Years ago I bought my 3.55 gear set from him. I called him a couple weeks ago seeking a new push rod to replace one of my bent ones. He remembered me and sent me a couple of them free of charge. Not allowing him to feel too good about his gesture, I sent him some greenback to say thanks to help cover the postage.

Patrick and his son are as honest as is possible. If anyone ever has any negative feelings about any purchase/dealing with Patrick, call him and talk with him calmly and coolly. He will always make good on any aspect of his dealings with you.

I can't remember his son's name, but he seemed to be a cool character. Lot's of salty language though. I wear big boy pants, and not little girl panties, so it was alright.

I called for some advice once. They were more than forthcoming, especially since I wasn't buying anything at the time. Some vendors don't want to talk to you, unless you're buying something.

When I first wrote him with a question he replied by phoning me. First time that has happened with any vendor. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I have not needed to buy anything from him. But when I need something I know where to go.

Dirty gurty, you need to look into them. They are good people.


On time I was doing work in casa grande and came across their yard byistake. They allowed me to walk around their boneyard and were very kind when a young punk kid asked so many questions. I have spoke to his son numerous times and his name skips my memory right now. They always ask, "do you have a catelog?"

I plan to get a rear gear set from them soon.

It's always nice when you find a good business. We have several very good businesses locally here in Cleburne. I'm always keeping an eye out for other people to do business with. I'm also thinking of regearing my truck. Right now I have 4.56 gears I'm thinking about 4.10 or 3.90 gears. I'll keep Patrick's in mind should I decide to buy a new gearset.

There are no new higher gear sets for your truck. Search the Driveline forum to see what others have done.

I called Patricks for help locating an engine - didn't know if he could but I thought I'd try - he put me right on it.

I'd say his business model is straight up, trustworthy.

Even though there was no "sale" made - he took the time to tell me a joke that only a Cajun could understand..2 Poodles and a Mutt.
