    Morning, I wonder if the transmission would have to be reprogrammed with new shift points...or if it is so minor that it wouldnt even affect the transmission except MPG....You know on our trucks there is no redline on RPM's???....at least on mine there isn't...maybe because theres no torque...

    I just don't understand why our dealerships make things so difficult...service and repairs should be treated with respect and understanding..instead they try and leave you with no options and try and suck the every dollar out of your pocket they can...they know whats reasonable and whats...

    dealership is telling me they wont change the gear ratio because it voids the warranty....they will only put a 3.08 ring and pinion in there...and they have back pedaled some...saying that the whole job with a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty will be $1750+/-....still feel its high...but with...

    I actually was looking at them last night as I was pricing out the parts for this repair...we'll see how much the dealership respects us as owners of the vehicles they produce...will update tomorrow on what kinda of pricing I was able to negotiate with them.

    I am calling AMOCO and firestone today plus another guy that was recommended to me ...Im just concerned with the hybrid issues and not sure if I can trust some of these other places to have the experience needed in regards to making sure I don't ruin the hybrid recharging system by gearing it...

    give me a best guess or approximation of what this job should cost in your opinion....I guestimated/researched around $12-1500 total including new ring and pinion,carrier,bushings,seal,etc....and based it off of 5-7 total hours of labor...am I far off you think??

    out of curiosity what gear ratio do you run in your bagged truck??...is it a chevy ring and pinion or is it an aftermarket like auburn,richmond,maxtrac,etc???...have you ever had differential problems with the size wheels and lowering on your truck?? just curious man.

    I know your right...Im just concerned on these hybrid trucks they have degenerative braking which is controlled br braking and in turn charges the batteries...which has a lot to do with gearing...I am going to the dealership today and see if they will negotiate...I really need the...

    so heres the update...dealership says that the rear end differential is done...shot out and needs a total tear down and rebuild....they have quoted me $700-900 for parts and a total labor time of 12 hours which translates to $1400-$1600....best case$1700...worst case $2500 with a 2 year...
