Default trutrac install

i've bee trying to find the how to i know i've seen it here before but cant remember where. i know there is a more detailed one than the one on the sitcky with pictures i think. if anyone has the link i would very much appreciate it if you let me know. also i got a detroit trutrac and motive gears going in, besides that i know i need gear oil (royal purple?) a diff cover gasket and what else??? i've heard about a friction modifiers, but i could have sworn that the site i ordered my trutrac from said it didnt need it since it was a detroit. also what else should i go ahead and swap out now that i have the diff open? any seal, bearing anything else i need. all help is very much appreciated thanks

also about how much would i be looking for as far as install, i just got off the phone with a shop and they quoted me 4.2 hrs labor @ about 465 total, thats kinda high and i dont think it would take 4 hrs, what would be a fair price, not super cheap but not super high i was thinkin between 2-300

Mine cost me $300 even. Keep calling around. I would also buy the installation kit. It has the new bearings and all. http://www.stangmods.com/Mustang-Gea...it-p/00347.htm
