Tried getting ahold of him through email an calling still waiting to hear back trying to order my kit asap

drayday55

I was able to make contact with Brian through email. He is shipping a new trans adapter plate and the remainder of my parts on Monday. Ill be doing a mock up before install Ill get some photos and documentation. Anyone do this swap with crossover/ hi steer? Want to know what to expect with tie-rod/draglink clearances. No body lift

drayday55

Hey Brian, I left a few messages again. Were you able to ship my parts on Monday?

drayday55

Update people. Looks like im getting strung along like a idiot. I was told my parts were to be shipped 2 mondays ago. I atempted to contact brian the whole week and he never got back to me until out of the blue he dialed my number hung up and when I returned his call he texted back that he couldn't answere because he was at the dr. Then he wrote that he did not remember my address and that his wife was suppose to ship the parts and messed up. He said he would get to the bottom of it but he never did. I called 10 times. Texted a lot! And here I sit with an adapter I cannot use. So I wasted money on his kit. A motor that I cannot use. Money to redo the head and gasket. A flywheel and countless small items. Be warned people. His m.o. is to string you along. im sure hes sending his new batch to people who are currently paying. Being that I paid him over a year im sure im insignificant to him now and I understand he needs to keep the bills paid but this sucks! Brian I hope you see this. I have been plenty patient. I even offered more money wtf!
