They were all flogged out so they both had to go, but looks like they can be repaired.The diff is costing me $4000 plus all the mounts and rubbers etc.EDIT: This is what my diff looked like, it came out literally like this - the mechanic hasnt pulled apart a thing.The 9 inch conversion was really starting to push the $$$ mark too high, it got up to around $9,000 and that wasnt everything included, and I think there was labor on top of that, but I cant remember, I didnt pay much attention to that quote.My current quote is for a billet centre with 3.4 gears, have to get my axles/cv's rebuilt and all new bushes, rubbers and mounts - total bill for that is around $7,000....

Gives you an excuse to build a bullet proof one anyway.

Moose Member 185 Member For: 17y 29d Gender: Male Location: Ipswich, QLD Posted 24/06/09 02:27 AM Author Share Posted 24/06/09 02:27 AM About 320rwkw give or take. Was coming out of a set of lights, wasnt exactly getting up it, but wasnt going slow (no tire spin) and when I shifted into 2nd it just happened - so about 60k's I guess?Prices are getting cheaper, now down to $6,000.that's not standard parts either, that's stronger, beefier parts.
