I See We Drove Banks Off As A Sponsor......

[RadarRider]

No, this isn't a "Banks Bashing" thread, it's actually quite the oposite. Most people on the .Org automatically start bashing Banks whenever a question is brought up or even if someone breaths the name "Banks" & the sad part is, I'll bet most of these people have NEVER used ANY Banks' product of any kind. They just go by whatever the next person says & before you know it, you've got a "buddy club" of bashers who have no idea of what they're talking about. I will admit, my Tony Wildman chip far surpasses whatever the Big Hoss module wishes it could do, but when it came to the hard parts I never had a problem, & Banks' techline had always helped me with any problem I had.

Yes; Banks for the most part is on the arrogant & conceited side as far as comparing his products to others.
Yes; Banks parts are on the expensive side. & Yes; those of us who have Banks equipment on our trucks would've really liked the luxury of logging on to the .Org & just thumbing down to the Banks threads to access their site easier. WHO CARES WHAT BANKS SAYS OR DOES ANYMORE? MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT BANKS EITHER GET BASHED & ARE TOLD TO GET THIS OR THAT INSTEAD OR ARE TOO AFRAID TO ASK-----PERIOD!!!

Most people who use Banks parts have heard every insult you could possibly imagine about Banks. Just think; every member who bashes Banks & tells them to get this or that instead, have you ever thought that everyone's truck is going to be the exact same??? Then you might as well call this a Mustang forum, because everytime you open a Mustang mag, they're almost ALL modified with the same crap: Paxton/Vortech supercharger, MSD, Flowmaster/Dynomax/BBK, AutoMeter, etc.etc. Pretty please.......everyone move on with the Banks bashing & get on with life. For all of us that had a question or just wanted to see about Banks parts, thanks for chasing Banks & JBarker away.

In no way, shape, or form am I saying I'm 100% Pro-Banks, but that's what I started off with & have no money to go further & I'm not going to start over. Even though I've got Banks parts on my truck, it still rolls coal, sounds like any other mean diesel with modified exhaust, & runs with some of the best of them. Now I have to go to the Banks site if I have any questions or need help instead of being able to contact JBarker for a quick response & get back to the .Org before anyone knows I'm gone.

That's pretty much it..........I feel better now.



& before this does turn into yet another Banks bashing free-for-all: don't even bother.....Like I said; I've heard EVERYTHING you could possibly think of about Banks. It doesn't even phase me. I already know what you're going to say before you say it, so don't bother blowing any steam this way......I could care less. I'm tired of the Banks/Edge/BullyDog shooting galleries. Good day!

I had not noticed that they left but you are right about people following along whether they have experience or not.

Do sponsorships ever need to be renewed?

I'm tired of the Banks bashing as well. I also love when people bash products that they have never had or tried. Some stuff works better for others. Guess it's just human nature to always have something negative to say about anything. Just look at commets on youtube.

I don't think I ever bashed banks stuff. I most likely have recommended something else that either is equal to or better. The stuff I recommend is also priced a lot more friendly too.

I will be a man and admit to bashing stuff I havent tried (not Banks). I will work on that!

I remember in the old IDI days, banks was the shiznit, and if you had banks stickers on your truck you were the man. I put a banks kit on my 93 shortly before i sold it, and couldn't complain one bit about it. But i will say that my dislike of Banks these days comes from the price, and alot of it is from actual banks owners, most of them think their poo doesn't stink, and think they are the bomb because they have a tuner and large stickers on their trucks. So, is it right for us to bash banks? yes and no. I know the bashing i do is mostly in jest.....referring to the whole sticker situation.....my usual response is to say banks is not bad, but alot of people have found just as good if not better stuff for a better price elsewhere.
