    Wow. But you had front and rear done.. right? Us prerunners only need to worry about the rear.. guessing about 1/2 that?

    more like 800 for install .. 400 each front and rear .. my parts were about 600, then tax on the whole thing.

    plus, they gave me a fresh alignment for free :D



    Right - front AND rear AND factory rear locker.

    They had two guys attack it and it took about 3-4 hours (plus 45 minutes to drive to Toyota and get a new axle seal that they broke)

    8 man hours for $800 seems pretty reasonable to me.
    EDIT - my old company charged $125-150/hour for the IT services I provided to our customers - so this was a deal from my perspective as I have little auto-mechanical skills.

    more like the first 500-1000 miles....you drive the truck for 20ish minutes to let the gears heat up then stop, let them cool down and keep doing that
    Do not drive over 40-50mph

    Even ask monkeyproof :thumbsup:

    wtf really? that would need some careful planning to not exceed those speeds for 1000 miles.

    mall crawl anyone?
