Default T-lok install in MD

Anyone know a good place to get a T-lok installed in MD? Plaza Ford in Belair is listed as a Ford Racing Parts authorized installer, but I was looking for something closer to home (Millersville, MD). Thanks...

There are places in Glen Burnie, I dont know the names, but I'll look into it, when I was at a Mustang Show in Waldorf some guys told me they had work done there but I frogot the name. as far as "mustang" shops the only 2 I know is Evolution, right on the PA border and http://www.excessivemotorsport.net/ both are a bit over an hour from where youre at.....

Excessive will take care of you. They are in VA, and I know a lot of stang owners that go there. They worked on my car early on.

I have some questions too, I'm thinking about gears and t-lok, I'm in Annapolis.

Would having a dealer do the install keep your warranty intact? Would make it worth the drive to Bel Air if it did.

Anyone have a ballpark, parts and labor, I'd be looking at for 4.10's and t-lok?

Your rear end would not be covered under warrenty if you do this. I've talked a handful of shops, and got the following for what you are looking to do:

-Gears & bearings, shims, etc: $200
-Tlok: $180-200
-Labor: $300

$900 bucks for this job is a bit high for an experienced shop btw.

Most reputable mustang shops charge $700. Are you sure Evol quoted you a ford tlok or a detroit tru trac or something like that?

That sucks, I was under the impression that ford parts put on by a ford dealer kept the warranty intact. It's still something I'll probably do down the road, though. I'm not a fan of an open rear end.

Why would it void your warranty? If you are putting ford parts in? Ford dealership here say as long as they are ASE certified, your warranty is still good.
