Typically looking at $400-500 for the R&P's and installation kits and
another $500+ for the install...tack on another few bucks if you've got a
carrier change in there (I don't know the splits on D-C pumpkins). If you're
thinking about traction devices (lmited-slip, locker) this is the time to do
it.

Ok well that for that insight Walt,
Next question is what would a ballpark cost be for front/rear 3.91 gears and
installation?
