with ffrp gears that i will supply does that sounds high

[Gearbanger 101]

I'll say. It should cost you about half that. That's even high if they're the ones supplying the gears!?!

Take it somewhere else...preferably not to a dealer.

[BurningRubber]

Yeah, that is outrageous, lol.

I paid $350 for my install, and that included replacing all the bearings and rebuilding the trac-lok while it was apart.

I supplied gears, bearings, and lube.

It is high, but then again you got a quote from the dealer, which is about normal.

Take it to a performance shop or a 4x4 shop. Normal install pricing should be 200-275ish.

I paid $500 total for mine including me buying the gears, the DMP Speedcal, new bearing overhaul kit, fluid and the labor.

[Silverstang02GT]

I paid just under $800 for my install. that included the gears, install and a diablosport tuner

[Stark77]

WAY HIGH! $600 for gears, master bearing kit, differential rebuild, and labor

[Flghtmstr1]

I paid 370 for labor to have the gears, bearings, trac-lok, and aluminum driveshaft swapped (the aluminum driveshaft install sucks for automatics because you have to swap the yokes).

i'd tell that dealership to take a flying suck at something for that crazy price.

[Stark77]

They'll bend you over - now given that some dealers are better than others - they may not even honor their own work afterwards if you get the whine. 4 X 4 shops FTW!

That is actually a fair "dealership" price. They are going by their hours and hourly rate. It is crazy for someone to go into a dealership to ask for that kind of work to begin with.

[dieselac]

Haha....DONT DO IT!! I paid $100 (plus a car detail) for gears and install. Everyone wants a clean ride!

I probably got the best deal on this board! But try trading services, you never know what you can offer someone, and they need. I always ask people that kind of question first. Call me cheap but it works!

[MyBloodRunsBlue]

i paid 500 for everything (gears,bearings, labor etc...)

[Mach1Run]

wow I paid $300 for parts and labor on mine.

[forum155pl]

I paid 850 for 31 spline axles, a used t loc (rebuilt, having the axle tubes welded, all bearings and seals and labor... i bought the gears seperate oh yeah and he put on a diff cover with the screws on it (girdle i think its called) it even has a drain plug yo!, sandblasted the axle and painted it black.. it lookd brand new!

Same here, MPH did mine back in 2006 and I supplied the gears and bearings.

[shallowreef]

I was gonna get a rear gear put in my car but the three places i called near me all wanted 400+ just for the labor. Which put me around 750 or so for parts and everything. I think some places have more competition than others. Plus i have a lot of rich areas near me so i am sure that has a lot to do with it as well.

HA!!! Gotcha beat. A friend gave me his 3.73 gear and I had it installed at the Ford Dealership for $80....

Dont go to a dealer. A performance shop would be better. I paid 175 at Mustang Magic.

Good idea on the 4x4 shop. A guy I know owns one so when I do mine I would be more than happy to give him the business.

[Notchbck93]

They paid me to do mine... like a Grand just because it was Notchbck93...WTF


I've never seen such a more rediculous response string of what people paid for a service.

Obviously, if you know someone or live out in Oklahoma where the ave person makes 14G a year, the cost to have gears installed will be less than someone who maybe outside a major thriving city.

I have installed all of my own gears on about 6 Stangs thus far and only one required shims to be ordered after checking lash, drive and coast patterns.

A simply, "shop around" post would have sufficed.

Sometimes you can find techs who do side jobs, but beware, just because they are Ford techs doesn't mean they are on the ball. Find a few guys that have already have had gears installed in your area, see how the work has held up, then make an educated decision.

[spederman]

damn dude, where do u live? If ur anywhere near North Texas, the shop here does it for $350 and that includes FRPP 373 or 410 gears and fluid and labor

I feel your pain. I was calling places yesterday to get quotes for the same thing. The cheapest I got was $800+ for frpp 4.10s and bearings (do the Speed Cal myself). Cheapest one for just labor if I supplied everything was $650. I don't even want to think about what a dealer would charge.
