GSM SRT 1/2 Shafts Complete RTR "TONE RINGS INCLUDED"

[HalV48]

What do you need extra tone rings for? I guess you are not aware that I broke 2 halfshafts, one last December and one in March. I was the 1st to have the GSM shafts. There were no tone rings available for mine. We had to take the tone rings off of my stock halfshafts. Not to say that other options were tried by Scott and crew. That included trying to mfg them themselves. They got very close. So I'm way more aware of these issues than you could possibly know. My car was tied up for a couple of months for the R&D and sourcing of the tone rings.

Again, I ask the question? Why do you need tone rings? They come on the stock replacement shafts. You already have them on your car.

I guess your not aware that Chrysler offers no service parts for our differentials. You have to buy the whole unit. Tranny too.

Marketing suicide to sell you tone rings so you can buy a competiters halfshafts. So they sell you some tone rings and you go elsewhere to buy your shafts. So when you want stronger halfshaft, you'll buy them from GSM becasue they sold you tone rings. Oh, wait a minute, you don't need halfshafts, you already bought them from someone else, and GSM saved you from taking your tone rings off of your stock shafts which won't work on your car anymore due to the increased spline size you have now.

Chrysler is the one not supplying the tone rings. Their fault, not GSM's. Other vendors are selling incomplete halfshafts, vent your anger towards them. If you can source tone rings, why can't they?

Does not go over well with me. Perhaps you were fortunate enough to not need shafts, or maybe you were able to wait until GS put theirs out with the rings, I don't know or really care. What I do know is that eventually someone else will source these, and GS may experience some repercussions for their decisions to only sell the inexpensive piece that could give some people their ABS brakes, traction and cruise control back.

Right now, it is more important to them to bundle it and make the bigger buck. I understand that. My whole point is that folks like me will probably remember this marketing decision and the impact it had on us long after those inexpensive rings are available anywhere.

I sourced a set this afternoon.

Using your analogy, you should hope to never lose a set of car keys. Chrysler might decide that you need to buy a whole new vehicle if you want new keys. (Ridiculous, I know, but that is my point.)

No anger here boys, at least not on my side. My point has been made. Time for me to move on.

Do you have 650hp halfshafts in stock now?

Will they hold a bolt on SRT8 with ~3000-3200 stall converter on DRs?

Cheers,

Actually you've made no point other than making yourself look like a whiner with no merit.

Good job!

Not worth my time to reply. My last post here was before Christmas. It's over and done. Let it go and find something else to stir.

Detour is right! I had the same problem when I switched out my half shafts I damaged the ABS tone ring, not knowing that Chrysler does not sell the ring by itself I have had a hard time getting it from junk yards. I have been a customer of GSM and would hope they can help me out when I have no other choices. If a friend came to you asking for help and you had something he needed. I guess I know where GSM stands as a friend.
Funny thing is I have to go out a buy the whole axle for hundreds of dollars. No biggie I can afford it but I know GSM will never get any business from me or any of my friends. Good business sense GSM.
By the way guys ask me where i got my wheels. I say I can't remember!
