I gottem a 2000 F-350 2wd crew-cab dually diesel with a std 3.73 Dana rear end.

Has anybody swapped this type of Rear End for a Limited Slip?

I'm looling at swapping the entire rear end, cuz I just got it back from the Dealer telling me the rt rear oil seal has worn a grove in the axle. To replace just the "axle housing" they say: $3k (gimmeabreak).

Just wondering what I may be in for...
(I'd rather have the limited slip if I replace the whole thing).

Thanks in advance.

 

$3000!?!?!??! Holy Jeez!!!! Does he kiss you before he screws you?? California prices are really high, you might wanna plan a trip to somewhere that it cost less and use the savings to pay for the trip

 

An oil seal has grooved an axle? Interesting.

It probably would be cheaper (as well as easier) to swap out the whole thing. You should be able to find a salvage yard rear end for less than $1k. Then it becomes a bolt for bolt swap you could do in the driveway.
