Wow, that sucks. I really hate when companies do things like that. Could have even been a return that someone was cranking down, ruined the box, and then sent it back. Sucks for sure.

That is certainly a possibility.

Maybe time to give redneck ram a call or PSC… swap over to hydro assist…? ??

Ok, I just checked RnR out and may just send this bad box back for a refund. The hydro assist is very doable. I will give them a call tomorrow. I was thinking it would be in the thousands of $ to do this. Not the case. Thanks for the heads up.

Would love to eventually do that. Not sure I could justify the cost though. Hell, I don't even know how much it actually is but I'm sure it's WAY more than the $400 this box has cost me.

$465- option one. Rebuild, drill and tap.
This opens the door for down the road picking up lines, cooler, and ram. (6.75” for the JT according to PSC my opinion- redneck ram box, and psc for everything else….)
At this point you need to have the box you have resolved… or get your core back?

Edit- didn’t see your reply ?.
You will be so much happier with hydro….
