How much should it cost to have a lsd installed? Including the part. This summer I want to get one installed, and I want to know how much I should be paying before I get a estimate that is way too high.

Thanks.

 

mine was $700 for an aftermarket unit and a rear end rebuild when my took a crap 2 years ago so it should be around there maybe a tad more since you don't already have one

 

hmm, I was hoping it would be less, like around $500 but ok.

 

i got a really good lsd i forget the name i think its an auburn or something like that i know the guy at the garage and he said its all they use and that they are great units so that could have raised the cost and i got the whole rear end rebuilt too

 

oh ok, well I guess my best bet is to just call and see what they want. If its out rageous I'm not doing it, but I would really like it.

 

yeah its really nice to have

Is that the one you have playmaker? I'm thinking about getting the Auburn. It's a better unit and since I'm doing it, I want to do it right. How good is your truck in the snow with it? Thats the main reason I want it.

 

you know im really not sure which one it is and i forget if he said auburn or yukon since it was 2 years ago but that is a good one i've heard good reviews about auburn's...my truck does decent in the snow i dont put any weight in the back so it spins pretty easy but it gets around better in 2wd then my jeep with the open diff does

 

Ok cool. Thanks for the info.

 

most gear installs are gonna take 6+ hours of labor to have done, thats why its so much money. You want them to take their time and get all the tolerances done right the first time, otherwise you'll be back with shredded ring and pinions or spider gears.
