Who has had them installed and how much did it cost. I have the money for the gears but need to find out how much more I need to set aside. The gears may just have to sit in the garage for a bit . Did installion price include removal of t case.
Thanks kevin

I have heard install prices from $250 to $700.

The rear end shop in Santa Rosa has awesome prices. Maybe give them a call?

(707) 526-0200

Example:

Rear Locker --- $350 installed
Front Locker --- $400 installed

I got the rear locker done already nead transfer case gears

just giving you an idea of their prices...

lowest I have seen in this area.

Kevin, PM Gary (Olebiker) I believe he found a place in Marin County that would do it.

The guy did mine and Marty's is no where to be found I think. BTW, pulling the t-case is doable, just keep in mind that it's very heavy (a second set of hands would help). Also drain both the t-case and tranny before doing anything, then remove the shifter boot up top, the rest I'm sure you can figure out.

Let me know if you have any questions. BTW, did you have your clutch replaced? If not, you might consider doing both at the same time.

The plan is to do the clutch at the same time. I think my problem clutch master and slave as I changed those out and it seems to be working much better. But Im still going to change the clutch out.

Alright found some one to install them. So they are ordered and on the way. Just gotta save up money now for labor and clutch and then it will be time for a work party .

What's he charging you? I'm trying to get my guy to bite on the $250 as Cyclemutt quoted for the job..

Approx $340 thats with me pulling the tcase I also had some one else who hasnt done it quote the same price. Otherwise $740 with him pulling the tcase. Damm cali just costs to get stuff done in

I received my gears from Calmini tonight. I'm trying to see if I can get Right Gear in Salinas to put them in my case for me. In the mean time I need to get the TC removed from the truck. Any takers on helping me pull my T-Case?

Please let me know what bribes are most effective.

What, No Takers? Well it looks like I'll be doing this by my lonesome then. If anybody has any helpful hints or suggestion on how to get this thing out of my truck please chime in. I would especially like to know how Allen in CO is managing to pull these cases without removing the crossmember. If anybody knows please tell me what magic incantation to use.

RX

rich, when are you doing this? i might be able to stop by, point, and yell a few words...

BTW, no need to pull the cross member, but I do think you need to pull the t-bars (but not the exhuast for sure).

Huey,

Thanks for the offer. Are you available sometime this weekend? I'm hoping to have a gear shop lined up by the end of the week so I can start surgery this weekend.

WORK FASTER!!!

I might be, keep me posted on time and location.

Oh yeah, WORK FASTER!!!

now we just need a third to tell you what to do and it will be a govt. jobber!

Ummm.. be a slacker, procrastinate!!

I'd like to help, but this weekend is not good for me to come out and help... But, stil, post the time and location. I might be able to stop by for a short time and help a little...

Started pulling the transfer case tonight. Then it started to rain again. Hope fully finsh pulling by weds so i can drop it off and start pulling the transmission for the clutch.

Cool Kevin! Get those gears in and come do some killer snow wheelin with me. I cruised up to
foresthill with some buds from work on sunday... perfect powder snow for wheelin.

...What's that? Deep mud pool surrounded by snow?

No, silly, it's the Willy Wonka chocolate pond surrounded by powdered sugar! Sheesh! :rolleyes:

Once again Dean is right And the chocolate chunks left on the pathfinder were delicious

Transfer case is out. I will drop it off tommorrow. And depending on the weather pull the tranny and put the new clutch in. We took the dog up to forrest hill a few weeks ago and he loved the snow.
Kevin

Yeah... You're right... It really does look like chocolate pond...
