That is just downright :grinpimp:
The number one failure is the rear output shaft. The number two failure is the input gear on the rear section of a dual case if using 21 spline gears (using 23 spline fixes this). The number three failure is rear coupler/input gear stripping out. The first two problems can be fixed by building with the right parts. Longfields rear output and 23 spline gears solve these problems.Have people been breaking adapters? From what I've seen the output, or gearset will break first. I've never heard of it, please correct me if I'm wrong here seems like a marketing tactic more than something someone would ever use.
So what exactly are you guaranteeing? Is everything included in the kit coverd under the guarantee? What processes/ materials do you use to manufacture the coupler that makes it superior to the competitions' couplers. I thought the "total spline" setup was for the #3 failure?The number one failure is the rear output shaft.

We address the 3rd problem by maintaining tight tolerances on the coupler machining to reduce play and slop that leads to the coupler wearing out and striping.
I will be honest - I felt the same way when Marlin came out with his "new" version that was supposedly improved over the original (AA built?) plate. Owning one of the first couple hundred adapters, Marlin's own website claimed it was inferior to his new style - though I am still running it some 10+ years later without a single issue.Have people been breaking adapters?

We guarantee every thing in the dual case kit and the 4.70 gear kit for life. No matter how it is used, no matter who you sell it to, no matter how many trucks it has been in, we guarantee it forever. If any part ever fails, just send it back and we will replace it.So what exactly are you guaranteeing? Is everything included in the kit coverd under the guarantee?

If it fails when you are out wheeling, say half way through the Dusy, can I call you and will you guys bring me the new part? Trying to figure if it is worth changeing out my ten year old Marlin setup!!!!!!:flipoff2:We guarantee every thing in the dual case kit and the 4.70 gear kit for life.

The materials and process used in making our couplers are similar to couplers we make for other vendors. Please note that our couplers are not compatible or interchangeable with other couplers. Years ago many couplers were very sloppy and caused many couplers strip out. The ones we make have very tight tolerances, reducing slop in the coupler.
The image you posted is a clocked case, right? Do you plan to offer those as well? And if so, will you offer a bolt-in crossmember?

Lifetime warranties do not mean didley to me, AutoZone, Kargen, and G.G. gears have them and their stuff is crap.
pic shows both mounting holes in same position, not clocked to me......?The image you posted is a clocked case, right? Do you plan to offer those as well? And if so, will you offer a bolt-in crossmember?
I have to agree in general with OOPs about lifetime warranties. I have gone to Autozone and Sears with broken parts/tools enough to know they don't mean all that much. In the end it's a lot less hassle to install quality parts. Most vendors that are reputable will take care of it's customers regardless of their official warranty anyway. I'm not saying that TG offering a lifetime warranty doesn't mean anything, though. I think it's great.

It's not clocked. Although the clocked adapters were discussed in the past, we are not working on one at this time.

Matt, I was just joking with you. I know you stand behind your products!!!!!!Oops,
Our warranty is for real! No questions; just send us your broken junk and we will replace it immediately.

Please work on oneIt's not clocked. Although the clocked adapters were discussed in the past, we are not working on one at this time.
just click there websiteSorry i missed it but what is the TG Adapter worth and how does that compare to other brand adapters?
