Angry What WAS going to be a simple gear install!

Well last friday i went and dropped off my car to have my new 3.90s installed, only to get a call two hours later telling me that my carrier was cracked all the way around. OHHH the lovely 10 bolt....HAHAHA. What i thought was going to be a $600 parts and labor job turned into a $1100 job. I never in my life thought i would spend $1100 on a 10 bolt but i really had no choice at the time. Well after a week later i am glad to have my car back and i think i am going to love the gears, no more bucking at normal speeds. Well here are some pics of the old carrier and then the new parts that went back in.

Wow I have never seen that before, That is one of the coolest thing I have ever seen. Look at the bright side, at least your car didnt leave you stranded at the track.
