Best Price for gears.
I would like to see what the best deal on 3.73 or 3.90 gears is? I cant find any for a resonable price but ive only found two places that carry them.

Are you talking about just for the ring and pinion? I was going to do a GP about a month ago but only two people were interested.

What is most cost effective, are you just buying the gears and getting
them swapped in and set, or the whole rear swap?
I have had some bad experiences with the backlash and ending up with
worn rear gears because of improper installation.
Might be in for a GP if someone can set it up, looking for 3.90 or 4.10's
myself, whatever is better for daily highway driver.

I'm working on getting a couple of cores right now so I can offer an exchange program as well as installations in June. With the GP you can purchase just the ring and pinion if you wish. I'll look into the gears again and try to set something up again.

Yes, on the install. I think I'm about to run a special for gear installs at $1050 installed. Left shaft would be an additional $260 (I have them on special right now). May is already full up on me right now so I can't do any installs until June after I get back from Cruise In so the special will be then.

If you were to send me your diff today here is the breakdown on what I would charge you at an everyday rate:
Gear Setting labor - $350.00
Hardened shaft - $260.00
Gears - $375.00
Shipping back - $70.00
Total - $1055.00
If I were to have enough people for a GP on the gears I could get the cost down.
