Bruce, the Roddney Daggerfield of trannies!
"i may even have more experience than your protégé mr toelle"
It is just not in you to be the least bit respectful, is it?
First you got it backwards, if there is any ”protégé” here it would be that I'm a protégé of Bruce's. But I'm not, I've just benefited in my 2004R rebuilds from his good original information created by trial and error at his expense which he was providing long before your arrival on this board--BC, you know. Unknowingly you've paid Bruce an appropriate complement>>protégé=one who is trained or whose career is furthered by a person of experience, prominence, or influence. Maybe subliminally you want to be nice.
"if this is how you make yourself feel important than have a good time"
I think even the most causal reader of this board knows who is trying to derive importance and revenue from this board. You’re just in denial.
"items pay high dividends to those who execute their plan correctly"
I handled several market research projects into business methods and plans that clearly reveal giving stuff away for free is a flawed strategy without lasting benefit. If that's your business plan have at it, the business world is littered with defunct brands that went down that path. I was online when your gave away the outlaw forward drum but asking for would have been like stealing from Bruce.
"at 32 years old in the business since 84 i may even have more experience than your protégé mr toelle"
Ahhh, youthful bravado! Bruce's background and experience is on his website for the entire world to see, where is yours? His R&D expenditures, experiences and numbers are also on his website, where's your third-party test data? But it is impressive that you were in this business at 13 years of age—took you a long time to get going. BTW, hold down the shift key to make one capital letter at a time.
"IT SEEMS YOU GENTLEMAN ONLY CAN SPEAK WITH YOUR FACES HIDDEN BEHIND THE COMPUTER SCREEN "
As I'm always trying to learn new methods, especially as it relates to computers, how are you posting? Did you have something implanted? And, BTW, all caps is yelling--turn off the caps lock—oh, gentlemen is the plural form. You may yell at home but please, not on the TB board.
As for my experience, which you have questioned several times, I was building winning cars out of my shop three years before you were born, cops did not even have radar. I've been to FL to meet with Smokey about his flow bench and dyno designs, which I crudely replicated with his PERMISSION--now there's a guy who had class. I sold my machine shop when you were 12 and went on to the R&D side of things but you've still got a few years yet before you've had grease under your fingernails as long as I have. In fact, I was building Power Glides and trying to heat treat internal parts in a kitchen stove before you were born--before the aftermarket trannie companies made it easy.
Most of what I did has long been replaced by technological advances by folks who invested their own money and time--pioneers like Bruce. So, spew more bile if you will, that's your nature--which reminds me, since you like parables, read the one about the scorpion and the frog and find yourself.
Bruce, you're a pioneer but this little episode just lends more credence to the old adage--The pioneers got all the arrows while the settlers and squatters got all the land.
I don't blame most checking this thread for not stepping down into the mud but I for one appreciate Bruce and the other TB moderators that REALLY keep this board going. It’s the best on the web! Lately I've just had difficulty taking the bad with the good.
One last thing about AODs in GMs, maybe you’ve done more out-of-family transmission-to-motor swaps than I have but maybe not, I certainly did them before you were around, the number is unimportant. Everyone I’ve ever done or collaborated on whether totally hand made or with an aftermarket kit left something to be desired and kept giving ongoing headaches. The only productive use I ever found for Fords was to go get the GM parts for the really neat cars!
'cuse me for leaving, but I'm late for work.

Tom said he had a lengthy conversion with you and "you know your ****"
Can't wait to test it out
Thanks a million!
