I'm searching for an EXCELLENT mechanic to purchase and install a new 3.90 or 4.11 rear end in my 2002 Convertible, in or near Ohio. I actually live in Chillicothe (center, south side).
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for your input. I thought about doing it myself, but I'm already burning the candle at both ends. I do have the skills, just don't have the time.
I'll check RPM.
Thank you, again.

Also consider Rick Kim at RKT56.com. He built mine years ago.

I agree, he is super, but Rick is even FURTHER away from him than RPM which is right next door in Indiana.

If I read his posts correctly he was looking for someone near him to sell and install the rear.

You're right, sorry. I assumed it was DIY.
