Default Locker rear install in Lancaster Pa?
Anybody know a good shop to install a Detroit Truetrac LSD in my 01 Chevy Silverado in Lancaster Pa? I have an appointment at the Pontiac dealership to install it on Friday but they want close to $500 for the install and I was hoping someone could do it cheaper. Let me know. Thanks

sometimes its risky to get something like that installed by someone who doesnt know what they are doing.... i like to question them alittle just to see how much they know....it would be a smart move... 180 is VERY cheap....

Kris, that is a very low ball price. I would be suspicious of that one. I can do it but not for $180. What the heck man, you're making the big bucks now
