ZL1 Versus GT500

My "friend" charged me 800$ to rip my rear end apart and put it back together. I payed for parts. He just did the labor. The gears are junk that he sold me... and this is what i got back. This is at 50mph

Damn Evan.....sucks about your rear. Wish you lived closer so I could set it up for your. Good gear guys are hard to find for some reason.....and $800 is way to much for labor on a 8.8. Those things are cake to set up.
Did you keep the shims as a set with the 3.73's? If so just pop them back in. It's not hard to do that. No set up required.

He originally used the bearings off the 3.73s. So they dont have the shims still on them. And the gears are just junk. He told me they were after he drove it. But then said he was gonna charge me again to put the 3.73s in. I paid him half and took my car. I know what things cost to have done. 800$ is a laughable joke.

Anytime I change a gearset on my own cars I keep the oe gears/shims together just in case I tear it up I can just put the oe **** back in w/o issue.

I hear ya... unfortunately I dont know whats been changed or used. I have all new bearings in the rear, a diff carrier then stock, and a diff gear set. I have JUST the stock 3.73 gears. Im gonna have another friend install the original gears. Im hoping they will mesh well. I wont dare try gear slapping it myself without any tools to do it right. Hes just gonna have to take the time to shim the pinion and carrier again

Did it always sound like that or did it start after some hard launches?
My guess would be either the pinion but backed off or the crush sleeve collapsed. I've started using shims instead of crush sleeves on 8.8's that are going to be beat on.
