John was hard to get a hold of when I bought mine, it took a day or two and then finally he answered and I got my converter and have had no problems with it yet.



Sorry to hear your not having such good luck. I'm sure its was just like throwing fuel on your fire because its the last thing on your project and then it would've been done, had you had received it.


How did you pay????if paypal can't you report them to paypal...

Failing goes i am only commenting on when i TC failures and stuff the most common one i see is Fuddle hell in that link beastmode posted there are a coupple of replies baout the quality of their TC's and the failures ..I rarely se a thread about a Yank or PI TC failing ....it happens ofcourse all have some bad ones but i dont see it nearly as often...

have i personally experienced this with Fuddle? Nope and are there memebrs that love thier Fuddle TC? yeah i know there is...my point is when i research something before i buy it and i see a product hardly anyone recommends i know there is a reason for it.

IMO it doesnt matter if thier TC's are the best out there if their customer service is crap IMO so is their product..
exactly...internet is a wonderful place you can learn from other ppls experiences. with the countless hours of reading you can gather on tech and here youll find ppl having bad experiences with certain manufactors. cause of their experiences thats why you dont follow them. if you keep following them and not learning then you just didnt learn from other ppls mishaps. I gathered enough and seen a few first hand not ot ever run a TCI, Fuddle converter. I learned that PI is the best and Yank coming up behind....with a converters you get whaty ou pay for

Bill, if you can't get your money back, and that convertor actually does come, post up a link to your paypal account. We could all chip in a tenspot or a twenty or whatever until you've saved up 675 dollars. Then put that convertor on ebay, along with the story about, "If you're looking for a Fuddle convertor, here ya go, but their customer service sucks!" Then after it sells, donate the money to breast cancer research or the Make a Wish Foundation or whatever charity you like. Keep the tax receipt for your troubles. Now we've spread the word about Fuddle to a base of people broader than our little community, made someone else's life a bit better, and you're not stung with the $675 hit. Maybe after it all goes down, people will think twice about ******* over the good members of performancetrucks.net. What does everyone say? I wouldn't mind chipping in a few bucks.

no Owen.. there will be no need to do that, I believe I have the other one or the Fuddle sold already... I had a fall back plan incase this happened. Thanks anyways though... its good to see ppl actually care unlike some.


Unfortunately I didn no pay pal him... I used a money order per Johns request. and for those of you who keep saying you get what you pay for... I payed exactly what a Fuddle cost for this converter... $675... which is what a SS3600 would have went for, I went with a Fuddle though cause that is the converter used in the setup I am copying

isnt the SS3600 a YANK? I am thiunking it is but either way most will agree PI is the best TC out there but most I think will also agree that for the price a YANK goes for its handsdown the best for the money depending of course how radical of a TC you get..mine was like 525 shipped and a similar PI is 800-900 bucks

Ive had no less then 4 of his converters in my truck and two of them failed, I put one in a buddies SSS and it failed after about 15K miles, one of the failed converters in my truck didnt lock up from the beginning, the other failed after a bunch of 4hi launches with my 418. His product is JUNK for our trucks. In a phone convo with Howard about a year and a half ago he was suprised that the converter I sent him was speced for a truck it was suppose to be for the fbodys. If you notice most of the failing Fuddles are in 4wds that cant put the power to the ground thus more stress on the converter, alot of the 2wds seem to be fairing better. Just my .02 if this site really cared about its members they would revoke his sponsorship but the almighty dollar is very powerful so I wont hold my breathe.

Why don't you go ahead and hold your breath. Your $.02 ain't worth what it used to be...........with the falling dollar and all!!!

Fuddle is not a sponsor here but, I am leaving this thread up for people in the future to see feedback on them.
