So annoyed..

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.

yea true haha. just breaks 99.99 brake special is not one of them. they use $8 brake pads. you can rub them on your finger to wear out the pad.

I hate it when low bid gets the contract!

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

I was thinking the same thing. I was like hey 680 aint bad at all for an install.. PLus MELISSSSAAAAAAA referred me to them

what brand gears? depending on gears they will howl. cheap gears do this

well they were my stock gears he was using. He was just installing the carrier

I'd bet on the crush sleeve as stated above. you'll see lines on the ring gear from the pinion walking in and out if this is the case.
check the magnet when they open it up to see how much metal there is. check the bearings by wiping the rollers w/ a clean red shop rag. if you see tiny little shiny specs on the rag the bearings are on their way out.
oem gears cost a little more but they are strong and quiet.

am I going to have to 'baby' the rearend after I get the new gears installed?

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.

[Timmer1]

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.
