Made a little progress today. Got the rear end out and after cleaning off a lot of the dirt and grease, I popped the cover to give it a quick inspection. Everything looked pretty good inside just a little sludge in the bottom. I was hoping that it had 3.73 gears already, but after counting the teeth is turns out that its a 3.07. Called up Ft. Worth Gear and Axle and they gave me a ballpark over the phone quote of about $1800 to do a rebuild with posi and new gears. This seems a little high to me, I was expecting somewhere under $1500.
Can anybody confirm that this is a reasonable price?
Does anybody have a recommendation for gear and axle shop in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?
Considering doing it myself but I don't have any experience with rebuilding differentials so it would be a learning process.
