About 10K. They advertise you can do the conversion in 1 day.

Don't do it, just had my drive repaired from Konrad FIFTY HOURS on them and $6000 to repair. They don't know why it broke and it was VERY rare that it broke. I had to also pull the motor out to repair my tranny it bent the splines in it when the drive let go.

For what they cost don't they have some kind of warranty on them?

-There is a one year warranty. Unfortunately, Joe's drive is 2 years old. The factory is firm on the warranty policy.

I thought my drives were bullit proof too? That was the price to repair one drive. I'm hoping the other one doesn't go as well, they don't know why it failed so it leaves thinking what about the other? I'm running 800 hp through them and never beat on it so I wonder what horsepower they really do handle???????????????????????????????

That makes sense. Warrantee is warantee! What is it with people that expect the warrantee to go beyond the warrantee!! I see it if is 30 days or so.....MAYBE, but twice the warantee? Konrad is an awesome drive. I've spent nearly $6K to repair a Merc XR

NOTHING is bullet proof. Even good stuff fails eventually in our sport.....! Before Konrad came around.....what were your options?

Number 6 drive is my guess. I know Kurt was taking phone calls on the 4th of July. That is good customer service if you ask me. I know I would not have answered my phone on the 4th for most of my customers Except for you Nort your OK LOL
