just some suggestions

I agree 100%... I would love to see some testing on these parts. Its hard to push an agenda with factual numbers. For instance the SD control arms... their craftsmanship is AMAZING and if they made them for my truck I would have them in a heartbeat. I would like to see how the AIM control arms craftsmanship stacks up to others. If you could maintain your same product line yet produce things not necessary cheaper then the next guy but of a higher quality then I think a lot of companies would have some serious competition. In most cases quality>price.

i am very tempted to buy your bags to compare to my dominators but i know im not as well equipped as doug to handle that kind of test. you may have seen his thread on the s10 forum when those bags came out and he has good words for them.
my dominators are excellent and i would look forward to seeing if yours are the same or better as you claim them to be.
my aim story: i had valves(manifold) that were bad but i didnt install a watertrap, and i went over 200psi so i cant say for certain that the valves were bad or what. the fittings were a joke many leaked and a few broke when i tried replacing them. i gave the manifold away to some kid so he could take them apart but he couldnt ever get them to work right.
i have never had an smc valve or fitting fail. i have had ode, gc, and valves give me trouble over 400 psi though.
kudos on the effort but its going to take a lot to earn peoples trust. however, if your quality seems like it goes up to par with your competitors, your prices are hard to beat.

So Joe how doyou feel about Doug Dehaven doing indepedent testing on your products, he is a very well trusted and respected name in the S-10 community, and we all know how many s-10s there are in the mintruckin world

OK,one more... I have no problem whatsoever so long as Doug has an independent agenda. Doug?

I am waiting for you will all due respect. What products do you wish to see? I encourage any objective reviews for the world to see.

Thank you, and Good Night,





Joe,

I will let my reputation speak for itself here. You can research my name until you are Blue in the face DJDAudio DJDLaboratories and Doug DeHavenyou fill find I am always 100% Fair and un Biased. If a product has a fault I will show it. if it has strong points I will show them as well!

You know I have been trying to test one of your 'DC' Line of compressors ever since 06/14/2005 over 3 years now. haha

One thing worth pointing out I have been with Air Zenith for years now and I have never let that sway my decision in anything I have reviewed. Again I will let me reputation speak to that.

If you have any questions please let me know. You have my E-mail from the past.

In Closing, Joe I ask you will you as well be fair to me? If I happen too find fault in the product I am testing would I be allowed to post those results?

Personally I`ve never had a single problem with AIM. Me and about 3 of my friends all dealt with them and had the DC 5000 compressors and they were all fkng tanks! We never had any problems out of them. I had bought a set of AIM`s tubular upper and lowers for my 1990 Chevy f/s 2500 and they worked awesome. Went in like the stocks came out.

joe, has your company ever had a shop truck? a display vehicle showcasing your products? I don't recall ever seeing, or atleast one that was advertised, I know matt petro (sp?) is in your ads but I mean a full on show vehicle? Or what about your employees are they involved in any custom vehicle culture? just curious.Cheeks,We have had several over the past years and 3 Truckin Cover Trucks on my watch. Currently we are building a full body drop S10 with the newest evolution of the Street Scraper, and it will be at SEMA. Earlier in the year I said I was not going to SEMA. I changed my mind and we will be in the South Hall in the same section as AVS.

Thank you

Jon, I want to thank you for your courage and honest reporting. it has been many years since we have had any issues of substance, other that we will look at our return policies and shipping issues, and IN THE NEXT WEEK, we will consider the changes as requested by the community.

It is nice to hear honest postings such as yours. Bad news travels x100, but good news is x 1, and a lot of the members do not have the courage to post positive things because of not wanting to get blasted by the hate mongers.

Thank you so much!

I like how the positive posts get labeled as "honest reporting" and everything else is hearsay or bashing.

Just a thought........Carry on.

Joe, That was my post, and it got deleted when they cleaned it up. I hope you didn't take it the wrong way, I was just stating that it was great that you are here and clearing things up, I was ranting that I felt it was turning into a different thread than it started and was veering off path, but the Moderators cleared it up just in time. Thank you.

BTW, did you recieve my last couple emails?

-Thanks, Chad AndersonThank you Chad. Travis will see you at the factory today.

I am ready. I do not know Doug De Haven and I have no concerns about our product stacking up. Someone be kind enough to put me in touch with Doug, assuming he has time for this.

Thank you for your post,
