So looking at the labor it seems like it isnt very complicated? I want to get 3.73s and always do mechanical work myself. Question is how long of a job is it? 4-5 hours?

I charge people more than that to install complete audio systems in their car....that is just about a 6-8 hour job.

So I am assuming 4-5 hours for the gears?

A local tranny shop wants to charge 6 hours labor. A local machine shop wants 250 but they need the rear end out. I don't want to pay more than 300. I am still on my quest.

I did my gears myself, and for the first little bit they whined, but it is good now.
it took me about 11 hours, it was my first time, and I rebuilt my carrier, (put new clutch packs in) I had access to air tools and a press, and a special bearing clamp thing, that holds the bearing while you press the carrier/pinion gear off.
I would reccomend if you do it yourself, to at least get a dial indicator with magnetic base, and measure everything, then try to get it the same with the new gears, and don't forget to break them in properly.
