Rear end work & misc

[KStromberg]

Hmm well I hope all goes better this time around! If/when I regear, I might look for an experienced gear head in the 4x4 community, if I can get one willing to work under this thing. I did that for my Explorer when I shredded the ring gear and upgraded to 4.56s. My theory is they are overly meticulous because they apply (usually) high amounts of torque off the transfer cases to big fat tires, usually out in the middle of nowhere, not on a drag strip with AAA next door. So chances are you may get better quality work.

Thanks man! And definitely. I have to totally agree there. I don't think there is any theory there but rather fact. They put HUGE stress on the differential. It's all in a slow climb rather than fast acceleration. That goes for mud trucks too. Spinning your way through the muddy glue. I'll bet that diff fluid is like water in no time. LOL

That sucks you have some bad luck with mechanics. On the brighter side
I went to school with Broc hes a good guy you should be in good hands.

I remember you saying that Luke!

I will need you in the near future to have you help me with a coil conversion. You already know this. I'll have 2 good rear air bags, compressor, new rear Arnott shocks w/mounts as of last fall, and brand new upper control arms that you can have for free as partial collateral for sacrificing your time. (We decided to replace those for now also to make the car a bit more safe.) When the time comes, let me know if there is anything else you need. I will keep in touch.

Well...unless you've got a legitimate excuse ..like being in a wheel chair or something of the sort-which is understandable..

That being said, there's no reason a capable healthy person can't remove the entire exhaust by ones self

i can do a ton from my wheelcchair including exhausrt with headers. of course i had help and a lift. brakes too. wheni was shopping for rear end at american muscle got best price gears 149.99 tracloc 189.99 which both have gone up now 10 to 20 and raetech install kit from summit 139.99 i think any install shop was 350 to450. so id say your in the ballpark
