Gears & Axles - Cost to rebuild stock 10 bolt

i got a bad axle bearing on the passenger side of my T/A. since i need to get it changed, i figure i better go ahead and change all the bearings, seals, and anything else needed. I will also be gettin a better diff cover. what is the cost for the parts, and what would the typical labor cost be? id like to do it myself, but IDK if i can. also, if my axle is shot cause of the bad bearing, what axles should i upgrade to, or should i stay with stock?

go with a 12 bolt if you got cash to splurge

save your money and get a 12 bolt, but if you want to keep the 10 bolt, you can get moser axles and diff cover. as for rebuilding the stock 10 bolt you could spend about 400-500. thats why I would reccomend the 12 bolt.

itll break again trust me.


yes theres claims of 10 bolts holding up under alot of power but theres alot more breaking with stockish power.

its not a matter of it holding up. i have to get it fixed soon, this mf is howling like crazy(passenger wheel bearing). i just want to fix it up good enough to last me till i can come close to affording a 12 bolt.

You should be fine with the factory 10 bolt beings it's an automatic. I don't know what it would cost exactly to have it rebuilt but you can buy good used ones for around $300 so I wouldn't pay anymore than that for it.

sometimes not everyone can afford to get a 12 bolt or 9". Sometimes your gonna have to put money into something to get you by till you can afford something else...im in that boat...for now ;)
