Yes, TCI which has been real good in the past has messed up this order big time. It took 3 days of phone calls just for them to send the fedx shipping labels to send the wrong stuff back.

Didn't even look at the spindle when I saw the GM 6 lug on 5.5" pattern on the brake. called and they said send it all back that someone pulled the wrong stuff. The order is for drop spindles with 5x5.5 lug pattern. The four link they had sent arms 2" too short. Still waiting on the replacement one on those also. Again they said someone sent the wrong year on them.

Let me guess. Your parts are like the power moon roof parts and track for my pickup...

They are all sitting in a warehouse in New York, collecting dust and disguised as a ventilator so they can't easily be found.

This is all I got back when asking for an ETA:

Hello Andy,



We unfortunately are looking at Early May now as we are not able to get the parts from our vendor until then.



Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.



Thank you.

I think my parts guy was trying to lighten the situation up some. My pickup has been sitting under cover and plastic with a big hole in the roof since December. Parts were supposed to be here just after the first of January, moved to mid January, moved again to February 5th and after that it's been, they'll be here when they get here.
