I picked up a wagoneer D44 front end for my SAS this weekend and i need to have it regeared to 4.56 to match my rear end. How much does this usually cost at a shop? also does anyone know a good shop in San Diego? Thanks.

I think you can expect to pay around $160 for gears
$100 for the master rebuild kit (carrier bearings, pinion bearing, pinion seal, pinion nut)
$40 for new, open carrier for 4.10+ gears
And somewhere around $100 labor.

So around $400. In norcal everyone seems to go to gearman. That's where I went.

In San Diego there is pro gear in kerney mesa. Also MIT in el cajon. I know with pro gear it was cheaper if you have the axleout of the vecicle then in the vechicle.

cool thanks. currently the axle is sitting next to my house, but i'm hoping to start swapping it in this week.

Does Border parts do installs? I always thought they just sold parts. I don't know how he finds stuff in that place. when I was in there once there was stuff stacked all over the place.
