Anyone have any experience with a transfer case built by George? I have one here that supposedly has one of his 5 pinion billet planetary sets in it. Guess I'll be cracking it open this weekend..........

well seeing that almost nobody has found any of the billet internal parts that they paid for in their transmissions- it doesn't look good that you will end up having a billet internal for your Tcase

now most vendors that beat people had to be honest at some point in their business to get people to buy from the beginning- as bad of a name keith mease has in all of the communities- the guy did amazing work and knew his stuff befor he beat people for money

so if your tcase was built by him from when he started doing business on here- you have a better chance of seeing billet when you crack it open.

Re: George Blake

Thats too bad so many got burned on their trannys. Even in the stock trans world. Merchant bank told me one of highest chargeback businesses they process was transmission shops. Wonder why. Perhaps thinking its easy to hide what can't be seen.
I have a 6K glide. Didn't work. Was built by a famous trans guru in the north. Took it to a reputable shop in Ca. Maybe most honest trans guy I have met to date. Repaired it. Showed me the issues. Dynoed it for me. He built me a 700 for my Ty also. Really only needed a stock trans for it. But had boxes and boxes of new and upgraded HD parts that came with the TY and its trans in a bigger box. Debating to build another 700 for my other SY or go with the 4L80e.
Decisions.
Been around the performance arena for well over 20 years. Seen many things happen. This Blake case is small potatoes compared to some. Still doesn't make it right by any fashion. A endless circle that won't end anytime soon.

Re: George Blake

There was a "Performance Shop" here a few years back that did a similar thing. When he closed his doors finally, and some of the local asian gangs lost thier money on thier rockets, they found out where he lived. His defense was "It was Elite Motorsports that screwed you, I just owned and headed the shop up."

People are stupid. I can't believe that he woudl even say something like that.

Code what?
I recently took apart a 700 that came out of a 10 sec truck. Parts inside where Blake's best stuff supposedly. Trans was hurt, Blake didn't build it but his parts recipe inside was a rip off. The input drum and output shaft where just stock units. 5 gear planets where the cheap aftermarket's that are not worth the stock originals. I'm glad I didn't send him any money for shit. Speaking of money hungry assholes, remember hotrodv6?

Re: George Blake

It sucks hearing all this bad stuff about Blake. When I had him rebuild my (stock-ish) trans, it worked out pretty well. http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=18169 That was a stock build nearly 10 years ago though, so maybe that was before he "turned" or whatever. I gave him my trans while he was up here helping someone install their trans.

I'm not doubting any of the evidence that's been posted in this thread, but it just seems so different from the guy I met a few times back then. It just sucks no matter how you look at it.
