I blew up my rearend and the shop i take my car to wants $1100 to fix it. Does the price seem to expensive? The total price includes everything inside the rearend.

get a itemized estimate showing dammaged parts and replacement part prices with labor costs and post in thread i believe we can help you better with this info. did you break an axle, pinion or ring gear ect... why does everything need replacing something should be salvageable when you say everything do you mean ring&pinion traction lok and axles? you might be better off calling some salvage yards and buying a salvage axle and installing it yourself it isnt too difficult if you decide to buy a salvage axle we can inform you how to do that? i can also tell you a second opinion is your best friend. well thats a little of my advice back to the top of the thread list. and good luck.

That is too much.... mustangs unlimited has rear ends for $800ish i think that only need axles and gear oil... taht will run you $100 assuming you need the axles... and at that it is a ford rear end with any gear you want...

Of course, you'll pay a little bit in labor to remove the existing unit and bolt up the new one, but as said above, definitely better money spent going with a new one. The fact that you can get brand new FRPP gears in the new unit is icing on the cake.

Let us know what you decide and what the costs ended up being.

On a side note, if you're intersted in 31 spline stuff, now may be a good time to go that route.

Here is what mine jsut cost me.

Detroit TruTrac---$489 shipped
Moser 31 splines--$289 shipped
3.73 gears-- not damaged or changed.

I installed everything so labor cost was nothing but some skinned knuckles and a few choice words.
