Diagnosing rear differential

[ChickNorris]

That seems a little steep on shop time if your material cost was accurate... but I've never rebuilt one by myself so I maybe I wouldn't know.

His pricing on parts was about 50% higher than the parts I priced (I did not go for the cheapest stuff either)

That is crazy expensive, shouldn't be more than $1000 top.

First quote for rebuild was $1762. Happens to be more than a new one from autozone

Ouch. That is on the high side. Best off getting new at that point.

Called the local mechanic in Bennett too, he referred me to the same place I got the first quote from. Going to call one more shop tomorrow and see what their input is. If the price isnt significantly better, I'll just go pick up a used one from the yard and cross my fingers.

That seems really high...

That seems really high...

It was $1495 if they didnt replace the limited slip clutches

[ChickNorris]

I know its out of your way but Im going to suggest Active Transmission in Arvada. I wholly trust Jeff to be honest & his prices have always been fair & I've never had a single issue with the work they've done on any of my trucks. (That alone is amazing)

Second quote: $1000 without gears, $1350 if gears are needed.
3rd quote: close to the same.

[ChickNorris]

Those seems more reasonable than the first estimate if you're going to go the rebuilt route.

Thanks for updating, could be handy for folks to have a point of reference.
