4.10 install
 

Anyone got any idea how many hours it takes to install 4.10s on a 2007 mustang gt. I was just quoted 6 hrs by my local ford dealer. Is this fair, thx

My guess is the flat rate would be 5-6 hours so its probably right.

Honestly sounds like a rip off to me, but what do I know. I was charged by a transmission shop 7 hours for 31 spline axles, 31 spline differential, 4.10 gears and a complete bearing/rear end rebuild kit and oil etc. Was about 650 bucks for Everything. I had the parts. :D

A gear swap is really the same amount of labor as an overhaul. Axles come out and everything comes apart. Personally when I do a gear swap I replace the bearings at the same time anyway since I'm already in there.

6 Hours!!! Damn!!! I watched my Ford tech buddy do my '03 GT do it less then an hour once it was on the hoist.

If he's looking for work I have a job for him lol

He works (head tech)/runs his family's Ford dealership, so i think he is alright. LOL

Damn, it was worth a shot

LOL!! Don't blame you.

He is good, honest, and one of the nicest techs you could ever meet.

I paid $1400.00 for a 8.8 Ten axles, Ford racing carrier, carbon clutches, longer bolts, 4.10 Ford racing gears assembled ready to go. My axles were slight more expensive because I have a SN95 length axles in my car.

if all he did was pull the gears and re-use the shim that was on the pinion and replaced nothing else maybe i could see that happening..but thats quick...but im getting old too..lol:D

Yes you are old my friend!! Your LX is still apart after how many years?
Actually, i don't think it's age, more less it's lazyness LMAO!

:LOL::LOL::LOL::tup

Thought he would've been back LOL! :D

He's likely still thinking.... Lol

Or doing other things with his PC while eating a bag of cheezies LOL!

Lmfao

...yes in my crotchless spiderman suit:wink:....but thats another story for a different day:D

Well..... if you even got off that chair to come out sometime, you could maybe tell us about it LOL!
