Check out this outrageous install cost for gears I got today

 

YIKES! $100 gear oil, $26 silicone, every single line item was high.

 

Yeah pretty screwed up , I got a better quote from someone else for 2800.00 which is much more reasonable. Cant imagine how many people who get taken by some of these shops.

 

Yep, got a set of 4:56 gears for mine a while back just haven't had time to install.
I got a couple quotes around $2200 to $2500 if I remember correctly.
Considered grabbing a set of axles from the salvage yard off a 07 (4:11's) for around the same price but was concerned about used axles that I didn't know the history of.

your first quote is steeeeeeeeeeeeeep,

Ouch, I can feel my butt hole puckering just looking at the estimate! Looks like your making the owners house payments for a few months,,, that crazy!

 

That estimate is ridiculous.Why blackout the crooked shop info? Expose to let every1know!

 

You know you are right

 

Way too nice on the review. Btw, why 4.88's?


FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SPECIALTY CO REVIEWS

 

I went

with 4.88 to get back some power for hills and such I lost when going to 37-inch tires, I tow a small offroad camper I built last year

 

So gears are swapped out and driveshafts have new u joints total price was 2900.00 and what a difference, the lie o meter in the gauge cluster was saying I was getting around 13.5 or so on the back roads once I reached the interstate and reached 70 mph I turned on the cruise control and it never tried to downshift, it kept up on some slight grades too never since owning the H2 have I been able to keep the cruise on without it going crazy to keep up unless I was driving down a hill, MPG came down to 12.9-13.1 but overall a big difference compared to the 4.10 on 37 inch tires.

Next week is headers and exhaust work
