I bought the Ford Racing gears for $189, install kit for another $80, and had a shop install them for $300. Don't forget two bottles of your favorite 75-90 for $30Yeah I think Motive is what I'm going with. Anyone have an estimate of what a Ford dealer would charge for labor, assuming I supply the parts?
I got a quote from a local shop of $1,100 for r&p, bearings, oil and install.

I had a shop quote me $1100 for everything, told them to go pound sand.
So I called around and got labor-only quotes from $750 - $1350...shits not cheap around here I guess. The $1100 quote guy will do it for $600 labor if I supply all parts. He was also recommended by various others, so I'm going with him.I bought the Ford Racing gears for $189, install kit for another $80, and had a shop install them for $300.

Also trying to find a LPW extra low profile diff cover and ARP bolts.
Did you have to order a specific Ultra cover for the 05+? I just called LPW and the guy said they only have one size Ultra, that comes in either natural or black powder coat finish. And that any wording about "extra low profile" was just marketing. I was confused as to if there were actually two different sized SRA 8.8 Ultra covers. Is seems there are not.An LPW cover for 05 will fit. They have the SRA 8.8, but have a low profile diff cover for clearance of the Panhard bar.
I have one on my 98. Clears my MM PHB too.

So I'm going to go with the Ultra in black.
Yeah it sounds like it's the same part#. The guy said they only make one Ultra for the 8.8 (ignoring the color difference).You're saying the 05+ is the same part # as the 79-04.
I'm not sure if the 05+ is sold as low profile, it is just built that way due to the PHB.
No prob, no confusion from you. I was shopping around and different websites had different options or wording. I want to eventually run the MM PH and TA.Ok just looked, I have the LPW 8.8 rear diff cover, I think I was confusing it with other brands.
LPW uses a low profile cover for all 8.8s, where as some others use a different part # for 05+.
I bought mine a long time ago, sorry about the confusion.
What did you need the low profile for.

Good to know. I was going to go with the TA but the LPW Ultra looks like it gives about 1/2" more clearance.I can definitely confirm the LPW girdle fits with the MM PHB.
I DO get a clunk out back somewhere over harder bumps, but it's not coming from there. I just can't locate it's source.
I did not realize how much you can do to a car and with me being a complete novice, it looks like you have a great grasp on what you are doing. I had a cooling question I have just put on line. Perhaps I should check the thermostat. I have seen the reservoir you mentioned, what does that do to assist the cars running? I hope you do not mind y useing your list of things as a guide…..4.10s are a good fit.
My aftermarket reservoir was really just a dress up add on. I don't think it adds much capacity ie.. or helps cooling. As far as cooling mods, The Reisch 170* made a lot of difference.I did not realize how much you can do to a car and with me being a complete novice, it looks like you have a great grasp on what you are doing.

When people talk about boost or something PO, what are these terms meaning? Do you mind if I bounce things off of you, I am a newbie and there is so much to digest, like the guy discussing a certain thermostat and cooling reservoirs for the radiator?3.73 if or when you go FI.
otherwise as others have said above.
I got 3.73 because I planned to go procharger and got talked out of 3.9...now that I plan to stay NA, I wish that I had a bit more gear.
