Been there (4.77), done that, didn't like it, went back to stock.


I used Performance Driveline in Danielsville PA but that doesn't help you either.

A long long time ago:

I was looking for someone to do it around here (NH). Talking to a local who does autocross who had 4.77's, he used a local shop called A-Tech Automotive in Milford, NH. Although he only autocross the car so I guess that doesn't really equate well with day to day use. However if I recall, he said that they were a good shop to use.

I ended up using puddy for mine, at the time I wanted to get 4.57's but they were really hard to come by. Ended up going with 4.44's and paid a little more for the cyro'd service. Honestly, not a huge difference to me between stock 4.10's, if I had to do it again I probably would have waited for some 4.57's to pop up.

I had a shop in Bristol CT do mine, I can try to find the name for you. Never had any problems. I'd be willing to sell my diff if you're interested. 4.77 with a Comptech re-enforced housing.
