So you're saying you would prefer "Hi guys, we made a new part. Don't worry, your original has no chance of breaking so don't be scared. We just made this part just because. Please buy." When they or anyone comes in telling everyone to hurry and tear down their engine before it self destructs, you might have a valid point. Otherwise, come on dude
Stop, dude....No, what might work better (for me as a consumer) is not coming in saying the same parts that are on the F-150s running e85 and I've not seen any issues reported, are now turning to mush so buy our new part. But instead, say: "Hey, we've got an upgraded part that is not made out of plastic, is stronger and will hold up better under <enter load, or whatever>.
I'm not saying that MMR is a hack company....I've just seen enough of there post that, like it or not, come across as a scare tactic in sales. I'm not a fan....
You should also pay attention to other posts in those threads as well. Not long ago a lower billet gear became available by MMR. Same posts just like yours coming up. Because people had never heard of it, that meant it didn't exist. Until vendors slowly started saying that had also broken them. One vendor claiming to break 3 of them on his engine alone. So what I'm getting at is guys who do it EVERY day, might have a bit more insight on the matter. And it might go over a bit better to ask questions instead of assuming your average coyote owners experience of 1 car, is probably not the end all of what you need to know.
You're making a lot of assumptions here.
But I'm game....has anyone answered the question that was posted about the F-150s and their track record of failure running Flex Fuel? If I missed it I apologize. But if the parts are the same (as someone else posted)....failures?
Better yet if you don't believe it, just don't buy it lol
I didn't say that the part was crap and no one should buy it. My point is that MMR has a history, in my eyes, of posting scare tactic sales when new parts come out. Obviously since others have mentioned that they've noticed it as well....I'm clearly not the only one to feel this way.
Again, back to the example of the F-150s....same part....what failures are they having running flex fuel?
At face value it seems like a nice part to upgrade if you're in there and building a motor. But considering there are a LOT of folks out there running e85 and there does not seem to be a mass failure rate (correct me if I'm wrong), the sales pitch seems a bit over the top IMO.
Anyways....my thoughts. I'm not going to sit on here and debate it any further.
Take care.
