Seems like a lot of people are having trouble with their Jericos lately.

That one you have should not have broken. I love the Jerico stuff, but I fear there is not the level of QC that once existed there.

Re: "Live" from Z-Max 2014
Jerico is only 2 miles from the track, and Dad personally delivered it for "service" work.
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he was sharing his concerns for the transmission. If a v6 stocker can break items, I'd had to see something with real hp and torque. |

Re: "Live" from Z-Max 2014
Scott at Jerico did an exceptional job replacing the finger and checking out the transmission and replacing shift levers to the shorter ones so I won't have as much mechanical advantage over the shift fingers. I showed the broken part to Rick and suggested a radius be placed at the bottom of the cut to add strength to the finger. Jim Marshall and I had it installed back in the truck in less than 30 minutes. I race Don Fezell in the morning and that's what the crowd enjoys. A 5 second spot! Thanks Jim for helping!
