    $900 in labor for just the rear? Should be able to get both ends regeared for $900 at a dealer. I would overhaul an entire rear axle (gear and carrier swap, axle bearings and seals, etc.) for less than $300.

    Since the speedo pegged 120, it makes me think something has gone wrong with the output of the tranny. Your VSS is back there and that (along with the cluster) is what tells you what speed you are going.

    Depending on what happened back there, you might be able to get away with just replacing the carrier. Let us know what you find. Post pics as well.

    Wel with it being 4x4 wouldnt the speed sensor be in the transfer case? I know its a diff style truck but in my 86 k10 the speedo cable plugs into the transfer case. Ive HAD to drive it some since the car had a flat and you can hear everthing turning in the rear like ring to pinion gear and like its just spining the carrier so like you said maybe just maybe the unit is bad only but my luck is never that good!

    well i got it apart and looks to be only the locker went bad! its in tons a pices but i cleaned it out and the ring/pinion looks to be unharmed. with xmas coming up and me in the process of rebuilding the th350 for my k10 i dont think i will upgrade to a true trac yet so for now im gona look for a used gov lock to go back in. since im not removing the pinion it will ot be too bad correct? check pattern now then make sure to get backlash set right and same pattern when i set back up? anyway here is the carnage

    Might have been said already but swap your hole front diff for a junk yard 4.10 unit. They are cheaper than a new set of gears and installation is much cheaper. Then get the tru trac with 4010 rears
