Re: Dana 44 turns into Dana $2000
 

Well, I certainly do appreciate the insight you guys gave... Trust me,
I'll be sending a note to JP magazine telling them of this dealer's
exploits. Whether they print it or not is another question. Guess
I've been "exploited." Not sure what else I can do at this point
seeing as though the parts are on order and the rental car (gag) is in
hand....
Sad day in rapedbythedealer land. Can't wait to get my Jeep back
though.
Off to work at 0600.

It seems to me that if you haven't paid, you can do whatever you want. Have
it towed somewhere else.

Re: Dana 44 turns into Dana $2000
 

It only cost 2 grand Canadian to change the gears in both my CJ and
Daughter's YJ, new gears included, well acually it was purchase 4 sets of
gears but I only paid for 3 to be installed since her rear is 9", brother in
law did those ones, but for CJ I alos replaced the carrier and spider gears
in rear. If the dealer told me $2000.00 I'd be looking at Dynatrac or Currie
for a price.

Re: Dana 44 turns into Dana $2000
 

I paid 1300 for a D44 with hardened shafts, disc brake conversion, ARB and
4.56 gears. Used of course but still, damn 2k... Call them and tell them you
want your jeep back.
