I am thinking about getting some 4.10s for my Mustang as a Christmas present to myself and I was wondering for those of you that have them and had them installed by as shop, how much were you charged for labor? I just want to get an estimate before I jump the gun.
Yeah, have them done by a pro. The '05 rear end seems to be very picky. I know mine had to be torn apart and reshimmed about 10 times to get it just right.
I paid $420 for labor only. The shop rates around me are $90-$100/hr. So that's not shocking to me. The 8.8 is a lot more involved than the 9-inch. The shop I used is well known for 60's muscle car fab work, so I had confidence that they would get it right. And WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The 4.10 moves the torque band right where it should be. That's the first mod anyone should make. Do it now!
