4.10s on Tuesday :)

Novanutcase · March 31st, 2011, 01:27 PM

Check on CL and see if you can find a credible mobile mechanic to do it. Gears aren't that hard to do and it shouldn't take them more than a couple hours to R & R them if they do know what they are doing. I found a real good mechanic off of CL and whenever I need to do something major that I don't feel comfortable doing or don't have the tools, I call him and he get's it done quick. My gear install cost me $120.

I actually found a shop that will do everything for 200 bucks. He claimed on the phone that he had done hundreds upon hundreds of rearends. That he was one of the best around for the best price. He also told me that he backs up his stuff which I would expect...it's a shop. And when I told him I was gonna do more calling around, he said that I'd be hard to find anything better. It was weird. Everywhere else I called wouldn't go below 400 bucks and was up to 600 but this guy was so cheap. Do you think it's safe to go ahead and let him work on my car? I wasn't planning on paying what these other shops want.

if the guy says he will back it up if anything goes wrong i would go with him. when i had my 4.10s done the shop charged me $350 and that included the oil and tax and he also installed more bearings i had him installed a rebuild kit. gears came out awesome no noise at all.

Mustang_Girl_32 · March 31st, 2011, 06:28 PM

That's kinda what i'm thinking. Do you guys have your speedometers recalibrated or leave them because he has to get one from his buddy from the ford dealership he said and it would be extra which wouldn;t bother me i guess.

MikeJones · March 31st, 2011, 06:30 PM

You don't absolutley need too. But you'll be off a bit

Mustang_Girl_32 · March 31st, 2011, 06:35 PM

Alright depending on his price on that..I'm gonna think about what I'm gonna do. My brother may be able to borrow it from ford..then take it back..idk though.

your speedo will be off more than a bit I dont remember the exact mph it was off but when I picked mine up after getting the gears done I checked it with the gps and it was way off. No explaining that crap to a cop when you get pulled over. Dont just leave it you want the exact mph you are going to be displayed on your speedo unless you are on sections of the autobahn where that doesnt matter. A handheld tuner would handle the recalibration. Plug and play takes like 50seconds if you have a tuner and a shop Shouldnt charge alot for it being that it takes less than a minute to plug in and change that on the computer.

your speedo will read 80 when ur going sixty. on the roadtrip i went on after i had them done, we tested it out and my buddy and i stayed side by side and it was at least 15 mph off. it was tricky not to speed so i just followed him cuz i didnt wana get pulled over

Mustang_Girl_32 · April 1st, 2011, 11:03 AM

Is say it would be best for me to get it recalibrated.

Nightmare69 · April 1st, 2011, 11:10 AM

I never heard of a break in period for gears. They never tell you at the dealership to take it easy and come back in 500 miles for a diff fluid change. I broke mine in with a 1-2nd gear burnout and havent had any problems.

My opinion is that you should drive the car like you did before the gear swap. If they end up whining it's the fault of the installer.

limited · April 2nd, 2011, 12:49 PM

The proper way to break in gears is to just give them a few heat cycles. Is it absolutely necessary? no, you will be fine. The factory figures most people are not going to be beating there car right off the showroom floor and I bet 99% of new car owners give the gears a quite a few heat cycles without knowing they are doing it.

point is just put them in and enjoy. If they fail, it will because they where installed incorrectly not because of any break in issues
