Finally getting around to to getting my 3.55s installed. The local dealership is telling me it will take around 5-6 hours to do the swap. at 70 bucks an hour that is not exactly cheap. I am also having them replace all the bearings and stuff for good measure and change out the speedo gear. I tend to trust these guys becasuse i worked there for 4 years and they are even still giving me an employee discount on the parts. What do you guys think?

It takes normally about 3 hours for someone who knows what tehy are doing. I would talk to a local speed shop in your area. Where are you located, maybe we could recommend some.

i had my exhaust put in at the same time as my gears. they gave me 50 dollars an hour on the exhaust ( took an hour and a half) and just told me it would be 250 to do the gears. i said ok. they had it form 8am til just after 5 and they were done with it.

I've heard that some of the performance "chips" can correct the speedometer. Does anyone know more about this?
