So a couple weeks ago my rear end started to make some abnormal noise. I put it the shop this past Saturday and was informed today what it's going cost to do a complete overhaul. I was expecting $1,200.00 or under, but that wasn't near the quote I got. I was quoted for a complete rebuild - gears, bearings, seals......... $2,400.00! I have 9.25, 3.92 with the LSD. He told me that when he contacted Dodge about parts they told him that they had discontinued parts for my rear end!? WTF, I don't understand. I asked about aftermarket and he said the parts he was able to track down through sources he has were probably aftermarket that Dodge would sell.
A little background on the shop it's at. Back in June of this year I took my truck over to them to have trans rebuilt, $3,000.00 and a week and a half later... I had my truck back with a fresh trans, shift kit, 1 year parts and labor warranty and she's worked like a top ever since. So by the price, discounts and quality of work that was done the first time - I decided to take it back to them.
I'm getting a break down sent over to me and I'll post them up here for everyone to look over when I get it.
I basically want to here from folks that have been through and do this kind of thing and any other informational input is welcome.
Thanks in advance for any help.
