well, not a whole tank, but would definately suck it. I would have to drive there in the morning, then drive back to work, then drive back there to pick it up, then drive back home- all of this would have to be done with a 2nd person as well. Not only this, but im getting a shift kit installed the same time, so yeah, 50.00 isnt worth it to me....

Sounds about right if they are supplying everything. Is that to o/h the diff as well. Be sure of exactly what they are doing and replacing.

Dallas area is about $400ish or less for complete install and parts. Tons of places to do it, though.....

USA motorsports
HPP motorsports
Dallas Mustang
Lonestar Performance
Slim's mustang performance
Keith Craft motorsports

so it would take you almost two full tanks of gas to drive 30 minutes there, 30 minutes back??... i'd do that to save $50 in a heartbeat
personally it takes me more like 40.00 to fill up now so if i saved 50.00 and it took even a half tank of gas, i wouldnt do it cause then like said you gotta have someone else pick you up and take you back, which'll cost at least 5.00 to pay them for gas each way and the annoyance of it all. I would go with the easier closer one for extra 50.00 too...if it were me.[sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]

Its not hard to do yourself, just check your clearances and be sure to replace all your bears. Be sure to shim it right.
