When you get your truck back, can you tell me what your guy used as far as replacement parts? The Auburn stuff sounds like it could be another headache...

i would definitaly say thats to much i got quoted 950-1000 for a complete rebuild of the rear. i wanted the auburn but the guy at the shop talked me into what he uses. he said he's been using them since he opened and has rarely had anything fail. i forget the brand name but he gets the parts from a performance shop. haven't gotten the truck back yet but i will this weekend coming up ill post up everything they did and the final cost. im in pa so i cant help you with shops but i would def look around at different ones.

The only compalint I've heard about them is that when they fail, you have to replace the whole diff. Since the truck has 118,000 miles on it already, I really don't think it's going to hold out long enough to need another new differential.
