Default Differential Repairs
Looking for a reputable shop in the Milwaukee - Chicago (north) area. Can anyone suggest someone for what I think to be a pinion bearing replacement on my 2000 FRC. Have a DTE Stage II w/4.11 gears that has started whining on me. Only has 5,000 miles on it, but was installed about 7 years ago, so no warranty repairs.

Default Troubleshoot and Repair
Now I am not so sure that the noise is the differential. So, I need reputable shop to pinpoint and repair the source. Be it trans, diff, TT or whatever.

Got a quote from Blackdog, but would still like to get at least one more estimate. Anyone have any other suggestions?
