Help! Does anybody have a new 2nd gen Edelbrock front shock? (pn: 33992)
Loong story short - Edelbrock has discontinued making the Performer IAS shock for the 2nd gens and I need (1) PN# 33992 in a very bad way
I am hoping maybe one of you guys has one and never used it or maybe ran for a short time and then switched to something else??
My situation:
I recently ordered a complete set from 4WP and got 2 rears and 1 front and was told the other front is on backorder from Edelbrock. So I wait...and wait. I called 4WP about the back order and they called Edelbrock and said 'no estimated time for delivery'
I then called Edelbrock myself to see whats up. The CSR said the same thing about no known time for delivery but she did take my ph# and say that she will email some internal folks and find out more info if possible and call me back. She called back the next day and told me "The guys in manufacturing said that they have stopped making the IAS shocks for Toyota's"
I then asked to talk to a manager and was told that there are no more raw materials to even make the shocks if they wanted to. I then reminded the manager about their business ethics policies on their own web site and that they were still taking orders from resellers for shocks that they have no intentions of ever making again...oh boy did that open a can of worms.
The manager is currently 'looking into things' and is going to try to find one for me in inventory somewhere.
Until I hear back from them I am trying to find one on my own. None of the major resellers (4WP, Desert Rat, PP, Summit ;etc) have the IAS for 2nd gen 4Runners in stock and they all *think* they can still back order them because nobody has told them they are out of production yet - and when they call in to Edelbrock they are not told that either.
Does anyone out there happen to have a Edelbrock IAS pn# 33992 ?
Please let me know if you do because right now I have 3 shocks and need the 4th to complete my project.
I would send my 3 back to 4WP for refund but I have already tossed the boxes out - I was originally expecting the 4th shock to just come in on back order.
Thanks for any help you may have to offer.
