Rear diff rebuild

[fumanchu182]

That is a lot of money in shipping for just a repair. Most people on here can rebuild diffs.I have been a tech since 91. Have way more tools for engines, diffs and transmissions I know what to do with.And with no warranty either way its going to be a hard sale. IMHO you would make more money selling parts to people or at least shops. Shims that are currently used are from a dana 44. Would be nice to have the crush sleeve though.

The unfortunate side of that is that lets say I sell to shops, what prevents them from undercutting me on my own MSRP? It's hard to enforce a minimum price floor unless that shop gets caught and by then it's already too late, damage is already done financially. I am incurring the cost of the relationship, the tariffs, the shipping and the actual product which I have to buy hundreds of at a minimum to get a good price.

@fubar569 yes I plan to reach out to IMS and let them know we no longer have to cannibalize clutches but that won't happen till I have the ink dry. We just assembled a IMS in house doing this and it was a PITA. So here is some tech info 1 friction/2 steels is the normal, this is stacked twice on one side. This is considered a 40% LSD. What is instructed by billet or can be done with the ZF is to stack it twice and make it an 80% lsd.

So do you ever see any damage with the pinion or ring gears? Are you able to get them as well?

I shipped a diff to Texas and it was $120 through ups

What did you ever figure out?

Not much outside of what is posted in this thread. The parts needed for a rebuild are hard to come by, but it looks like @fumanchu182 will have a solution to that soon.
