How much am I looking at for an install?
I was going to do this on my own but I just don't have the time anymore. How much am I looking at for say the dealership or a local mechanic to install a 8.8 Rear End Differental w/ 3.73 gears already installed and a shaftmaster driveshaft? Also, when buying a new rear end, do I need to get oil for it aswell? I'm buying it from v6mustangstuff.com

I don't know the shop time rate for swapping out the rear, but IMO it should take a competent mechanic with the proper tools and lift <3 hours to swap the rear and install the driveshaft. How much are shops charging per hour for labor these days?

i would guess it would be less than a gear install. my gear/lsd install came out to $300 for labor alone so assuming you have all the parts needed, i say ~$200, possibly less? i had wondered the same thing about a DS install alone.

I just posted something on install prices a few days ago, you can use it as a gauge if you'd like:

It's not the same stuff you're getting put on, but gives you a general idea. The exhaust I think is about $400 for installation so that takes away from the labor total.
