You know what they say about the squeaky wheel...

Depends on who’s saying it!

I think the price for the tint on the windshield depends on the product used and location.

The guy I use charges $195 for the Ceramic film on the windshield but it blocks 99% of uvA and uvB rays and like 60% of the heat.

Of course this is Florida and it is HOT so tint is popular and almost mandatory.

This is a quote for ceramic film. He uses the best stuff and his work is always perfect.

Need to look into this. I had someone do my tints and they charged me $120 to do all of the side windows. Didn’t do the rear glass to keep police from pulling me over. I think it was ok job.

perfect

Local guy charged me $260 to do the front two and strip on the front window on the Yukon (Too high IMO). Same guy has done my wife and moms accord. Never the same pricing schedule. I think these tint guys price based on bills for the week...

So I decided to give BT Dieselworks one more try. I sent an email with the subject of “WTF” and went into detail the fact it’s been 6 weeks, I have emailed back in the original order email from them with no reply, a phone call and message left with no reply, and another email in a separate chain with no reply. I mentioned the fact that I am documenting this in some forums in my build threads and there are potential customers watching. Guess what? I got a return email yesterday (Saturday) from Ben Tyler himself who said he hasn’t seen any emails from me, and asked if I bought the programming from White Audio Media. So again, it’s a WTF. I copied and pasted all my prior emails and the email from them with the order confirmation and am awaiting his response. It seems like you have to threaten these companies with a bad reputation in order to get service anymore. It’s getting bad out there imo.

Wow. Wtf indeed. That’s BS. Let us know what he says. That’s not the kind of company I want anything to do with.

Well. BT Dieselworks sent the tune today and apologized. He said he applied a discount for the wait. But he also said I need to send it to my tuner to authorize it so I can load it through my Autocal so I forwarded the email to BB. Funny thing is, I can’t find a charge from them in the first place.
Edit: never mind. I found the charge in my Paypal account on 6/19 using cash I had in there, which fooled me because it usually pulls money from my checking account. So now I’ll wait to see what discount he applied, I don’t see anything yet.

 

[Rocket Man]

Well now. What an adventure. Communication wasn’t the best at first but BT did get back to me twice today and helped me out. I sent the file to BB for them to authorize it, whatever that meant. I got it back in one day (today) and Shannon said “try this”. So I copied it into my Autocal, went to the truck and tried it. I got error codes. So I emailed BB with the issues and Shannon said they would have to get ahold of the tuner (BT?) and that BCM’s can’t normally be tuned with an Autocal. Pfft. I emailed BT with this info and they said it needs to be done on my laptop with the Autocal as a pass-thru device. So I tried that. I tried a full flash and it said nope, can only do a cal-flash so I tried that. It said nope, my BCM needs to be licensed first. So I went in to check the license and it said nope, I need to license it before it can be checked. I looked and there was one available TCM slot open ( not BCM slot, but this part was in BT’s instructions) So I was able to license the BCM, then I was able to Cal-Flash the BCM. And there we go. No more hyper flash. Lane change blinks five times instead of 3. No more DRL. Nice. Still waiting to see how much I get refunded and I have no idea why my order was lost and my first emails not returned but ever since he finally got back to me, the service has been great.

Congrats on finally getting closure on that chapter. Thanks for the update!

I have done some research on BT Dieselworks and my issue with no contact from them for 6 weeks is pretty common. The diesel forums and his Facebook account both have guys who try to contact him for sometimes months with nothing. So beware. I did get mine but I had to threaten him with a bad rep in the forums. Everybody says he does awesome work that nobody else does but his people skills are nonexistent and his customer service are nonexistent as well. Too bad, it’s an awesome product. He has some other unique products too. But once I got his attention he has been on it. I emailed him back to say I got the programming done but don’t see any credit on my PP and he got back to me again and said the tail end of a hurricane hit them and he lost power. I think he’s in Connecticut so it’s probably Isaias. He said he will send a credit tomorrow.

I finally got like $15 back from BT Dieselworks a few days later. Anyway I keep losing the stupid cap off the spare tire hoist thing and I have no need for it so I cut a piece of plastic and fit it in place of it. I kind of f’ed it up so I’ll probably buy a new center trim piece and cut it out on my bench where it’s easier to work on, or find something else to go there. I have been looking at ‘14 bumpers anyway so I’ll probably go that route in time, probably leave this until then.

NJ is a bit further away....

 

[kbuskill]

It’s ok from 5 feet lol.

I always figured if they were close enough to see little imperfections like that they were too close to my vehicles.

I used to say if they are looking that close I could kick em in the ass and get em closer...
