What's the secret to contacting TRE? PM me if it's unpublished contact info.
Haven't been able to get a response from them for a while.
EDIT for posterity: Got in touch with TRE. My eBay seller put the wrong phone number in the package.

Keep in mind it was a three day weekend, so he probably took the extra day off.
I've sent many emails asking questions but never received replies. It kinda bummed me out because I would rather him have built my trans than Shep.

That was less than a week, though.
In your situation ,I'd leave messages on a daily basis until I got some kind of reply. A month is a long time.
This is all assuming you clearly marked and included your return info so he knew it was yours.

I love what TRE does but rarely have the time to tolerate the unknowing. I had a bad experience with shep (over non-driveline related parts) so I had both my T-case and Trans rebuilds done by Jacks. So far only good experiences with them and they give you email updates at ever stage of the process. Something like arrival, cleaning, disassembly/inspection, reassembly/checks, and shipping. Both things I've sent them have been pretty amazing communication.

Does anyone else offer a robust 12-plate rear diff upgrade? I have a spare diff ready to ship to TRE, but I'm not going to send that until I can get the t-case situation resolved.
My transmission is going to Jacks. Jacks seems to do great work, and they're much closer to me anyway.

Unfortunately, this is the wildcard for me. I bought the t-case from someone else and had them ship it straight to TRE. The seller should have included the TRE packing slip, but I haven't been able to get a response from TRE yet. Hoping they're just extremely busy, but I'm beginning to wonder if I actually still own a spare transfer case somewhere.

So... Maybe if he knows you're not the one that messed up it would help
Shep does an OEM rebuild. They also do an "upgrade" where they add OEM plates (like TRE) to your existing plates, to make it 12. I didn't choose them because they just add plates to your old ones. John's process was far more involved and, IMO, a better product. But, I do understand your apprehension.
Not sure if Jacks does rear diffs....

Oh, dang. That does suck. John has a "boneyard" of unknown parts laying around. Hopefully, your isn't one of those. Did you explain someone else sent it and it's possible THEY didn't do things right? He strikes me they type that would be like, "Aw screw that!" when getting unidentified parts. He's old school and a cool character, so I don't mean that in a bad way, just that he likes getting down to business and not wasting time. Again: He's a really cool guy. In fact, one reason he may be hard to get a hold of is he's probably spending all day on the phone with another customer. Once you reach him, he'll talk to you in detail and answer absolutely ALL questions.

I'll try sending from another e-mail address on the off chance that I'm ending up in their spam folder.
This is about par for the course with all of my winter projects, both car and home.
