How long will it take

**obiwan** · 11-16-2005, 10:03 PM

I thought maybe some of you would want to humor me and play the waiting game with me.

As most of you know my engine went post tosties from running too lean, I made arrangements to have the engine replaced with a built up motor.

Dropped the Magnum off on 9/26, initial agreement with them was 1 week, I offered them 3 weeks, thats right three times what they asked for.

Now its been 7 weeks going on 8. Thought maybe it would be fun to have a little poll on when you guys think I'll get my Magnum back?

I'll play. Four more weeks. Hate to say it and I hope I'm wrong. Best of luck in making me wrong.

**SoCal_Magnum** · 11-16-2005, 10:52 PM

I'm in. 2 weeks! It's been 8, give them 2...call it 10. 10 weeks is more than enough time to do a full engine replacement, I don't care what kind of car you have.

New one on me, under warranty right??
They are "building up" an engine for how much more??

Its like the movie "Money Pit" with Tom Hanks. Every time they asked the contractor how long ..his answer was always 2 weeks. Seems reasonable. Good luck

just start removing a $1000 of there pay for every week over...you'll have it tomarrow.

if i can ask, what was the final reason decided that your car leaned out to much? mishap, bad tune, etc?

**Hurst Equipped** · 11-16-2005, 11:39 PM

yeah, like in the movie 'money pit'

TWO WEEKS......

2 weeks

so, I imagine the vendor who sold ya the item that caused the dammage is paying for the swap and making your car payment while your out a car?
I sure hope so. Otherwise, they wouldn't be doin any more bidness with us, now would they?

**COLORADOMAGNUM** · 11-17-2005, 12:42 AM

I voted one week. Hopefully it will be any day now!!!

**XCITsNU** · 11-17-2005, 12:43 AM

Ah, ya. I'm seriously doubting that one Grinner. If they are, I say they'de want everyone to know how they were taking care of things. I'd also say that if they are paying and made a certain someone agree to a non-disclosure, then I would say that they are hiding something and are trying to avoid future precedence. Either way it's not a good situation. Actually somewhat of a disturbing situation any way you look at it and any way you speculate about it.

I agree with you there man, they are totally responsible for the early demise of Obi's hemi. I hope they are doing the right thing even if it is taking way longer than it should.
