I hate it when low bid gets the contract!

Smart man. I never go with the lowest bid.
Never ever. Low bid means cut corners. No thanks.

Austin Drive Train on 183 and 35 does good work, or I have a cousin that use to work at drive train that would do the work for cash im sure he needs it.

Austin Drivetrain quoted me like 1100 for install and purchase of the carrier. So thats why I was like nah forget that.

When I installed my carrier, installation directions told me to put a couple manual revolutions on the new setup, then recheck the backlash. It actually changed a couple times by quite a bit. Takes a little longer to do it that way, maybe they just threw it in and checked it once. Guess it has to seat itself in there just right.

or, they effed up.

I was just kidding. I deal with specs and bids everyday. Inside joke. I don't want dirty hands from throwing mud

[zeake]

not really. low bids can be less overhead. I do side work and im lower then most since i dont do it for a living and dont have as much overhead as someone larger. does that mean the guy with a higher price can out perform my work? no it doesnt....its more of a reputation for work then what cost is

There are few exceptions to this. You are certainly one of them. So is the Master Tech that put my supercharger, rearend, transmission, gauges etc etc etc. He just happens to be on my payroll and a good friend that would rather tinker with my crap than waste money on his own.

In my Area its 350+ parts to set up gears.. 400.00 if i have to put every axle bearing and seal in the unit.. Detroit TrueTraK 400.00 to the door.. so your looking the the 750-800 range... What type of locker did u have them install?... What you paid is about right for Just installing a Posi.. But I cant do it for that ...
