rockford racecraft byebye

I never thought he would sell my truck, but I would love to know where my original block is and where all the parts I paid for went. Maybe they are part of that sale. Maybe I can get an in store credit for what he owes me to go shopping at the sale.

Block numbers do not match the VIN.

Look up your truck on sportmachines.com the block number "may" be listed there.

the last 8 of the VIN is stamped onto the block , sometimes the trans doesnt have the VIN but a sequence number thats logged on the build sheet, but the block always has the VIN its the law

Re: rockford racecraft byebye

You guys are crazy thinking that he would sell a customers truck or something. he has helped me with my Camaro and my Typhoon with no problems over the years. I've known Guy for prolly 10 years. there may have been some bad business deals here and there on this forum for some reason or another, but he is not selling engines or whole trucks that belong to a customer. He told me on the phone today that only tools, lifts, welders ect. and un paid for new parts were for sale. he said hes in the process of getting customers to pick up the trucks. I'll be down there tomorrow most likely to see about buying some of his tools and equipment.

Dude - have you read any of the stories on here?

I'm sorry but the "craz"y guys on here are the ones I trust, know, respect and believe. He may once or twice have looked out for you (is your wife hot and cheating with him behind your back?) but mmightyb got out by the skin of his teet, still with the wrong block, 10 years or fees paid, missing parts and a f***ing bird's nest in his engine bay.

Many others experienced worse treatment.

Rockford Racecraft deserved to go down, many people did not deserve to be treated how they were.

Re: rockford racecraft byebye

Steve can identify what bird did that.

:rotf: Indeed...it is Turdus migratorius...(I didn't make that up)...the American Robin. And destroying the nest is a federal offense according the migratory bird treaty act of 1932 (fortunately, there are no bird police to enforce such a thing...).

No consolation to a very sad situation, but at least the bird is American! :usa:

I've read the stories and they are stories, true or not ture....i dont know the person posting and i dont know what truth there is to any of it. i do know that i have hung out at the shop and known Guy for 10 years and the work that has been done on my vehicles was perfect no problems. local friends cars were completed perfectly. I know what i have seen with my own eyes. i personally never seen any problems. what is on this forum is just text on an internet page and i dont know anyone on here personally. i wasnt there to witness any bad deals ever. so thats why i would stick up for Guy in most situations.

I have looked at my original engine block is it stamped with my VIN not the engine sequence number on Sportmachines/PAS documents.

 

[mmightyb]

This block does have appear to have a VIN stamped on it..just not mine. I will check it again and post what is stamped. Maybe the original owner is on this forum.

Well, guess you're just gonna have to trust the word of people who have been on here a lot longer than you and telling their stories for YEARS. Do you think they are blowing smoke, because that's what you're implying above.

And during your ten years there, did you ever question what the red Typhoon (and others) were doing "over there in the corner" virtually untouched for a decade??? :dunno:

Re: rockford racecraft byebye

Here is the stamp on the block I got (TN0811707). Anybody know who has truck 1707?

 

[TNPhoon]

Re: rockford racecraft byebye

Guru's:
Would that be the VIN of the truck or the "engine sequence" number of the truck?
92 # 1722 has the "Engine Sequence" listed as 1707.

http://sportmachines.com/members/truckind.php?truckid=6491

EDIT: Guessing that is the VIN number considering it has the "081" before the last 4.

There is always a chance the previous owner had already swapped motors before you bought the truck (it was 8 years old when you bought it) or it could have got swapped at RR. Some shops don't care about matching numbers.

I bought a Syclone transmission, the owner had it rebuilt and thought it was the original Syclone transmission from his truck. When I got it, the numbers said it was a Syclone transmission but its not his original transmission, it was from a truck in FL.
