This quote was just for the ring and pinion. Add a true loc and it was $2400.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

You can buy the parts, buy the tools, read some books, watch some YouTube videos, buy and erect a temporary shelter, if necessary and still come out cheaper than that and have it done right.

I don't intend to spend half that much on my next used axle. It'll have LS, disc brakes, 31 spline axles. Might not be 4.10, but it'll also have a matching front diff and the rest of a 5.0L AWD Explorer attached.

Most used Ranger axles had an easy life and in perfectly good condition, even if a little over due on a fluid change.

Holy crap... if you were closer to pgh, I have a 7.5 with 4.10s I want to get rid of...
talk to me please, I'm right off the turnpike about 4-5 hours west of you.

I assume it's an open diff?

Yeah, came out of my 1996 2.3 4wd I swapped it for a 8.8 l/s out of a 2001.

Yeah, way too much then. My guess is they don't want to do the job but will do it if you bite on the jacked up price to do it.
