Default Ready to change gears

After reading lots of posts I am ready to go to 410 gears in my 06 m6 non Z51 430 RWH. I would like to swap out the whole differential, I am in east Texas I am not sure where to order it, I did talk to DTE about 6 weeks ago and they said they normally had a 4-6 week back log.

Just for clarification~
We are at an approx. 3 week build lead time, not 4-6 weeks and the only reason we're even at 3 weeks is because gear sets are in high demand, short supply at the moment until the gear manufacturer gets other runs completed/shipped.

Thank you.

Three weeks sounds much better, do you deal with any one around the east Texas area?if you could ship it to them I would have them do the installation, I have a local shop that could install it if I could order it direct and have it shipped to them, how much would the core charge be.

You can either purchase from any one in our dealer network or you can purchase directly from us- the cost is typically the same. We can also ship the completed differential to you directly or to your installing 3rd party shop of your choice- the fully insured shipping costs are typically the same also. Core charges have come down a bit since the C6 Corvette has been in production going on 4 years now and you'll receive that amount back in full to your CC when we receive your original core back to us.

Please give us a call if you have any additional questions and/or for further details. Jenny or myself will take care of you.
