Ram Man

Does anyone know if he's still operating? I've heard for years that he's unresponsive and that he never ships what you order from him. I've heard from a few people that he's been unresponsive for months and still has their brake parts. I have to order some brake parts, but I'm worried nobody's home. Can anyone confirm that he's still alive and kickin'? Is he shipping out orders? I can't find residual pressure valves from anyone else. They're also called check valves. They go in the exit ports of the master cylinder.

Those residual pressure valves are available, but maybe only for GM master cylinders? Seems that those people have been the ones looking for and finding them?

Why do you need one? What vehicle? Just curious.

I've never dealt with him at all. Watching his videos, he seems very knowledgeable about some things. I often refer to his video on proportioning valves as the best source for info about that subject.

However, I have also seen videos where he berates customers that are having troubles. I find that extremely unprofessional. I thought I would check for an example, and I see his YouTube channel (the newer one) is gone. His old channel is still up and running although there hasn't been new content in years.

He marketed a spindle for C-body disc brake conversions that turned out to be very wrong as it was a couple inches shorter than it should be.

I did a little digging. (bored this morning LOL) and he was using the Better Business Logo without authorization on his videos, which makes me wonder if that's why his channel disappeared. Lots of unanswered complaints too. https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/fort-worth/profile/brake-service/the-ram-man-0825-235980452/complaints I see 2024 on some of these complaints.

And I also found this. Has anybody bought parts from the Ram Man

I'm not going to tell you to not buy from him, but that's just a couple minutes of searching and not a lot of happy folks.

I sold someone a rebuild kit that I had and some little pieces got lost in transport from damage to the packaging. I’m just trying to find those check valves without buying another full rebuild kit for a fortune. They fit pretty much all mopar master cylinders.
