what parts do i need and what will it cost...

thanks Brice

 

When you say you're doing it, does that mean you're doing the labor, or you're having it done by somebody? If you have to ask which parts you need, you shouldn't attempt it on your own.

 

lots and lots of lube, and be gental. you dont want to tear anything up!!!


man you really set yourself up for that one

 

Haha. That just reminded me of this. NSFW.

 

well that was kinda nasty!!!!!!!!!!
but i am not doin it myslef i got a mechanic to do for a case of beer and a sandwitch (an old friend of a friend)
i just need to know what to order and what special tools i need and a price

thanks brice

 

www.accuautoparts.com. You'll need a new gearset (obviously), a master install kit, new axle seals and bearings (most install kits don't come with them), gear oil and friction modifier if you have a LS. Will probably run you $250-$300 for parts, but it could be less (or more I guess) because it's an older vehicle.

 

Ls???

 

well i did some callin around and i got this

parts list...for the 3.55
ring & pinnion
bareings
axel seals
crush sleve
and wheel seals... only $189.64
good deal or could i do better off the net??
and did i forget anything??

 

Limited slip. The only thing I see missing from that list is shims. I'm not familiar with your rearend. It's possible that it has adjustment screws, but most liekly you'll have to shim it to get the proper carrier bearing preload. When you say bearings, is that all the bearings or just the axle bearings? There's also 2 carrier bearings and 2 pinion bearings.

 

shims included and ALL bearings
good deal for local???

 

also what is this

ill sell you a rebuilt e40d 750.. about 5000 miles on it. Scrappin the old truck for my 96

 

Brice I think thats a transmission. If im wrong its a transfer case. Im leaning towards my first answer.

 

beets the hell out of me????????????????
its only a 2wd so i dont think it would be a t-case
unless their is somethin i dont know

 

E4OD is a transmission.

But yeah that sounds like a great deal. My gearsets alone were almost $200 each.

 

what are the ratios for that tranny????
