When I originally started talking to him about the gear we discussed a metal one. The problem with that is the worm gear on the motor shaft then becomes the weak link. Plus he will guarantee the gear for life.

So how long until these things are up for sale? How long of a test are they going through?

I'm hoping to have final approval and pricing next week for everyone. After that I'll open up the buy and start taking orders. Lead should only be about 2 weeks or so after the order is placed.
Thanks,

Sorry, I got buried this week at work so I haven't had a chance to test it yet. I should get to it this weekend for sure.
Thanks for your patience.

Well, the first test gear wasn't quite right so the manufacturer is building another one which I should have on Wednesday. I'll update you as soon as that happens.

Great. It may take a couple of tries before he gets it right. It's a complex little gear.

Any update on this? My second set of gears just went TU. I dont know if it is just because of the lack of humididty and excess of heat here in Nevada but these gears just suck. I am still under Fords ESP, but my deductable is 100 bucks. If I can get a set that wont wear out and has a lifetime waranty then I would rather do that.
