JTS Venom Performance

Post by Mossy68 »

A common problem with SRT 10's , are the power steering and oil lines.
Knowing when I bought the truck, it still had the original lines , I knew the day would come when I would need to replace them.
I noticed a weep on my upper PS line , so my research began for a replacement

After lots of on line searching , and reading of forum posts etc , JTSVP seemed the best option for an upgrade from the leaky oem lines.
Not a cheap option , but a worthwhile upgrade in my opinion.

I contacted Tony Sawyer at JTSVP via email ,to enquirer about shipping to the uk etc etc. I received a swift email back explains all I needed to know. Well almost !!!!
I was a bit cautious as never shipped from a small company before , and did pester Tony a bit !!! I should have just called him !!!
Anyway , he was very helpful , and quick at replying to all of my questions

I decided to go the whole hodg , and order the PS and oil lines in one go , and sent monies via Paypal
I quickly received my invoice via email , and Tony said he would send them asap.
I was in no rush , so a week later I received an email from DHL, to say my parts were on their way.
This was on 15th August
It was in my hands at 12.33pm 17th August !!!!
Not bad from Charlotte NC.

I messaged Tony to thank him for the smooth transaction, and he apologised for the delay.

A great company to deal with , and very high quality parts.
I was also informed they can get just about anything Dodge !( I mentioned the club and our earlier cars etc )
May well be worth a call ?

And if you've a modern Ram , check out their goodies :thumbright:

Handy to know! I have bought many parts from companies large and small and even from individuals on facebook without problems. Where shipping on average took 4-6 weeks by the cheapest methods in the past, generally it is much quicker these days. Shipping charges are all over the place though and seem to bear little relevance to how quickly something might arrive.

They were due to arrive on the 21st , so no idea why so quick ?
I've only fitted the upper ps line which was leaking , will fit the rest when I get 5.
Tony was great to deal with. Plenty of advice.
Not much duty and tax on $ 30 worth of auto parts !!
A bit risky , but so is climbing around on a roof to make a living ;)

I ship from Australia quite regularly cos that's where the parts of my car are

and i have found that if willing to wait

Australian post no insurance but tracked works well

takes 6 weeks but delivered by postman often with no interference from anyone who wants to make the transaction more expensive

had a flywheel and clutch kit and an alloy wheel wrapped in a bin bag that way

if i'm in anyway wary i paypal using my credit card

2 organisations willing to fight your cause if its a dodgy transaction.

in 13 years of ebay-ing and buying from abroad have had 4 or 5 issues
and all have had a satisfactory outcome in the end

I might have been lucky

some stuff that is supposed to be by boat ends up on a plane and is here quick for no reason other than a full plane is better than a 1/2 empty plane, and a full warehouse is no good if you have nowhere else to store newly arriving stuff.

the economics of freight work to our advantage occasionally

the longest delays in most transactions are parcel force Coventry depot
