Need help

Hello every one. I know it's not the right forum but can you help.
About 1 month ago I had some rear end work done on the 08 F 450. They replaced a carrier bearing and a part of the eaton locker. At the time they said ever thing else in the rear end was good INCLUDING THE RING AND PINION GEAR. They had to re do all the shims and every thing in the rear end. Now 2,000 miles later the rear end is making a whining noise and I brought the truck back to them. Tonight I talked to them and they say it needs a new RING AND PINION FOR $1,800. How can a rear end go bad in 2,000 Miles????????

Sorry if I seem pissed but I am about to loose it.

Do you guys think that they messed up when they put it back together.
Nick

AGREED, they did not space the ring and pinion enough, or to much. Good Luck with this Nick. this happened to me once, and I got no where with it, I reported it to the BBB but still nothing came from it.
