Rear End rebuild.....is it needed?
#11
Well, the shop I use has to send it to get rebuilt.....the entire project will run about $2000. They are just relaying the price of the machine shop, who does the rebuild, to me. All my shop will be doing is removal and install. I trust they would only use only a reputable machine shop in STL for the rebuild project.
I'll most likely just let them put in stock gears, I will not be putting any forced induction on this car, nor any extreme HP projects. I also wasn't aware of the MPG loss with the gear ratio changes. Thanks for the tips dude!

I bought a used Explorer differential, put in a new clutch pack, bought new Strange 31 spline axles, new FRPP 3.73 gears and all new bearings. The parts and labor only cost me around $1000 for a bullet proof rearend. Where in Illinois do you live? I'll sell you my stock (but still good) differential and axles cheap. Send me a PM.

Bloody hell! 2k! No way man, thats way out of line,...try half that. Realistically, you probably just have bearings going, go get some gears, a bearing kit, and some carbon clutch disks and have a real shop install it. That should run you way less than 500 bones.
