Advance Driveline is pretty popular in the Orlando area. Not cheap, though.

Kens Performance installed my 4.10s. No issues, no whine, good bunch of guys, Norris recommended them back when I had it done. Located near I-4 and Michigan.
Recommend a TA Girdle too for future ease in gear oil changes.

I didn't know they did gears too! I had them build me a TH400 my my blazer, great guy.

How much did he run ya for the gear install? Advance driveline is like 400$? for a loose axle brought to them...AND i supplied the gearset.

Yeah, about $400 too, he warranties his parts and work as well for 1 year. The parts need to come thru him though, but he gets good prices on them.

Had him do my timing belt on my Frontier, stealership wanted to charge me about $1000 for parts/labor, he did the job for $450.

He likes CASH $$$$, so that helps bring down the price too

I always work with cash...all my stuff is paid for. 400 is what I recall I paid on my last gear install. I supplied, gears, install kit and lube...

Great shop

They did my 410s. A lot of people complain of whine in their gears. I have had mine for a years, they have seen many hard launches, no noise or issues what so ever.

If your looking for a tranny rebuild as well...Jake Lamotta is who to go to. He is the T56 master around orlando. Got my entire tranny rebuilt with all new syncros, upgraded blocking rings, whole 9 yards and it was done in a day. Still shifts as smooth as butter
