Hey Chris, Chuck,
I don't know what complexities installing an LSD causes but I changed from
3.55 to 3.92 gears which includes the ring and pinion gear plus the bearings
from Unitrax for $600 and I have the old gears (which are still new). The
difference is I already had the LSD from the factory. That whole install
took them three hours.
FWIW,
Ron

Here's the break down of parts needed for my Dak:
Dana TracLok $233
3:90 gears $190
shipping $36
total $459
above parts purchased through http://www.ring-pinion.com/index.html
below parts installed by shop
carrier bearings (x2) $45
pinion bearing $18
pinion bearing race $27
gear oil $13
total $116
Labor 12 hours
When I got the total due, I had to pick my jaw off the floor. It was
about $200 - $300 more than I expected. I do have to admit, though that
after having the new gears in for a while, it was worth every penny.
