So in regards to my 8.8 rebuild and 3.73 gear install, JBA quoted me at 570 for the labor...does that sound right?

I've heard about 400 for install of gears...would a rebuild really cost 170?

No I have the parts. I have the rebuild kit AND the gears. They quoted me just on the labor.

Labor for my Rear end Build was $300. It ended up being about $600 with Parts and Labor....I Had a Auburn LSD and 3.73s installed.

Are you guys sure that you're including the labor estimate for the rebuild? There is another topic in this forum where people are talking about paying 800 for a rebuild.

I need both the rebuild AND the gear install.

everyone i call in RI and MA, is between 4-500 bucks installed with parts out the door. 90% of the shops will charge more if you dont use FRPP parts, its easier to install ford parts than to use Motive gear's junk parts or yukon or richmond.

My quote for 250 was to install all new bearings including axle bearing, rebuild clutch pack and install 4.10's

I'm in MA. I paid 175 for my gear install. It was about 8 years ago though!

570 is taking the piss, and you need to tell him that.

i fully think gear install prices are dependent on the area. around here, average shop rate is about $100 an hour.

And it doesn't take more than 2 hours so $200 seems about right if you supply all the parts.

Call up CE Racing in Milford, MA. They charge $200 given you supply gears, oil, friction modifier, and it will be done within 2 hours.

That price seems more like it

I couldn't see paying over $300 for the rebuild/gear install though every area does differ when it comes to pricing.
