Count me in, I will gladly pay $ 400.00 for one , just for peace of mind.

Totally out of curiosity, not criticizing or judging at all: Why are you looking at buying the detection device where the only end result is the purchase of the bearing anyway? Why are you not interested in just buying the bearing now and getting it over with?

I certainly understand statistics..
I understand them enough to know that in this scenario they can't be calculated.

It's really simple:
The IMSG gives the advanced notice that an issue is imminent and no other device or process to date has been able do this. That advanced notice is what allows engines to be saved before collateral damage occurs that takes the engine out.

Either someone sees benefit in such a system, or they don't... Those that do see benefit buy it and the others do not, that's the freedom that we all have as Americans. Those who do invest in the technology get a sense of security that has only been available through an IMSR in the past at a much higher cost for the total process. The IMSG also has the ability to seek out 10 other forms of failure that the IMSR does not address and offers a 150% credit toward a Flat 6 engine solution to those who buy the unit through us.

Remember: until 2009 LN and I had not developed the technology to safely extract the IMS bearing with the engine together and in the car. The development of the IMSG pre-dates the IMSR as I had this idea before we ever retrofitted the first bearing successfully.

People call our Offices looking for a sense if security all day everyday and we cannot give it to them honestly. The IMSG gives this to them continually from the dash interface with an audible and visual IMS Alert and push to test features.

Believe in it? Great, buy it.
Don't believe in it? Don't buy it.
Its that simple.
That's said, the first 500 units are almost already spoken for in less than one week of pre-sales with zero advertisement and people still don't even know how it works. The do know what it offers and that's enough to captivate them.

I was basing nothing on the 3 cars here now except the fact that all of them could have been saved if advanced warning was given and the proper action was taken. When the female owner of one of them saw the technology employed in one of our test cars she asked why in the world we didn't come out with it sooner.
The IMS bearing failure isn't what generally drives the stake in the heart if the engine, it's a primary mode of failure that leads to collateral damage that is much worse and not able to be solved without complete engine teardown.

The female driver we were referring to has an IMS bearing that is still intact, but has failed. What took her off the road was a rod knock that was created from collateral damage. Her IMS bearing could be retrofitted today and she would still have a rod knock, if caught early enough the whole situation could have been much different and instead if 15k, she would be looking at 3k with a credit applied from my company if she had the IMSG employed.

The choice is yours.

It's not that simple, though is it? Some kind of explanation and demonstration of how it works is necessary to make a rational decision over the merits of the system.

All they know is that you claim it warns of IMS bearing failure and ten other undisclosed (as far as I know) problems. The fact that they buy it on spec I assume reflects their desperation to avoid this problem more than anything else.

To draw a slightly unfair analogy, faith healers still do a roaring trade in our supposedly enlightened age by promising to help desperate people. But they're still fraudsters exploiting the vulnerable.

I'm not accusing you of anything remotely that sinister, but the way you tend to present your solutions with a general tone of "my stuff works and you'll have to take my word for it, everyone else does" I personally find a little arrogant.

I absolutely hope your failure detection device works as advertised, if so it's a great innovation. I just wish you came across as a bit more open and forthcoming and that your tone wasn't a bit redolent of someone making hyperbolic claims. I'm sure you and your company do some great work, but your tone is a bit off putting.

The old owner of the Boxster I own, had replaced the RMS and clutch at 60K miles, If he had not, then I would have replaced the IMS and RMS when I needed a new clutch.

The way I see it is, my clutch is good for another 60K before I need to replace it, when I do I will replace the IMS W/Jake's, until then it makes sense to have this IMS Guardian on my car.
