I would suggest a call to Brewer Brothers in Canaan, CT. Haven't re-geared with them so not sure on labor costs, but they'll be taking care of some warranty work for me this weekend. Guys down there were super friendly and very helpful. Seemed like they'd be very reasonable on most work. Good luck!

Not a problem. I used to work at a suspension shop in D.C and I called back there and asked if they would recommend a shop in CT. Josh was just the guy who answered the phone when I called. By no means was I saying go with that shop. I was trying to let you know that you dont have to spend $1900 bucks for gears.

One other sugestion. I am from OR and I did my first set myself. I went down to the local community college and talked to the auto instructor. He agreed to help me put them in. It worked out for both of us, The shop was able to work on a a newer truck then what they had before and now I know how to properly install gears.

But let me tell you gears are probably one of my favorite mods to date!!


Welcome to the northeast.... If I had ORE within even a few hours drive I wouldn't hesitate, but it is what it is. And I agree with you about being one of the best mods.
