Default 4.10's why so $$$

Why is it so expensive to change the gears on these things. I had a Jeep and i used to change em out for a few huno, and it would only take a few hours!!! How much are the actual gears, and what is involved in the labor that makes it so costly. :U

We only charge $1,150 for the complete swap. They are tricky to set up as you need some pretty expensive tools. :seeya

If you think 4:10's are pricey try looking at the Getrag 3:73's. :eek:

The Getrag units usually advertised are factory new while the others are rebuilt units with new ring/pinion. ECS price for the entire swap & install is about $500 less than I've seen anywhere else.
