Ok so I went to a local 4x4 shop where they specialize in rear diff and the guy quoted me this

Labor= 350
set up kit= 110
shop supply= 10
hazzardous waste= 15
axel and something else that I cant understand= 40

TOTAL= 525!?!?!?

I can get the set up kit for 60ish and I dont need the axel thing he was talkin about. so thats 90 off the price but I need to get the Diff oil and additive. The guy has a good rep I guess a guy I know that owns a shop takes all of the cars he has there. What do you guys think of this?

Oh yeah plus the 16 + shipping for the speedo gear.

I'd keep shopping. Around here I think they get about $220 with the rear axle in the car.
If you are in the great state of Calif. you will pay for a bunch of 'hazard fees' etc.
Shop supply charge not new, I charged one 30 years ago when I ran a shop.......

yeah 435 is still a lot I believe.

actually thats about right for a gear change... if you include the price of the gears.

however you didnt tell us what your having done

it cost me $75 for my rear to get set up... but i installed it all myself

I have 3.55 gears I want installed. I'm thinking I might just do it myself. I got the haynes manual and I'm not that mechanically retarded, a little but not to much.
