200-300 in Ohio..
200.00 would be if no bearings need replaced.
I havent heard of a price higher than 300.00 around here.
I checked with Dayton 5.0, they have a gear, installation, and fluids package for around 400.00! I guess that wouldnt help you, since the cost in gas would be higher than you would save...But just a thought.

Gear installs are expensive. Out here at least. Most shops start at $700 and go up from there.
I was fortunate enough to find and have mine installed (along with new axles and diff) for $350 out the door.
So, it's really not too bad of a price, but remember you get what you pay for.
Edit: This link overviews gear installation, and might make you consider paying someone to do it for you. I wouldn't take it to a shop with just any regular joe mechanic either:

That's for a V6, but the concepts are the same.

the price really depends where in the country you are. here the cost is usually a minimum of $600 and usually around $1000.
i plan on doing mine myself, but i have all the tools, i have complete instructions from alldata, and i will have guys helping me that have done them before.
you know how on the tv show trucks he has the level of difficulty scale. i would say gears are on the hard level. they are easy if you have done them before, but if you have never done them before i would highly suggest not taking on the project yourself.
also make sure they do everything, all bearings and seals as well. and consider getting studs and a cover with braces.
