SL...

No to Amazon, yes to Summit unless I need it now then I drive to and buy from Behrents

www.Behrents.com

Or Bruce’s Speed Shop which is also where I get my XRP Fittngs and hoses

www.brucesspeedshop.com

Engine parts like valve springs, rockers, pushrods, lifters, etc. from the engine builder, chassis parts like heim joints from the chassis builder. Brake pads, rear gears, etc. directly from Mark Williams, tires directly from Hoosier.

Now here's a strange one, my belts expired Dec 2022. Waited til now to order new ones from Summit so I could get a good date. Received them and opened the box, expiration date Dec 2022 LOL. In 30 plus years of dealing with Summit, this is the first aw **** that has happened. Even customer service couldn't believe it. The worse thing that has happened in the past with belts is I did get a set once that was already 3 months old.

I order my belts from Simpson, never an issue.

call Pro 1, problem solved

I've been able to find auto parts at a good deal from Walmart.com now. Called manufacturer and they verified WM was selling for them and the price and warranty was better buying through WM.com.
When I needed a PG input shaft they were out of stock at many places, Amazon had it no problem free shipping.
Jegs is selling through Amazon and ebay and Summit sells on ebay not sure about Amazon.

Placed an order with Jegs about 10 days ago
1 Item does not show up with the rest
Manley valve train parts
Manley is in NJ and parts usually drop shipped in as little as 1 day if in stock
I call Jegs and sit on hold for 10 minutes and when I do get to speak to someone he can't find my order and I have the info right in front of me on my computer
Tells me he has to put me on hold......line goes dead shortly after that

I get the part number, go to Amazon and order it....says I will have the order in 2-3 days....we'll see....

Chris, you should also check with J.R. Baxter aka seabass, he has the same trailer but only hauls a dragster(s) no door car.

Did the trailer arrive in 2 days with free Prime shipping?
