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 ...
Now I'm just worried that with them putting in new gears and HOPEFULLY a new install kit, that they arent gonna set those right either. I'm tempted to just ask them to ship me the new gears and install kit and get someone else to do it.

id let them do it, and ask for somthing for your trouble, somthing you need.
definately pissed off right now. I got the truck back last friday. The guy said he did four heat cycles. I did one or two on the way home. Ive been babying it ever since I got it friday. Saturday and today it was on jack stands while I raised my truck back up to a 3/6 drop. Drove it to austin, and the noise is starting to come back. This is the biggest pain in the ****ing ass ever. I think im going to drop the truck off at austin drivetrain sometime this week. I wonder if I should wait about 300 more miles, change the fluid and see if the noises go away..

Not going to happen dude.... Noise is Noise... It isnt going to go away unless its low on fluid....
did they change the shims when they put in the new carrier or just reuse the ones that were in there? that would be the wrong way to do it. i paid 200 or 300 to have my gears and posi installed here in houston. zero noise with my genuine gears
old mod list: H/C/I/N/E/G 408
new mod list: 5.3, gears/posi, mufler and tune : (
well when I was under the truck doing the shackles.. I saw some fluid marks where it looked like it had been flung onto the under side of the truck. SHould I just finish up with the babying of the gears, then change the fluid and see what happens?

Not sure about shops around you but if you're willing to make a drive to Houston there's a guy here who does great work. He did my Eaton posi swap and I reused OEM gears. No noise what so ever and he only charged $250.

any puddles under the truck? did they replace the pinion seal? is the rear cover leaking?
