Can anyone get a good deal on a Detroit??

I need this part# 187C-145A

Here's the cheapest that I've found it.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...sid=p1638.m118

The local shop (whose already raping me for $80/hr for the 4.56/locker install) wants $625 for it....$75 more than that ebay listing.

Just wanted to see if anyone her, whether it be a member or a vendor, could find me a better deal. I NEED a full carrier replacement locker.

look on pirate4x4.com in their vendor section. Send some PMs around to the different vendors and they'll likely be able to hook you up, especially if you are buying multiple items.

he is not busting a mechanic up for what they do for a living. he just thinks it should be done for less. We all have that opinion to give no matter what it is we are paying for.

D44 HP for 4.10s and numberically higher I will probably use 4.88s or 5.13s

30 spline if that matters.
