Just thought I'd share something funny. I got quoted 3850.00 dollars for a gear swap in my 2004 f150. It's 4 wheel drive but come on. That is completely ridiculous and something I would have expected from a dealership. Correct me if I'm wrong, but 1600 should be about right huh? The shop was in the Kansas City area. I don't want to ruin anyones reputation so I'll keep the name on the down low. Am I over reacting or is that as bad as I think?

 

Way high. I got quoted 800+- for just labor.

it would be a good deal if it came with arb air lockers front and rear

 

$3,850 Mine was about $1700 for the complete job (4x4). Did they give this quote with a straight face?

 

Haha mossy I emailed the shop so I couldn't tell you. What's funny is I was referred to them by a VERY good local 4x4 shop. I was asking them about gearing but they said they don't do differential work and gave me this shops email. I didn't even respond to their quote or I would have lost my head.

 

That's crazy. That's double what it should be

 

seems kind of steep!

 

Yeah, my total was ~$1700 as well. Bought front, rears and master install kits from Diffsonly.com and done by a local shop. I went with Yukons...

 

I thought the quote I got today was bad, they want $3000. Still outrageous!

 

That is what I was quoted here in Calgary. Most of the shops here won't touch gears and the ones that do assume I have a money tree in the backyard. That is why I won't ever do the gears.

 

Ouch....that's double the going rate around here...
