3.91 installation at dealership
A lot to remove. I stopped in halfway through my 3.91 gear installation. I'm glad a professional is doing this work.

Yeah, that's what I am interested in. The cost at a dealership.

Man, I want a set of gears so bad. But I need a convertor too, for sure. My car pushes bigtime at stop lights. I'm hoping to do both at the same time.

$1550 total. That INCLUDES the recalibration of the speedometer. Best price I got after an extensive search. Plus, I'll get back the 3.45 gears, and I suppose I can sell them for $150 or so. Only 19,000 miles on my camaro.

Man, that's steep. Is that including the gears or in addition to?
As long as they do great work, you have the bucks to spend and are happy in the end - that's all that matters.

Only thing i wish i added was the Z/28 LSD and cooling package. All I can say is, when my dealership completed my gear swap, my car ran 10 times better.

Well there really is no 'should' amount. That's just steep for me. I also don't know if that included his gears or not - but I assume it does.
Gears themselves usually cost between $300-550, depending on the completeness of the kit. I have seen multiple people pay $500-700 for labor and also plenty of people paying closer to this price, but usually that includes the gears. I would say the average I have seen is around $1200, gears & labor. But it tends to vary greatly depending on your region. So $1550 total including the gears isn't all that bad, especially knowing it was dealer installed. It is just on the higher end. Keep in mind a lot of people will remove the diff themselves and bring that into the shop for the gear swap, saving a lot of money on labor. Then they can have their tuner adjust the tune for the new ratio.

My 2011 Silverado rear locker came apart a couple of years ago out of nowhere. Yeah I admit that i paided the dealership more than other shops in the area, but they also gave me a 3 year unlimited milage warranty. Only thing they asked was that after a few hundred miles that I came in so they could pull the cover to check the fluid and components.

Yes, that's total WITH gears. I had one shop quote me that price WITHOUT speedometer recalibration, which you can buy device on your own to do. The problem is that those tune devices can run around $300. Other speed shops were anywhere from $2000 to $3000. One guy initially stated "under a $1000" until he found out that it was a 2011. He screamed extensive labor due to the fact that its independent rear suspension. Based on what I see, he is correct in his labor concerns. Sure, there are guys who claim that this can be done in your driveway with the car on a jack. I say "Good luck." The way I see it, I've got a GM tech who knows what he's doing. He's done five of these before. That's worth the money to get it done right.
