Truck is done, they are saying it took 8 hours, bill is over $600...how is this possible? How does axle replacement+e-brake and brake lines = 8 hours of labor and $600?

Axle ordered...brake lines are probably bad...lots of things are probably bad...this is getting expensive.

About to order the axle...will I need new hydrolic brake lines or any other expensive surprises I should buy first so the mechanic can't hit me with it? Where do I find the right u joints and u bolts and how many do I need?

I think I need new brake calipers all around, those like like they are about to rust right off. U-bolts and U-joints, got it.

No mechanical friends with access to a garage and tools, my life would be much easier if I could find such a wondrous thing. Right now I don't even have a place to do oil changes...without getting in trouble. Here's a question I need to know to avoid a 2nd butt raping, how many hours do you guys...

It is indeed a butt raping as I've found what he's talking about for $300 on ebay. I'm thinking of grabbing an entire new axle from Coleman's for $395 + $130 shipping and asking how much it'll be to throw that in.

Ok, I've been without a truck for a week and 1/2, and now the mechanic says the kit to fix my 10 bolt rear will cost $700, before labor to install it...which is retarded. I'm not a happy camper right now. What would you guys do if you had no car and were at the mercy of a mechanic? I could get...

I'm not sure how big they are, at least 33"...they came with the truck, looks like whoever had it before me did a half-assed job of putting bigger tires/wheels on and a 4" lift, but no upgrade to the front or rear...eek.

I need it to get to work and back, so it sees mostly highway, the plan right now is to fix the 10 bolt, (if possible) and put smaller tires/wheels on it. I'd upgrade the rear if it wouldn't cost any more to do so, but I have a feeling it will.

RE: Re: RE: Just blew the rear in my I'm not sure how bad the damage is yet, they are still tearing it apart to see...hopefully I won't need the whole thing *crunch*

Apparently the tires were too big for the little rear. Spyder gears are trashed, and I wasn't even off-roading it, anyone know a good cheap parts place?
