They have done that in the past as well. Some times I think it has to do with your search history. It may have something to do with demand as well.
I put something in the cart last time and was ready to check out, I left the window open on my home computer. I was going to purchase it but Just had some reservation. I went to work the next day and decided to make the purchase. The price jumped up. When I went home, I checked the window I left open and the price was still the same. So I decided to try and purchase it and sure enough I got it for the lower price. I opened a new window and looked at the same thing and it was at the higher price I saw earlier in the day.
If that Cardone box is anything like the PSC, I am not impressed. Mine is totally trashed after only 6,522 miles in just under 2 years. Going back to a RedHead, which I could at least get more than 10,000 miles out of.
Dave, do you have any suspension mods?
Like are you lifted, bigger tires, anything like that?
Just want to document the failure incase you are not the only one in the future.

For what they cost they better be sending you a new one no questions asked.

I run 35" tires (BFG All Terrain KO2) on OEM H2 rims, no lift (it's a GMC so a little trimming of the bumper and it clears). Stock centerlink, Kryptonite idler, weld in idler brace, DHD steering brace, and rare parts tie rods.
I'm going to call PSC today and see what they say, but until this is resolved I'm going to run a red head box again. This one isn't safe to drive as is.

I have about around 5000km on my cardone 6 bolt now. 0 leaks and tight still . I'm also lifted with 35s on 22s with the torsions turned up a bit
PSC was adamant their warranty is 1 year from date of purchase (not install), not a day more. They'll fix it for $90/hr plus parts cost.
We're going to call again Monday and see if the one dude was just in a bad mood, but if that's how they're going to handle it, I'll probably have a different shop tear it down and tell me what went wrong.

Have a blue top as well. Loved it at first. It's been on for ~1.5 years and maybe 10-12k miles. Mines getting sloppy now. I took a video the other day. The whole shaft moves kinda at an angle when being turned and makes it feel like slop in the steering wheel.

Have you tried to adjust the pinion shaft? Attached are out of the vehicle instructions but the process is basically the same.
You can not fix that type of play with out taking the box apart. Either the bearing has failed, the shaft is worn, or the box it self is some type damage from a combination of worn components.
The 6 bolt uses a larger sector shaft and bearing along with an additional bearing on top to help support it.
Unfortunately, It doesn't matter Who you buy it from here in the USA, They are still manufactured in China...
