Does anyone know of a good shop in South-Eastern Michigan that does good rearend work? At the end of August I totally blew my posi out at the strip and I am going to just try to rebuild it and add a girdle for a little more strength. I am go I have the rearend dropped out and was thinking of just taking it to a shop when the time comes. (probably mid-march) I don't have the know-how or the tools to do it myself. I am also going to do a gear swap from 3.42s to 4.10s.

Anyone have a suggestion on a shop and a guestimation of what labor will cost to do the ring and pinion and differential install?

 

Call Andy Showerman 517-223-8944.ASE Master tech for a Chevy Dealership.He knows his stuff.Located in Fowlerville MI about 30-45 min from Detroit are.

He goes by Red roc wrench here on the board but he is busy so he does'nt get on here much anymore.

i can rebuild your axle for alot less than a shop. i used to work at DTS and have been rebuilding axles at home for years. just ask around.
if interested call me at," scott" @ 586-801-8046.

 

Andy works out of his home on the side.Did'nt mean to scare anyone into thinking he charges shop prices.

Scott has done mine and he's great, Before you do anything give him a call.

 

i'd also have to second scott...he does alot of work for the guys around here and everyone has been happy with him.

 

Scott just did my gears in my 96 Formula, Quick, reasonable and excellent work. I recommend him.

 

Scott did rearend work for me too. Replaced a posi unit for me. He does good work.

I'll vouch for Scott too! (No offense Andy) He did my 4:10's and they are super quiet!

 

yeah, scott put 3.73's in my IROC THIS PAST WINTER, GREAT,M NO NOISE OR LEAKS, HE DOES GREAT WORK

 

Well i have had my hands in many rear ends, can i put my hands into yours?

 

Sent you a PM yesterday

 

Red5.7,
I'd be happy to help you out with your rear end. If you took it out and brought it to me that would be very easy. Sounds like extra work for you though. It's up to you. You can call me at the above number James gave you. Whenever. If you have Scott do it then that is fine, he sounds like he has a lot of experience also. Which is what you want on something like a read end job. Good luck!

Andy

 

I tried to stick up for ya Drew. Where was Harold and all the other guys when you need them?? Andy is really good but it sounds like Scott is closer to you.I have heard that Scott is very good also and knows his stuff. I had to try to sell Andy though.nothing personal. Sounds like no matter what way you go,your rear will be set up properly.just as long as Scott does'nt get his hands to far up there.Sounds like that would hurt!!J/K

James

 

For some odd reason i haven't been able to recieve PM's. does anyone have any idea what i might be doing wrong?

p.s. call my cell red5.7
