Default This Sucks!!!

This really blows!

I have to sit and stare out my baby because the rear end is shot, and its gonna take like 4 to 6 weeks just for the 12 bolt to come in plus how ever long it takes for them to install it.

Hey Aaron, if you read this, i found a damn tool you left under the hood. it was on the driver side behind the strut tower. was a black handled screw driver. lol prolly a MTI tool

4-6 weeks? Are they casting the housing or what? Did you order it from Moser? If so I would just order the parts and have Jason assemble it. My Moser 12 bolt was the loudest rear end I've ever heard and there's no reason for that other than sloppy assembly. Personally I'd order everything from Mark Williams and have Jason assemble it.

4-6 weeks? WTF. Moser ships them out in 2 days in most cases.

Not sure who you are having build it but it takes 2-3 at MOST to get one. I wouldnt order a Moser 12 bolt on the last day of this earth anyways.

Opt for the Strange unit. If you need help ordering the right setup, shoot me a PM and I'll help you through it.

The moser unit was a nice setup. We did one at Xtreme Horsepower on a guys car and it was an awesome addition to his car. You will be happy with it. Strange sells a sweet unit too though.

Strange is the better unit for the money hands down. How many Mosers have YOU installed or broken? Ive done a handful of each and the Strange is the better quality units hands down. Ive never broken a torque on a Strange unit. Moser ive done 4.

I have a 10 bolt I will ship out to you on Monday.

Well hope that the delivery guy doesn't lose the 12 bolt in the process.

4-6 weeks seems a awful long time. Might was to shoot v6bird a pm and look into some other options. Thats along time without a car.

4-6 is what RPM told me. I called TRT and they are calling dealers with no success at even getting a hold of them.

Could be worst. I waited 3 years for all my pieces then I had to sale it. Consider yourself lucky. That was for my solid roller conversion etc...

You made 2 good decisions here. One was to go to LG's instead of the hole in the wall. The second was to get the strange instead. Mike might be an *** but he knows what he is talking about every once in awhile. I sent him a PM on a shop for a motor and so far they have been nothing but awesome.
