When do we get to quit hearing this same story beat into the ground. 95% of the RAM horror stories come from the same source. I'm starting to think that RAM didn't like you and wanted to sabotage you. I think they purposely sent you dud engines. Why is it you always seem to show up on these RAM post? Just so you can tell your story again?
Its very easy to get on here and slam Rei and Alberts products now that they are gone. What good does it do? Things are in place to take care of RAM products and customers. I think it would be more constructive to talk about problems and solutions here. Why is it so easy for people to come on the internet and tell stories of past, but none of present. You very rarely here of problems being vocalized of companies that are still open. Is this making sense? LIKE "hey I was flying my Y brand today and it shut down and the ECU said Bla Bla." "Has this happened to anyone and how did you fix it." NOT " My brand Y is the best and it is perfect and never hickups ever." Bullcrap!!!! They all have problems!!! Every last one of them.
I think Ben is very correct in his analysis that people *****ed about getting their engine back before the big show, like SM 2001, and they rushed to get engines out that weren't properly tested. They also had way to many freebies, including complete engines. They showed us a mountain of generosity, just to be stabbed in the back with it. At least by some of us.
How about telling about all the great things they did for us. Rei was a great guy who would help anyone, RAM or not. He was always at the shows helping everybody. Try digging up some of those stories. Or how Carlos has a shop set up a mobile shop and can repair your RAM or whatever engine at the show.

I guess RAM's are the only engines that dead stick too, right?
