The president of our local club posted the following survey and I'm almost through with it but, I can't seem to remember what model the t-case is. My build sheet just says Command-trac but, obviously that doesn't help. Before I go crawl under my Jeep with a flashlight, can anyone jog my memory?
Here's the survey and email to send it to:
jmcvey1@twcny.rr.com
Hello,
I work for Magna Powertrain, the manufacturer of New Process Gear transfer cases for GM, Dodge, Jeep, BMW, and others. A group of us from the product and engineering departments are attempting to convince management that the off-road market would be receptive to our products, designed and sold specifically for off-roaders.
If you have the time, would you please fill out the attached survey (it will only take 5 minutes of your time), and return it to me? Please feel free to forward it to other club members - We value your opinions.
Sincerely,
Joe McVey
Project Manager
