ah! I transposed the part numbers..

So I need the RD101 to run 4.10's and numerically higher gears?

And the RD 100 will run 3.73 and numerically lower gears?

8:59:34 AM :
System: You are now in queue to be connected with a JC Whitney Product Specialist.

8:59:34 AM :
System: Melvin has joined this session!

8:59:34 AM :
System: Connected with Melvin. Your Reference Number for this chat is 4780041.

8:59:49 AM :
Melvin: Hi, my name is Melvin. Thank you for contacting us. How may I assist you today?

9:00:49 AM :
sam: I wanted to confirm a price I see listed on your website that seems too low to be possible. your sku is JCW-ARBRD93

9:01:39 AM :
Melvin: I'd be happy to help you with that.

9:02:04 AM :
Melvin: The SKU number JCW-ARBRD93 that you've provided is priced at $377.12

9:02:19 AM :
Melvin: We are very competitive with our online prices. If you can find this same item somewhere else cheaper, we'll try to price match it.

9:03:40 AM :
sam: It seems way too cheap. The normal retail price is usually about $900. Am I guaranteed to get this product at this price if I order now?

9:04:14 AM :
Melvin: Yes, you are guaranteed the price listed in the website.

9:04:14 AM :
Melvin: We get our parts straight from the same manufacturers the dealership does. But since we go direct to the manufacturer we are able to save money and pass that same savings on to our customers.

9:05:54 AM :
sam: thanks for your time

Since another website is showing the same thing even beating JC Whitney's price by about 10 bucks with some ARB lockers still at the regular price, I think Melvin was right. I think the pricing is what they got from ARB.

Can someone who ordered post up if they see that their order shipped? I ordered for the 30 and 8.8 and am curious to see what happens.

Kobe (Another chat session) says it'll ship in 2-3 business days.

10 bucks says we all get emails saying it was a mistake...

Being 2 large companies some orders might fly under the radar... fingers crossed.

A couple years back there was a pricing issue on Ebay for cowl hoods for a full sized Chevy. They were selling for 188 shipped, a steel full sized hood! People were ordering them 3 at a time. lol. I ended up getting one too. Soon after the price was corrected to $400 something.

Def seems sketchy.. Anyone get a shipping confirmation yet? The locker seems like a good price but all the fittings seems like it's still a grand

Everything is included except the compressor. The fittings are priced incorrectly as well.
