    Thanks. Struggling to find a Jost dealer around me that will actually look it up and call me back.

    2 hours away from me roughly. Your off hwy 24. I'm over by springfield but Ty over there at Urbana treats me great, I think, better than the other CIT stores. Plus he stocks a lot of peterbilt parts. He knows his customer base.
     
    Lepton1 and Tug Toy Thank this.

    I use a guy named Mckay. He used to be the runner but moved in the office. I just text him what I need and it's waiting at the house when I get home. Guy worked his butt off when I bought my crate motor. Other shops just blew me off and fed me a line of BS. He ran down every question I had and responded with written facts. He has my buissness even though I drive an international.
     
    LoJackDatHo Thanks this.

    Crap. Forgot to post update. I love it. Easy pull release. The no tilt option is so simple. Just keep it clean up front where the pins spin around. I have no issues and would buy it again.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.

    Still working on getting mine changed. Currently has blocks welded under it. Works for 99% of what I do but I don't like being limited.

    Happen to have a part number?
