Well She called about getting 7 more and they said they were sold out and not getting any more. The guy at jegs said he thought they are going out of business.

But when she called back to see about 7 more they said they aren't getting anymore because they are apparently going out of business. Maybe it's false which I hope it is.....

They only have (had?) either a left-hand or right-hand part now that their inventory is depleted so they can't even provide a purchaser w/ a complete set: http://www.jegs.com/i/Ross-Pistons/794/99539-1/10002/-1?parentProductId=744654 Last edited by BradH; 12/17/12 05:48 PM.

I have a friend that works for Jegs and he told me a couple years ago they were going to stop selling Ross. So they probably just depleted their stock, like someone said, and won't order anymore. Why the sales associate said they were going out of business, Idk. My view was so he could sell her some of the brand they sell. 1969 Dart GTS 340 1969 Super Bee X9 N-96 1969 Coronet R/T X9 N-96 2015 Dodge Dart GT 2019 Ram 2500 Big Horn. Looking for the original block for my Bee. The last 4 are 7449

I posted it but I must have missed a step submitting my post. Glad to know it was an honest mistake. Im sure the guy at Jeg's just wasn't sure. I've always had great luck dealing with Jegs.
