The truck is going in for sure Thursday to get 4.56s installed. its gonna cost me a fortune. gears and install kit alone is gonna cost $550. then another $50 for fluid. $400 for labor (i feel thats a fair price, this guy has been doing rear ends for over 20 years and really knows his stuff). then after tax its gonna cost around $1100 just for the one axle!

sorry guys, just had to rant there for a minute. you 1500 owners could probably get gears and an LSD for that price, if not better. oh well, i guess you gotta pay the bigger bucks to own a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.

 

holey bajesus batman!! i cant even imagine what mine would cost...sheesh, mine would be 1100 in just parts not including the lockers i want lmao

 

for once i'm glad i have a 4x4... i could get gears front and rear, and a DTT for not much more than that...

 

the only company that makes stuff for this rear end is American Axle. so i guess when you have no competitors you can charge whatever you want.

 

got that torque converter and cam in yet

 

still waiting on the tq verter, just ordered it this weekend, and its the holiday season. so who knows when that is gonna get here. then ordering my 260 right after the holidays. i cant wait! then i gotta start saving up for headers, fastman tb, and E-fan.

 

holy $hit man! youre outa control!!
that truck is gunna rock... i see a TOTM in the future...

 

this should tell all you young guys out there something..... if you know how to properly manage your finances, the military actually pays you very well. that and big fat bonus checks after 4 years really help with the mods.

 

lol yeah bonuses are pretty sweet, none in the construction field tho....but my ol lady sure gets em n she like puttin stuff into the truck as much as i do..

 

I paid 450 for my Auburn LSD, Motive 456s and Motive master kit and paid 250 to have it all put in. I got lucky.

Those are good mods and well worth having.

2500s rock BTW. I wouldnt mind having on and 4wd
