Never had an issue with John or his transmission, of course I am a low horsepower reverse manual kinda guy...LOL. Been to his old shop numerous times, and finally got to his new shop a couple months ago. He is very busy which means he has lots of customers, that speaks volumes. I have been in the Mopar game for 42 years now, met lots of great people and lots of a$$holes, found mainly how you treat people is how you will be treated...
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Seems to have a nice line of products. He would have had a few thou of my money by now if he would have gotten back to me on some questions I had for him.

OK , im going to say it again, why bash people like this. Again this is a small business and the guy cant stay on the phone all day.... ITs got to be so hard to run/produce a product and work the phone at the same time. YES i had an experience with COPE. At the time i had exploded a 727 and called him for advise/possible purchase. He was honest and explained to me that the T400 was actually a better trans for what i was going to do. NOW I KNOW THE MOPAR COMMUNITY WILL HAVE A MELTDOWN OVER THAT>>>>> but it is what it is. He explained to me that he could build a 727 that would live, but it would be more vulnerable in terms of sprag breakage with a small tire no wheelie bar car over a similar built t400. He is the on that directed me to Rossler. The man was easy to talk to and gave me some great advice. AND he made no sale.
Again, give these guys a break. The smaller businesses , they have some real challenges facing them (Covid19). YES i know customer service is number one, but in the racing specialty parts market, you need to have a balance and sometimes the product IS more important than the service. You just have to be patient Bashing because he is putting crap out there has nothing to do with being a small business. Can't put the right parts in a tranny? Seriously???? And then cop an attitude????

Yup, pretty much sums things up with John. I believe one of his last statements to me was something about being a good Christian something or other. I'm not a religious person, but the hypocrisy of the statement, after lying to me about my issues was ridiculous, to the least. Sad to hear that it wasn't just me. Jim.

I've known John for a long time, only done business with him once, and that was through a vendor. I will not comment one way or the other.
However, if you want a really great product from someone who won't give you an attitude, call Keith Long-727specialists- 219/718-3542 You won't be sorry.

I have heard there is now someone else answering the phone. I know his son answered a few times in the past, and he blamed the mistakes in my tranny on his “employee”. Jim.
