the guy I had in mind wants $850 to put 4.10's in my truck. The gears only cost $220. Axle is Chry 8.25.

gears- $220
install kit- $85
bearing and seal kit- $13
shop rags, ect- $13
shipping everything to the shop- $35
labor- $450

Is that in line, or out in left field?

 

Labor will usually always be near $400.

 

Kinda depends where your at and who you have do it. My buddy had his done in his ram for 200.00 labor didnt take the guy long at all. I think 400 sounds a bit high but ok as long as he knows what he is doing.

 

It was $850 total. Just freaked me out...$800 to put in $300 of gears/install kit.

 

Well according to alldata, the standard time it take to replace gears is 3 hours. So if he wants $450 that's like $150 an hour. A stealership would not charge you $150 an hour I wouldn't think. You might want to look around for a better price.

 

if you go to airrams site you can look under their gear install and it says 450 bucks i think and thats in DFW. look on their site, you might get a good deal there. gears and install included/.

 

airram only shows for dana 30 and 9.25, nothing for the 8.25

 

my thoughts exactly.

oh, maybe give him a call. not sure his site is 100% updated.

 

guy that quoted $850 says he uses nitro gears, and he could have it done same day if I dropped my truck off the night before or first thing that morning.
