Oh god... UPS must be flippin dur dur dur. Check out this tracking log.



San Pablo is a good 180 miles northwest of Fresno (where it shipped out of), and everybody know where Texas is right? Yeah, very far to the south east of fresno... Driver musta been "Hmm... Me at ocean! That no good."

Want my dog gone shifter seat and socket! And man does it get hot as hell drivin your truck without the shifter plate and boots on. All the heat from the engine and tranny just rolls right into the cab. But I think I know what I'll be doin once it starts gettin cold again!

You mean...? It's NOT supposed to move around in circles!?

Lol yeah I really need mine. Thinkin about goin to toyota and just buying one of thiers, then replacin it with marlin's when it comes in the mail.

See, my socket is worn down and teared about half way up. Yours is in like brand new condition compaired to mine. And I don't remember seeing that spring that is on your shifter...

I shot this about a month ago, shows just how bad my shifter was.
sorry for the crappyness, my wheel club was still on and its just with my crappy digi cam.
At the end I was trying to get it into 5th without twisting the shifter.. no luck

Now maybe if the price of shipping was proportionate to the weight of the object, I wouldn't be SOOOO mad, but seeing as how I was charged $20 for less than a pound worth of material that I paid $15 for, it REALLY pushes my buttons.

Well I did have this vision of answering the door with my sawed-off 12 gauge, saying "take me to your leader"... Over the top?

Maybe just a little... But ya know what ever you feel like doing although the feds might be knocking on your door


I would imagen they had to drive your package north to put it on a plane fly it to memphis so on and so forth. I want to replace mine because sometimes I have to force 1st in or shift to 2nd then to first

Even if they had to fly it to memphis first, then here, it doesn't take 5 days by air. If that's the case, they REALLY need to upgrade their airplanes...

It's just a glitch in the software. It says it will arrive on the 22nd. Was there a promised date of delivery?
