anyone want to tell me of a place that would install a posi unit and gears for cheap? maybe a seasoned veteran on the forum could do it? i dont know. i dont have the special tools and bs. so if someone wants to help a fellow 3rdgenner out that would be great! and im located in phoenix

 

Come on people anyone want to make some cash?!

 

I would have absolutely no clue what I was doing. I paid to have mine done. I think it was $700. But that included the posi, 3.42 gears and all labor.

 

ok well i have a slp take off already and some 3.42 gears. so all i need is the install kit and bearings. i called one place and they said 325 for all that installed. ie they provided the bearings and kit. is that good?

 

james? do you know how? im sure i could figure it out... ive taken one apart before... getting the axle shafts out is the hardest part... its much easier if the rear is off the car?

 

I don't "know" how but anything with instructions isn't that hard to figure out. Getting axle shafts out is a piece of cake.

 

hey. im asking the questions here. can any of you help me out? did i find a good deal? so far i see somebody asking alot of questions that should be asked in the Transmissions and Drivetrain board.

 

yeah, thats what i mean, thats the hardest part... its really not difficult to do...

 

Make the short drive over to Texas and I'll do it for a 12 pack and a Burger

If you decide to do it yourself, make sure you have plenty of Carrier Shims to adjust the BL. Thats the most time consuming part of the whole rebuild.

 

ok i am not doin it myself because i lack the tools completely. and ive heard about all the technical crap which scares me alot

 

yup. adjusing the backlash is deffinately the most time consuming part... you need feeler gagues, actually, a dial indicator works better, but those are EXPENSIVE... its a very time consuming process... if i had the tools, id do it for ya, but.. i dont.. lol i did 15-20 of them in school, but they have the tools, i dont

 

Well that's not a very good attitude when you're asking for help.


I have a mag mount dial indicator. They're pretty useful if you build your own motors, rears, etc... And I don't think it cost *that* much. The price of tools is relative to how badly you need to get the job done.

 

Go for it. $325 isn't too much if you have it to spend. I've seen worse.

 

I'm just trying to get help here. And its kind of inconsiderate when people are getting their questions answered in my post. When my original question is just overlooked.

Thanks. I believe I'm just going with the 325 install. Its at Arizona Differential Specialists.

 

I dont know what gears youre looking for....but Ive got a 2.73 posi gearset Id be willint to install for you. I also have quite an assortment of shims to complete the installation. And if youre wondering, ive done over 10 differentials, I have the correct tools, and im in Glendale. Let me know if you had a price in mind and get back with me.

 

They do pretty good work.
