Posi was $460, gears were $350!!! , axle bearings, the installation kit (shims/gaskets), seals, oil, additive, misc shop fee and the $450 labor charge was more than I thought it would be, but they did at least thoroughly wash the whole housing inside to eliminate any metal particles because they warranty their work.
I guess the price differences are the difference between cost and list price. Most shops charge "list price" so they can make profit on parts as well as labor.Comment

Ouch! I need to go change the fluid in the end of my truckComment

I did my 500 mile service last night.
- impact wrench on 5/16" cover bolts? Jeez guys! I had to use my 1/2" ratchet to get the cover off.
- lots of glitter in the oil... Googling, that seems common...But it sure is ugly.
- why did they remove my magnet from inside the cover? Should I ask them, or not worry about it since they warranty their work?
...I mean it didn't fall off in 33 years or when the locker exploded... Why remove it?Last edited by yellomalibu; January 17, 2017, 09:54 AM.Comment

$1600 !!!! Man that's painful ! I'd just stick ot back on .Previously HoosierL98GTAComment

$1600 does leave a dent in the savings account, but when presented with these kinds of pains, I usually remind myself of the price of a new one, that axle was less than 4 payments on a new equivalent truck, and the insurance/registration would be more on the new truck too. Feel better now?
There's always something new to learn.Comment

Yep. It was just over 3 payments of the last truck I bought.
...It was also more than I paid for this truck, but I'm sticking with the " cheaper to fix it " mindset.
One of the "big three" down. Engine and transmission are the other two.Comment

put the magnet back in.... uber important - especially since by the time it does blow up others will have sued the shop out of business..Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment
