Anyone have a guy or shop they can recommend to do the rebuild on my front dana 60? I have the parts, and the limited slip to go in it, just need the labor. Axle will be removed and dropped off. As always, cheaper is better, but I also dont want to wait over a week for it.
Fly-N-Hi is the one place I always recommend (I am bias since I use to work there), and since you have all the parts, it should only be about 2-3 hours labor. I would do it for you, but I am with out a press and wouldn't be able to get to it for about 2 - 3 weeks.

Im not in a hurry at all as truck rolls just fine as-is...lol. If your lookin to make a few bucks over a weekend let me know. Pinion bearing is crap, carrier bearings and gears "should" be OK, and needs seals in the tubes.
Changing tie rod ends and wheel bearings/spindles is as far as Im going on axles :rofl:

I would have to track down a press to be able to do the job, and I am in south Chandler. Give he guys at Fly-N-Hi a call and see what they will charge you.

Looks like the quotes around $350 labor. Didnt get ahold of Fly-in-hi (seems they dont like to answer the phone), that was desert rat.

Finally got this done last week at a local Desert Rat. $350 labor, and a screw-up on their part was quickly acknowledged and the job was done twice. I cant say anything bad because they fixed the mistake for free and so far no leaks or weird noises.
So now that the 4x4 actually works and the front has a limited slip, kinda tempted to do some wheelin' soon. Anyone wanna go?

Where? I have been wanting to test out the 4x4 in the new truck, but don't want to go anywhere crazy and beat the sh!t out of the body.
