Re: Prices to regear to lower gears
I can't recommend buying gears from one location and having another
install them. If there is a problem, and there was after my last
regearing, there will be finger-pointing between the installer and where
the gears were purchased. Besides, just about any installer can match
the pricing of an online gear dealer since they want the money spent on
labor spent to install them.

Re: Prices to regear to lower gears
I doubt very seriously that anyone can have new front and rear gears
together with a new Truetrac LSD in the rear for only $900. In fact
I'll go so far as to say that it can't be done in a retail shop for that
price.

Re: Prices to regear to lower gears
Jerry, you are correct, I made a calculation mistake and did not add in the
TruTrac at $350. I discovered my mistake shortly after my post. I wish
there was a way to edit NG posts.
Sorry for the misinformation.

Re: Prices to regear to lower gears
In my case the gents at the shop are experienced and personable enough to
know better. They know good gears when they see them and know that their
performance is base on their labor only. I don't think this would be odd
for any shop that knows what they are doing. Like you say: "they want the
money spent on labor spent to install them".
