    Bringing up an old thread..

    I’m scheduled to have my truck re-geared 4.88 Nitro.
    Shop asked me if I want an lsd installed while I’m at it...
    after reading through this thread I still don’t know. Lol

    Shop wants $1700 for the re-gear. That’s everything out the door. Front and rear.
    About $900 more with Auburn LSD..

    Deal? No deal?
    Anyone with an Auburn LSD care to chime in?

    So the Auburn LSD is around 560.00. Why would they be charging you an additional 340 since the carrier has to come out anyway?

    Not a bad price if all parts and labor are covered.

    I see.. yeah. Parts and labor and taxes included.
    If they charging me extra I’m going to pass.. if it’s $550 more for LSD I would do it..

    Hell, it would even be easier for them since you're re-gearing. Bolt new gears on new Auburn carrier, torque and start the gear setup process.

    Ok. My shop wants $1700 with gears and everything installed. So I guess not a terrible price considering everything is more expensive in Cali. Smh

    Yup! Just trying to figure out if I can get the LSD installed for just cost of part.. ideally $2250 otd would be great with gears and lsd.

    Offer them 2300.00 to do the whole job. If not, I might be shopping around.
