I was just quoted as $225 for parts and labor on changing my 4.11's to the 3.42's i have. Is that a reasonable price, or would it be in my favor to cahnge it out myself? I really cant stand the rpms i am at on the highway and the horrible gas mileage i get. Thanks guys.

 

A local shop here in Raleigh quoted me $200 for labor. That quote sounds about right.

 

What gears are you running?

 

only place i can find thus far charges $350 and i have to supply all parts and fluids. are you guys going to small specialty shops? i think i have to look around more...

 

If that is indeed for parts and labor, sounds like a hell of a deal. Parts alone have to cost the shop near $225. You sure that quote includes parts? $200 is about average for labor to install a gear set, parts not included.

 

He said he already has the 3.42's so I was under the assumption it was just labor.

 

What i mean by parts is the gaskets etc.. i have the gears already. Is that what you are referring to?

 

My fault. Didn't see that you already had the 3.42s. $225 is a fair price for the install.

 

Sounds fair to me i would charge you $250.00, but I hate doing gear swaps. It can be a PIA.
