Found some gears...

Rice_slayer · Jul 9, 2008

Got the price quote, $225 for installing the gears, and im paying $75 for the gears. This is going to hurt the wallet!

Ouch, that's a little steep. Gears are usually around $150 to install.

thats why Im looking else where, and this was the guy my parts guy recommended to me... Only problem is we can't get ANYONE to install them, I would but both me and my dad have never done it and don't have the proper tools for the job.

what is their reasoning for not wanting to install the gears?

I see you are spending $75 on a used set of gears... I have a NEW set of 3.73's sitting under my nightstand that I'll sell you for $100. That way you wont have to worry about trying to get the gears matched up to the old wear pattern. Just set them right, and let it rip

we dont know how to align them properly, neither of us know how to do that kind of stuff...

Lol how hard is it to do it? We dont know how to align them the proper way and we dont have the "guages" for it.

you should still let a shop do it... but for $25 extra... it would be stupid of you NOT to buy MY gears

Well we went to get them, and didnt get them. Stupid crap ass bolt in BOTH of the 8.8s out there that hold the big pin in the diff snapped on BOTH of them. Needless to say, we are PISSED and wont get them until the 21/22 because the guy needs to use the torch to cut the diff out for us. A little pissed off to say the least, but I have lived this long with the stockers, I guess I can wait a few more weeks.
