Their Reputation just went down the tubes, as far as quality of labor is concerned.
I bought my truck with 5.29's which the previous owner had installed by 4WPW. 1 year after the install, the rearend starts making noise. I pulled it apart and find my Ring and Pinion are chewed up. The Pinion has about 3 teeth chipped off.....
I bought new gears from the guys at RockLogic 4x4 and they hooked me up with JR at Ms.Conceptions in WVC, to do the install. When he finished up with the new gears, he had me look at the old gears. The Pinion was set 0.050" of a inch too deep, (which is a large margin of error). Thats why they eventually self destructed. You can see in the wear pattern where the ring gear had been grinding away at the Pinion.
I took the old gears to 4WPW and they said they could do nothing about it, since I wasn't the original purchaser. That's logical, but for me, what it comes down to is that I will never have 4WPW do any labor for me. I'll still shop there and buy parts when I need them, but they cost me quite a chunk of change that shouldn't have been spent. Someone else will be getting my buisness when I need labor, probably JR.
