Feel like slamming Lovecraft yet again?

Then post your comments here

These hacks get more undeserved viral advertising than anyone.

Search "Lovecraft" on this forum and you can find pages of reasons.

lovecraft is great

i had my '95 E300 Diesel converted by them and their system is superb.

granted I live in sunny San Diego, but Lovecrafts parts are great. I will admit that they are a bunch of border line hippies, but they are honest and have a great system for mercedes benz. I am a discerning enthusiast and have recommended many happy customers to them.

I doubt many people here would consider the people who run the Lovecrap business "honest".

I think you'll have a hard time finding somebody who agrees with you on that statement, at least in any Mercedes diesel enthusiasts forum.

Good luck, when your injectors look like this



And the car runs like crap...well it was the lovecrap that caused it.

I talked to someone who mentioned that an SDL was coked to death recently on lovecrap, anyone hear about this?

I drove by there today and there was even a Powerstroke Excursion in there... oh goody. They're going to be screaming when that rotary pump fails and the warranty is void.

Oh and by the way when I talked to Brian in person asking specific questions he was highly agitated.

They're not addressing longevity issues and covering it up with media spin and popularity becuase "it works"....just like lead based paint, asbestos, DDT, and CCl4.

That has unit injectors, not an injection pump.
