Great Lakes Diesel

Rick and Tina Plauman may of changed the name of their business because of the dirty dealings they have done over the years. The last I knew the name of the business with Great Lakes American Diesel, I think it is now Great Lakes Performance Diesel. We lost over 80.000 due to wiring them 32.932.00 , cost of break down, truck being down over 4 months and having to buy a different engine in the long run. They do not stand behind their work or warranty

Went to visit an old friend

We are a company located in the Galapagos islands. After searching for alternatives to purchase two CAT 3406 marine engines, we decided to work with GLAD.
Our experience was top notch. The quality of the work on the engines (two units of marine CAT 3406's) was impeccable.
Our dealings were done via email. We are some 2,700 miles away (in a straight line) from Lackawanna, NY. Everything went smooth. We trusted some $ 140,000 to GLAD for the two engines and its many options, and they DELIVERED all of what was agreed upon.
There are few persons or companies that still do business in the old way; based on trust and honesty. We can say GLAD and Rick Plauman is one of those.
