ok well yes I am pissed. Bought all of what, one of the three largest rear end manufactures in the USA, said was the Best. Now I am here and had to modify one part to get one 3rd member done. And I will have to Fully modify another part to get the other one done. All because of QC (if you dont know what that is its Quality Control).
Yes I posted in a angry pissed off frame of mind, But how the hell is "Currie QC sucks" and two of thier parts (maybe more but dont know till the one is replaced) is defective right out of the box and its their best parts for the two items they are?? Dude get real! Its not BS but it may be handled like a good company shold handle it, and thats what I first posted. That hopfully this will get taken care of.
Now lets picture some hick from down south or back east, orders these parts and gets them. Do you honestly think they would be happy to have to ship them across the US to get evaluated and hopfully exchanged. Hell no they would use some big ass hammer and a chisle prolly to just git r done, but thats not the way it should go.
You pay GOOD money for top of the line parts and you should get GOOD top of the line parts, when you dont and its due to poor QC then "QC sucks"!
In any case I will see what they do today at 2:30 when I head over there. Since I had to get one 3rd assembled and in for test fitment of the 4 link and to get some numbers in the AS and arm geometry, it was just modified to git r done, but the main item (their race case) is still in need of a quality part exchange. I will put Chris and 'Currie' on the pedastool and see how they rate. I am sure to give a good word if its as easy of a ordeal as it should be.

Well sorry if you dont think theres a hick in the south or back east. I am from PA and I KNOW theres a few there even.
And I am also sorry if your one of those that cant even stand to listen to 'blue collar TV' and Larry. If your upset about not being so politically correct in my example then I appoligize. I understand this is not Pirate and some here are sensitive about the small things.

You bought parts from a manufacturer known for their completed products, then magically expected them to fit together with components purchased elsewhere. Yeah, shit happens and it would have been nice to put things together...but IMHO if someone hadn't been such a cheapass you likely would have gotten a complete product. You can't purchased unfinished parts and just assemble them. Custom axle components are specialized equipment, man. As the 'assembler' you should realize that, and IMHO you just learned a big lesson. Currie has been around for quite a while and they've got a good reputation. I can safely say that all of the axles we've ordered from them (OMG, complete ones, even!) have been just fine out of the box, with no returns. Just think of what they must go through with grinding and fitment of components to make the axles. God forbid, it's a specialized business and you happened to get a couple of parts that didn't fit right away. Either you did something wrong or they're bad parts...but until you call them to figure it out you're only making youself look like an ass.

well I KNOW I am an ass, AND a cheap SOB. And yes expected a pinion support that is designed to fit a stock case opening and looks to be bullit cut. And yes expected a 4.86 gear set to fit in whats called a "Race Case" and also a Detroit to fit, without modification. And Yes again your right, I did learn ALOT from this.
*Never expect a ford item to be easy.
*out of the 12-15 people that told me Currie is not as good as I thought they were, maybe they had a reason for saying so or maybe not?
*Ford 9" setup should be extreamly easy if you have Stock parts and not aftermarket parts.
*I am an ass
*I am Cheap
*I am not so cheap though that I dont give money to
so others can call me cheap :jester:.
*To never build another 9" - just go shaved 14 and HP60.
*Oh and that its still very strong to Cut the end off of a bolt thats too long and its just as strong as a premade and heat treaded bolt. And that the sharp partial thread at the end is good and that a wire wheel to remove some of the sharp leading edge is just over kill on a 35 spline carrier thats made to be the strongest someone makes. :read:

from a previous post this morning.
"In any case I will see what they do today at 2:30 when I head over there"
let my ass get reamed here a little while longer before I get to be happy disapointed that Chris over at Currie tells me "sure you kinda marked up the side adjusters but we will return the case thats in question and just charge ya the extra 60$ for the Strange big bearing case".

I know its already been stated, but you shouldnt be such a cheap ass and had them put it together for you. Its like hi9 said, theres a reason why they dont like to sell them not assembled. You should'nt complain since it is not currie's fault. Should you have had them assemble it, this wouldnt even be an issue. I personally have their "race case" in my 70 chevelle with a locker and I have NO problems whatsoever. I put it together myself and had no problems. If i did, then I would have blamed myself for not letting them do what they do best. I also have one of their other rear ends in another vehicle of mine with no complaints as well. So as far as you saying that their "QC" sucks, I think you should reconsider that statement.
Currie parts + random bullshit parts = not a good idea.

For the Front,
Currie front housing and assembled HP third member, 31 sp axels, etc.
For the Rear,
Currie extra HD 9" housing and assembled True Hi 9 third member, 35 sp axels, etc.
Zero Problems.
The way I saw it, why put out all that coin, just to cut corners. All of the best components in the world are not worth squat if they’re not put together with skill and insight. I possessed neither.

He's not necessarily hurting things either. Bobby has a point. RobertK came on here and bashed a vendor (yeah I know, not the vendor, just their 'QC') before he had attempted to let Currie resolve the problem. Whoever Bobby is may be a tad too inflamed with rage to put together a persuasive argument, but he's right insofar as some understanding needs to be applied to the situation. Understanding from the point of the vendor, and understanding from the point of the builder. RobertK has a perfectly valid point that if he has purchased parts that are supposed to work together without further modifications, then they should. The salesman could have asked RobertK a few questions during the sale that might have cleared up some of the problems in advance, too. At the same time, RobertK seems to have overreacted, but that's not a crime, and I defy anyone to say they have never overreacted when they ran into what appeared to be a major problem with something they have invested lots of time and money...NRT_Chris said:

Who's to say they didn't?
I've lost count of how many times I've asked dunderheads compatibility questions regarding parts I'm selling them...only to have them come back pissing and moaning because something *I* sold them wouldn't work. :confused1
