This is just a theory of mine.  I'm suspicious that Steve Wynne and
DMC/Texas are in business as a hobby.  How else could they afford to buy
the
KAPAC inventory and have it shipped to Texas to a new state-of-the-art
warehouse/repair facility?  If I had a few million sitting around, I would
do the same.

Yes, but not on all accounts.  PJ Grady had already ran out of their
supply
of HCR replacement angle drive gears.  I don't know the full story behind
it, but I do know that for the past several months that angle drives have
been very hard to get.

I don't blame DMC/Texas for competing with the TankZilla.  Many owners
never
could afford a fuel sender until DMC/Texas came out with an affordable
alternative.  Both brands have their issues.  If cost isn't a
consideration,
I tend to like the Zilla better AFTER some of the holes in it are plugged
to
soften the fluctuations and AFTER the machining defects on top are sealed
and AFTER the gasket is replaced with a material that will hold up better.

But then they compete on seemingly unnecessary things like key blanks,
fuel
suction hoses and other items.  The DMC/Texas blanks look most accurate to
OEM but may not be as indestructible as the PJ Grady variety.

I'm in this has a hobby, too.  So for the fun of it I try to patronize all
the vendors.  The more I talk with people, the more I hear of really
terrible experiences with all the vendors.  They all have their fan clubs
and hate clubs.
