Default Installing gears?

I want to get some 4:10 gears. I need to know of any good places to take my truck that is not too expensive but does a good job. Or if anyone of you are willing to help me out, that would be great too. Thanks!

Not to rag on HPE, but I have heard that they charge too much and there work on rear ends is not the best.

I paid less a little than $700 including parts and labor. They the do good work and stand behind what they do. I can tell you that from working with them. Call them.

My 10 bolt has been standing up to 1.6 60's on slicks.



Now I have n20 and a th350 so it will probubly break. That will be no one's fault but my own for not upgrading to a 12 bolt.

I guess the cost in not horrible. I am going by one person's experience with them. I know Grey that works there, so it would be no problem.

just make sure you tell the dumb **** that is installing them you have an eaton because he might not open his eyes and see the cluch packs and springs in there. o and make sure you dont need your truck for for a day and a half.
