Guys this sounds like an absolute nightmare. Was looking to pick up a V1, slap a 9" and a S/C on it and go however it sounds like that would be much more of a mess than I'm interested in. Time to start reseraching the 8.8 rears!
OP, good luck with getting everything together.

I have a new update for yall as well. The pumpkin has been leaking ever since we installed it about 3 weeks ago. Finally got to the point of pure anger towards this. So, for the final solution, we are trailering my car to KS so Gforce can install it themselves and going back the next weekend to pick it back up.
The stub retainer was not tight against the housing. We found that the splines were too tight in the S-trac posi unit and it might of kept the stub from going all the way in.
Strange has been tweaking the S-trac design a bit and sometimes gets one that fit a little tighter then normal.
We re-splined the stubs to fit as they should, we also installed the new aluminum stub retainers we have been testing.
Jason got your cradle clearanced so the cv bolts dont hit anymore too.
We put around 25 miles on it driving around the city, stop and go plus highway speeds to make sure it drove nice and it is baby smooth with no leaks.
I look forward to meeting you today.
Thanks
Chris

When the cv bolts hit the cradle on the test drive it cracked the bearing race and that allowed the stub to pull out of the housing.
I'll get it all fixed up Monday and I'll deliver your car back to you probably Tuesday.
Thanks
Chris

I ordered my 9' rear from G-Force on the 2/14 of this year and paid in full on 3/14. Its completely rediculous its now 4/30 and I still dont have half my parts. I haven't had a car since winter storm Nemo here in NY. I am dumb founded they keep blaming it on strange but it sounds strange how they can't just pick up the phone call strange and ask where the **** my **** is?? I feel bad for everyone else this is happening too im just happy im not singled out.. I really hope they fix all the "quirks" that the kit is supposably having cause I sure did wait long enough so far, They seem like good guys over there at G-Force but when it comes to business men I dont know if there up to par on that one. I got a few friends that are waiting on me to get my V back on the road so they can see how good the rear came out, But I can honestly say if its not flawless Im not gunna be able to recomend them, Cause I wouldnt want even my enemy to have to wait this long to get there car back....
G-FORCE PLEASE HELP

How about those 31 spline axles ive emailed twice about? Not trying to call you out on here but damn its been almost 2 months since you said 2 weeks. And no response to 2 emails.
I have spent too many hours under my car fixing leaks and stub shafts and far too many $$$ to be ignored by you Chris.
In your big reveal thread about the new axles you mention starting to send them out with kits but when I called, Casey said they were not done yet. So I say "But Chris posted that you guys started sending them out with kits". Casey replies with confusion: "Ummm we have sent a few out for customers making big power".
If I tell you that my car will clip off a 9 second 1/4 will you send me a good set of axles?

You have no clue how badly I wish I never had problems with this. I like Chris alot. Great guy! But there has to be some end to this madness of waiting and money I have spent, and will continue to spend.

Also can definitely attest to this. As many issues as there were getting parts, replacing parts, driving to kansas, etc. You kinda feel bad at being pissed just because of how nice they all are. But at some point, you gotta look past that and just get the job that needs to be done....done.

We made a small run of the 31 spline axles and shipped some out for testing to various customers.
We have 31 spline axle bars made, we are just waiting to get the 31 spline cv stars done now. We just got them back from getting broached about a month late so that put us a month behind as well.
We make a bunch of products and we run them in large batches, sometimes this stuff takes time and date/deadlines cant be maintained.
Thanks
Chris
