That's unfortunate. Terry can do them, but there was also a pre-existing local shop. Pride and Joy has done several sets of gears for the club over the years w/o issue, and they are on prices fork road.

I asked the guys at Price's fork to do it -- they pretty much refused. They said they were "Getting away from doing differential work."

I had fun in Charlotte anyway....but I'd rather support the locals.

well if they're getting out of it, i need to invest in some high dollar tools and a shop down here!!!!

Pride and Joy is way out in McCoy, not Prices Fork.

Hey, just letting you know the sooner the better, I don't have exams to take anymore so I am gonna be heading out sometime at the begging of exam week. (starts the 3rd)

alright man, pull the axles out of the D44 and the knuckles if you are going to, pressure wash them both so i dont have to charge you for cleaning up. pull the 9 chunk out and wash it. spray them both inside w/ WD-40 and lemme know when i can come get em, i'll try to start them this week, tyler got me the wrong R&P for his D44 and i can push him back a few weeks to get yours done. my #'s (276)768-7711 if you need anything!

Ok, I already have the dana 44 down to the housing and carrier only (just primed too so its clean). I will clean up the 9 inch third and hit em with the Wd today. I can bring them to you at advance tomorrow if that works for you

works for me, i work 4-9pm. you've got all the rebuild kits or is this just putting in new R&P's and seals?

Just R&P and seals along with some lockers. Aussie lunch box up front and a full case detroit in the rear witht he bearings already pressed on

any body know where to buy differential tools from??? i'm needing a good pinion/differential bearing remover and spanner set....

Randy's Ring & Pinion...

Hey Terry, I ordered a new carrier that should be here mid next week and I actually won't be leaving town untill the 6th. I hope that enought time for you to get it done

i think it will, i've got to get some stuff made this weekend to assist/expedite the installations of D44 stuff from here on so, it'll give me a chance to test it!

Tyler, i've got your stuff in my jeep, i'm gonna drop it off at cody's tomorrow evening.

Pricing for anyone who's interested right now.

R&P set up $100
Locker install $50 (unless it involves a full locker $75 for that)
General Overhaul (new bearings/seals) $100

prices are for axles w/ shafts/knuckles/spindles (as the case may be) removed. the less i have to do, the less you pay. if i have to pull the axles/ect/ect then it'll cost more since it'll take more time. i can also build custom brake lines (metal) to help with custom installs. (see verticleTRX's front lines on the '79) also, the cleaner the better, dont like to have to scrape mud outta a diff housing


HIT ME UP YA'LL!!!!!

terry, would you be up for some motor work? i need to replace my blown plenum gasket with the Hughes kit.
