Message	I removed the differential and had it sent to a transmission shop here in Coral Springs, FL. I opted to have the differential completely rebuilt instead of just having the ring and pinion installed. Does anyone have an idea of what this should cost with parts and labor. He quoted me $325.00 just to put the gears in. TIA - Alex Turbo lag is just god’s way of giving V8’s a chance
