Default Drama - Cobra Pulleys

Alright, so damn Farmers is taking their sweet ass time getting the court check here and we have been waiting and waiting. We had hoped it would be here by Monday and the latest yesterday. Nope, nothing! I have several phone calls to the adjuster and supp of that adjuster to find out what is going on. But in the mean time we were going to use that check for the toys on the Cobra and put them on the vehicle on our vacation next week.

So I finally said just call the place and buy the parts but them on the CC and when the check comes, we'll just pay it off....well the damn place takes 4-5 days to get it here and they don't do priority shipping (they are in florida and it wouldn't ship out until tomorrow. So we're looking at late next week if at all.

I'm trying to get out of Sean the parts needed as I'm trying to research another vendor to buy the darn parts from that we can pay for priority shipping.

Any ideas???????? HELP! Sean's going to explode if he doesn't get this done next week! He wants to play with his new toy and someone is dangling a damn carrot infront of him.

Now Farmers is playing games....they just called and said the check was mailed THIS MORNING as she was awaiting approval from her supervisor to issue the check. I'm thinking she forgot about the file again b/c I called yesterday to check the status and somehow something was done yesterday.

So needless to say POS insurance company (really coming from someone in claims....they're horrible)

Yeah we sent over the releases on 06/05/2008.....the money is going out 13 days later. LAME!

Update from Mr. P

"The tuner is only open Monday-Friday. I left him a message though to ask a couple questions. I talked to Billetflow – the place I talked to is there fastest, #1 distributor. I guess I’ll just order it and see if I get lucky, but I’m not holding my breath at this point. It’ll be okay though, I could always do it later. You cannot get it shipped any faster – ground is the only thing available."

He took a chance and ordered it.....we'll see when they come.

You might want to try Pacific Performance Products right here in Anaheim. They probably don't stock them, but they might know a way to get them sooner.

No chance of getting them sooner, so we'll see if they make it. I'm not holding my breath at this point. Unfortunately, if I don't get them done on vacation, I may have to wait until late August/early September because we have vacations every week during the summer here so time off is scarce

Uh, exactly how much work is involved with putting on a set of pulleys? At your pace, even with Pulleys, sub-frame connectors and tires, Brian is still going to be faster.

The work isn't so bad, but you need a special tool to pull the pulley off. The tool costs over $100. The tuner was charging me $50, so it was more cost effective to have him do it. It's not the actual work anyway, it's the tuning that's obviously much more important.

Everytime a job has required a special tool to be done, I do it without the special tool.

Other than being reverse thread, what's complicated about it? Are you going to install it yourself?
