Talked with Eric first thing this morning. Was told all orders should be filled by thursday. There were only 4 left to go. Was told I would have mine by the end of the month without issue. I would think that if you are getting black powdercoating the remaining orders should be the same timeframe.
I'm waiting on Eric to make good on many issues I had with the rear I received from him several months ago.
Thanks
Eric - I'm still waiting on you. My patience is wearing thin man.

Whew...just finished reading this entire thread.
I think I am finally convinced on getting rid of my stock style torque arm. I am really concerned about clearance in the tunnel area but hopefully this setup will be fine lowered 1.25 inches.

we are down to about 4 assemblies on backorder right now... wait time should only be a couple weeks on powdercoated ones. non powdercoated ones could ship within a few days depending on options. we will continue to build housings both powdercoated black and unfinished for stock so we can ship those out within a few days, also. i keep all the common gears and center section components in stock as well.

standard, plain, regular 'ol parts store 80/90 gear lube... definetly no synthetics though.
do 3 heat cycles with regular street cruising driving... no sustained highway speed or launches. after minimum 3 heat cycles, then do whatever you like. heat cycle is from cool to full operating temp, then back to cool. usually 1-2 hours cool time.
after minimum 500 miles change out the gear oil. use whatever you like and what viscosity fits your needs.

also do you have any assembly instructions for the bearings at all? thanks

Yup, Truetrac doesn't need limited slip oil....it's all gears in there, no clutches to worry about.
Like previously mentioned, after 500 miles you can throw whatever you want in there. I'll be putting synthetic in mine once I hit that mark.

Yep syn all the way, after break in ill either be using royal purple or mobil1.Although now I have to wait two weeks to install my rear because my work is sending me to El Paso
So my rear will be here the middle of next week and will sit in the garage until I get back and have time to install it. SO much for trying to make the track day
