Surely that wasn't from Ron's, site sponsor here.
That must be with instal? Even then it's high. I bet Ron's would run $500ish and install from a reputable shop less than $500 labor.Quote:

The value trac would be good on your truck and cost around 500 like stated.
dont buy Yukon or Richmond gears whatever you do, unless you wanna listen to them whine. yes i know Motive and Richmond are the same now, but they are still making them on their own separate machines.
an Eaton posi, g2 gears, install kit, oil and labor runs about 1100-1200 at the shop.. if Rons quoted 685 for all that, you should have about 950 total in it, installed.
I'm going to talk to the guy at my muffler shop and see if he can do gears, he said he does about everything and he stands behind his work.
I have had Yukon gears for over 40,000 miles now and I have never heard them whine one bit.. I beat the ever living hell out of my truck too.Quote:
