Title: I need gears installed...
Post by: The_Dealer on March 04, 2012, 09:12:18 AM
Hey guys it's been awhile. Been busy trying to pay for my new tow rig. I have a gm 8.6 out Of my 2011 silverado. I have 4.88's and basic install kit. Anyone in the Macon area do gears? And what would I be looking at spending. Got my km2's on and now it's a dog with the factory 3.27's

Thanks guys

Don't know anyone in macon but im sure there are some good shops.

1 axle gear setup can run $400 to $800 labor depending on the axle and the shop.

2wd truck?

If you are willing to make the drive up to Buford, I will do the gear install for you at $300 for the labor.

 Pm me so I can get your information. I have family up there, so would this be something I drop off in the am and pick up in the pm or what? And yes it's 2wd. Lifted it for looks. Bought it to tow my bronco. Did great with the 245's but with the 33's it sucks. I want my power back. I have motive gears, and a Richmond install kit. It's a brand new truck so it don't need bearings and all

Typically a average axle is 2 day install.

 </LMAO/> I think its because of other vehicles getting worked on. Not 2 days of labor. Mine only took them 2 weeks for both axles...


Not their fault though wrong install kits.  :smoke

Our tech who does the install on gears is one of the best.  He takes his time and makes sure it's done right.

I was being facetious above.  That said, I would hope that a guy from out of town who makes an appointment in advance and supplies the correct master install kit and gears could expect to get them installed in one day.  If the parts were wrong then it's the customer's problem of course.

Kurt, I see your point, but I wouldn't promise that to anyone.  There's just too much that can, and will, go sideways.  Also, the tech's have to be able to stop and look at other potential customers issues, consult, advise, etc, to keep new business coming in, so it's not a sterile environment for time and gear setup.
