mod. for HPOP
First and foremost I like to think of myself as a people person. And I don't have "fair weather" friends. Friends are the most valuable thing you can have in this world next to your family. And I NEVER take a friend for granted. So if you are friends with me, your stuck with me for life. LOL
Next, every opportunity I have, I go above and beyond to try and help people that need it from me. I don't half azz anything. Even if it means I have to suffer for it.
And last, these days, honesty and integrity are hard to come by. And it seem like a man's word means less and less in todays world. So with that, I will go out of the way to prove that my word still DOES mean something. Again, even if I come up on the short end of the deal, I'll stick to my word. And if for some reason I can't, I make dam sure you know why, and the first thing on my mind is how to make it up to you.
I realize this is a long winded answer for what could have been a plain ole "LOL". But you asked, and I wanted to give you the correct answer. And honestly, the key to all my contacts and "in's".......is communication, period. The thing you gotta remember, all these people that run companys like DIY-Injectors, DP-Tuner, Terminator Engineering, Valair Clutch, Swamps, Beans, DI, WOP, and all the way down to your local parts store.........They are just people, and people like 4 things, Respect, money, a good reputation and a laugh. And you can't exchange any of that unless you talk to them. So instead of wondering, or taking someones word for it, I make that contact. They are normal people and even if you are the newest of the newbys, they WANT to talk to you. They want the opportunity to make you a life customer, and or friend. And I open the door so that can happen. And when it does, I don't take it for granted. I hope that makes sense.
But there is an extremely easy answer if you want great contacts in life....
If it's a woman your talking to, address her first with respect, and then make here feel like she's the smartest, funniest, best looking woman in the world. Even if she clearly is not. And I don't mean make her feel like your a sexist pig. Respect
If it's a man you are talking to, address him first with respect, and then make him feel like he's the smartest, funniest guy, and has the coolest toys/tools/stuff in the world, even if yours is waaaaay cooler. And above all with a guy, NEVER screw up his story with one you think is better. Don't be that guy that that's done it harder, faster, longer and better than anyone. If you have, those things will prove themselves and you'll rarely have to tell a story. And when that time comes, they will be on the edge of their seat.
And when none of that stuff works, just do something completely stupid and off the wall so they remember your name. LOL Sorry for the long answer.
Joey is a great guy and will help all he can. Just send in a pump and he will mod it for you. Huck's pump was worn out but Jody fixed it and modded it for the same price as well. Great customer service. He modded my pump and shipped it the same day he received it. Just get in touch with him he will help you out. He hangs out in another forum quite a bit. PM me if you want to know which one. I don't want to post it here.

I have a lot of friends in lots of places for lots of things. Just none really for diesels, thats all you guys.
Networking is what cody is talking about, and its the most important thing you can do.
And yes. If you cannot get any respect from them, do something stupid so they remember you. Thats the main thing, make them remember you. If you do something stupid, they will see you doing something respectful at some point, and they will remember you, and your in! Get it? Good.
Do it.
And laughter is one of the best tactics.

Looking at pump upgrade.
My biggest question on the upgraded pumps is.
Do they replace the journal bearings with Ball Bearings for the upgrades?
