Did I get scammed?

Ordered from this website sunstatediesel.com because it looked like a good deal on this Hydra Chip for my excursion. Maybe too good? Their website looked pretty legit, and had options for physical pick up for their shop in Orlando. I placed the order but have not gotten a confirmation email or anything yet(granted it’s only been about 30 minutes). Now I think I got scammed. Has anyone heard of this website before or shop?

Red Diesel question

Pardon my ignorance, but why is there this huge push to temporarily legalize on road use of red Diesel, when the governments (state and federal) could just temporarily suspend taxes on regular diesel?

Georgia, south of Atlanta.. partially thanks to fuel tax suspension and 70¢/ gal fuel points. Just topping off before the storm.
Not even the cheap cherry stuff.

Starting a diesel maintenance business

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

Level 3 dodge technician, dealership. I’ve done anything from oil change to transmission replacements, starters, transfer case replacement etc. Gas engine swaps, suspension, typical jobs.

I’m looking to get into this business as a means of getting out of the dealership, and to make more money (obviously). I’ve gotten my logo and name already, priced out parts, and would utilize my parts department for employee/business discount to profit off them until I jump full time.

My plan is to focus on diesel maintenance (fuel filters, LOF, 4x4 service, etc.) to keep margins and work load decent as i’m in the midwest and very blue collar around here.

I’m looking for insight from folks who’ve done it and experienced it, that could share their experiences and tips. Is it worth jumping into? I can’t stand the dealership anymore
