$250 for the labor to do a gear swap? Just gears..or axle and differential bearings too?

Do you have a master install kit. What gear you going to? GM gears or which brand?

Where do you live? My buddy works at a dealership and is allowed to all the side jobs he wants, he does all my stuff. Very cheap.

thats not bad at all, my buddy paid $300 labor to get some 4.10's in his gt. Do the pump yourself, cut the trap door and it will take less than a hour from start to finish to do the swap and its easy as hell, or at least in was in my ls1

Hell yeah, trap door method is great. Then you always have a nice access panel to the pump.

I paid $800 for a rear end rebuild at a shop. GM gears, GM rebuild kit+labor. I say $100 is a damn good deal, if it is done correctly.
