Need advice!!!
As for the carrier being too wore to get a good pattern it really has no parts to wear out besides the damn bolt holes where the ring gear attaches. Hell even a busted posi unit will install and be able to make good tooth pattern. As for used gears not being able to be setup properly that is bullshit too you just have to install a little tight to make up for wear that has already occurred on the face of the teeth. Once again I call bullshit and say burn this shop owner he is just taking you for a ride

thanks, i was just makeing sure. i will give an up date later on to day i would bet money that he wants me to buy a new carrier, gears and labor tghough.
Sounds like you got bent over. $1400.00 and you supplied the parts? Took 4 weeks? Noisey Differential?
This job takes literally 3-4 hours to complete. If you drive in and drive out with all new parts including axle shafts you are about that price! Something is definatley wrong with this picture.

no not yet he told me to bring it back in when i go back offshore and he is going to re-check the pattern and re shim it if needed but hes still telling me i will need a new carrier.
could he have got gears for the wrong series carrier?

Whats his damn number i will call them and tell them there full of ****. Ive never heard of any one being charged that much just to install gears. This really pisses me off because one time i took my 93 to a guy to have the tranny rebuilt and gave him 900 bucks and when i got it back the damn tranny still slipped. lol Im its ok tho when i get my hands on some dynamite i will even the score.
