I'm having a detroit locker installed in my truck soon, and I'm wondering if I'm getting a good deal or not. I think it is, but I'd like some comparison.

For $1200, I'm getting:

The axle pulled from the vehicle and dropped in the parts washer
New seals and bearings all around
New 3.55 ring & pinion (old one's light by a few teeth)
Detroit locker & installation

Basically a complete axle rebuild, with a detroit locker thrown in.

Like I said, I think it's a decent price, but I wanted to make sure.

Thanks!

 

I was quoted $1250 for the same thing except with new 4.56 gears. They said $550 of it was the Detroit locker. That's how much they are through the online guys so I thought it was a fair price too. I may add about $200 to the job by replacing the axles since I have almost 200k on them.

 

Sounds about right to me if you can't do it yourself. (No slam, I paid 675 bux to have the rear end on my vette set up)

 

I have no problem admitting I can't do this myself.

Thanks for the replies!
