Default Houston Area Gear Installer Needed ASAP

On sunday night my truck made a nasty clicking noise from the rear end it would do it for a while then it would just be fine later on while driving on a road with pot holes it went
I took the rear end cover and i found some carnage of the G80 i think this is time for some 3.73's with an Eaton limited slip locker.
Does anybody know of some good Houston area gear installers?

I've never used them, but I've heard they do good work.

That's a good price. Here's what I paid:

$200 for GM gears
$360 Trutrac
$80 master install kit
$250 for install by a guy running his own shop
$9 for lube

$899 total

That's about as cheap as it gets I believe. So $975 sounds like a very reasonable price.
