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.

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.

find a 4x4 shop who will give you alot more for that 2 grand. Steve
