Best Tcase solution?

I am in a very big dillema with my Tcase. It is whining once again after shattering my LSD in it and replacing it with the OEM spider gears. My question is, has anyone used the Tcases that karking.com is selling? I have a budget of 2500 and I could get a really nice one built, but I was planning on using that money to pay off small debt like credit cards and such.

Shep I know is the best way to go, just can't really afford it.
TRE, I cant get ahold of via email or phone, anybody gotta way of contacting them?
Karking, Looks good and affordable, but its not really beefed up, its just a factory rebuild with supposedly a better ring and pinion.

What do you guys think I should do. Its a big decision, and will save me down the line. Im really leaning towards Shep, because these guys are very professional and actually pick up their phones, haha. But if someones has used the karking one, and has had no issues with it, I would definately try one.

Thanks guys

I would definately go with the Shep t/case as it is a proven product. I cant afford one at the moment though it is definately on the priority list along with a new factory Stage 2 gearbox.

I haven't used the karking transfer case yet, but when mine goes out, I'm going straight to them. I'm sticking with the stock turbo and bolt on's so I don't believe I need a beefed up unit. They have been rescuing dsm'er *** around here for years now and I do not doubt their work.

Go to www.JacksTransmissions.com I am friends with them and they are local. They do awesome work and are just as good, if not better than Shep. Tell them Aaron/ Whtevo sent ya! Good luck.

all of the big hitters (Shep, Dogbox, Jacks etc...) are proven fo sho... But with a budget, like I was most certainly in as well, I went with TRE. Believe me when I say, I know how tough it is to get a hold of them... Man, are they hard to get a hold of (I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS JON)... I purchased their spider gear and RIP grip and am quite happy. Anyway, good luck..

I would never say anything about Jacks and Shep is the same. Jacks is a sham and shep is the real deal. I would go shep any time and place. He is a great guy and does quality work. His name isnt gold for no reason.

when i was shopping for a trans and t/c i contacted shep, tre, and dog box. dog box had the most options. some where superior to the other company's Alex at dog box also had better service's for me and seemed more friendly then anyone else i spoke to.

his pricing was also the best. same quality/more quality for the money and turn around time was faster too. if you want the best you need dog box racing.

# 732-363-2227 ask for Alex or Chris

+1 for dogbox racing best prices by far...the turn around time would depend on if you needed a ring and pinion
