$800 is either using used parts, or stolen parts. And first thing I want to know is does your buddy have the proper bearing pullers, pinion depth tools, press and dial indicators as well as a set of setup bearings for both axles.? And does he have much experience with Dana axles? cause without that almost $2000 worth of tools he will be guessing, and have to replace the bearings at least once getting it setup and then if he does it right will need to replace all the bearings again.
Prices? here is some from Randy's ring and pinion for your viewing pleasure to figure out it's going to cost you a whole lot more then $800, that price has to be labor only
$293 for the front http://www.ringpinion.com/ProductDet...px?ProdID=3710
Do the math that is $879 and doesn't even include the fluid
Just offering that low of a price would make me question his "knowledge" I won't even touch a Dana Diff for less then $250 MINIMUM each. You might want to reconsider or make darn sure that is everything with new parts or run.
