I have had at least 40 cores in the last year and have called him many times to let him know .as of today he has bought one 091 trany from me and one GRB trany.He has said many times that he was on his way over to get them and never shows ,not even a call back ,recently I posted some stuff here on Samba that he called me at home siad he wanted it was on his way over again only to never come or call .
I personally think he over stated here on Samba about his hand injury ,I saw it ,a couple of stitches and a mashed thumb nail ,I have had way worse and continued to work the same day.
He has lied to me several times and I will never do buissness with him again
There is alot more to this that I wont get into .I guess the point I am getting to here is He cannot be trusted on his word .
Thanks Kenny for all your Bull sht

Dude, I dont know what your issues are but from what I can tell you use the Samba only for bashing others in the feedback section. Out of 58 posts only one post by you in a section other then feedback. I have never met Ken or you but from what it appears here on the Samba your an angry guy who has nothing to offer to the Samba other than profanity and complaints. IMO

Dude If you read my posts you would see that I gave Kenny praise at one point .I make my living off of Samba and by selling core parts to local dealers .and yeh there are a few negative posts by me about some of the people who have bought from me .I do get angry at some because of there attitude and buying practices.As far as all my posts bashing people you need to read them all .
I dont see you posting that Kenny has contacted you since your last post so whats up with that
I dont have a problem with telling it like it is and the truth is his last post says he is pulling all his ads and wont be responding to the forums .Nice way out of a bad situation
Hope he makes good on your transaction Dude
Keep us posted
Matter of fact he did email me this morning. I have no work with him currently.

I too had an email from Kenny today. I've been kept informed about the progress on my order and he has my confidence. I'm fairly relaxed about the situation given the personal difficulty he is facing. A little compasion shouldn't be much to expect from some of you guys.

I thought it was us Brits who were supposed to get up tight not you chaps!

maybe you are relaxed if youve had a e mail today , i have not been contacted for 6 months !!! if i had a e mail stating any problems that would be fine by me ! but i have lost count of how many e mails and phone messages i have sent ! i would have only needed 1 reply to be informed about my order ! which still havent got ! although ken has posted on here about questions ive asked on the forum to try and
establish if he was still in business ! So if this is the only way i can contact ken .SORRY to hear you have problems hope what ever it is , there is a good out come to it in the end , Dont worry about my order ,
take it off your books please , and return my money please , e mail or pm me for pay pal details .
Many thanks and good luck for the future .

reijo - Kenny has tried to contact you and so have I but your emails fail to be delivered. The message says that you don't have a yahoo account.

PM me with your current email address and I can help.

I had Kenny build a tranny and engine for me, I ran into some problems with the engine, that I might of caused, and Kenny came through! Kenny stands by his word and his work! I never had trouble communicating with Kenny, he always returned my calls and my emails!

I know Kenny Churning personally and he has never ripped anybody off and has always stood by his word and if it wasn't for the fact that his father has been dying of cancer these past 4 months he would have been able to spend more time on his bussiness. I would hope that this would bring some understanding and patience.

my parts I ordered from Kenny arrived yesterday just as I ordered....

Ken has gone out of his way to help me and I'm extremely grateful. It's taken a while but after what he's been through I completely understand!

Thanks again, Ken.

Look forward to doing business with you in the future ;)

I came off pretty hard on Kenny and I apoligize to you Kenny for that ,what happened between Kenny and myself I hope can be put behind us .I wish you the best in the situation that your having to deal with and that your father makes a full recovery .Please accept my apoligies

I ordered a Pro Comp Trans from Kenny. He answered all my questions and I had alot, he always answered or returned my calls and emails, he finished my trans when promised, he even drove 85 miles to drop off my trans to my friends place to help me with shipping cost since my friend could get a discount. and shipping to Honolulu, Hawaii cost alot for something so big and heavy. and he even help me install my axles over the phone. My trans shifts so smooth. This is the kind of business you want to do business with. I'll be ordering another one from him for my next project. Thanks again CHURNING GEARS.

Aloha, Ray

Has anyone heard from Kenny lately? I ordered and paid for my tranny the first week of July and have not heard from him in almost a month now.

Wed Nov 28, 2007 12:51 am

I was in contact with Ken at the weekend and I know that he is working through his outstanding orders.

If you look at the earlier postings you will see that Ken is going through a very difficult time at the moment. He asked for customers with outstanding orders to contact him on his normal email address as he is no longer responding to this thread. If you have sent him an email I am sure that he will reply. Just give him time - your patience will be appreciated.

Kenny,
you pm'd me on Nov 27th and told me to contact you, which I did both by email and phone. It's been over 6 months since I paid for and ordered a transmission from you and have not heard from you in over a month. Please contact me via email or phone.

Thanks,
Jim Turner

I see that I am not the only one out there that is finding it nearly impossible to get in contact with Ken about orders. I placed my order over 6 months ago and still have nothing. I was wondering how many other people have been left hanging like I have.

Tue Dec 11, 2007 11:27 am

I know of: Viktor65 (myself), firebug1966, WYMER1, o0mpal0ompa85, and yourself. That's 5 orders in al that I know of.

nearly impossible is an understatement

Tue Dec 11, 2007 2:33 pm

I am considering filing a formal complaint because of this and if there is anyone else that has been left hanging please let me know.

I placed an order for an engine in August and to be fair Ken has kept in regular contact with me by email.

As you will be aware from previous posts Ken is going through a very traumatic time at the moment and I guess that his first priority is not the business. He is trying to balance family priorities with work as well as responding to queries and it must be very difficult.

I had an email from Ken today in which he said that they were very slow in getting the remaining orders completed and he guessed that it might take 30 to 60 days to complete the outstanding orders.

I hope that this provides at least some reassurance to other customers.
