So while down in Moab with my Hummer H3 this week I blew the spider/axle gears in my rear diff and chipped a few of the corners of the ring gear's teeth going up Metal Masher. My Eaton e-locker's pins are also rounded off so that would need to be rebuilt as well. I've done pretty much everything on a vehicle up to and including rebuilding several engines, but I have never touched a transmission or differential before. While I have all the tools I would need to rebuild my diff, except for a case spreader, I'm reluctant to mess with it on my daily driver.
Anyone have recommendations for a shop to take my axle to to have it rebuilt? I am planning on picking up an Ox locker to replace the Eaton, 4.56 gears to replace the 4.10's (if I can swing it I'll also get the front axle regeared at the same time, otherwise I'll just leave the front axle out and run in 2wd for a while), and I can replace the axle bearings/seals myself. I really just want someone that I can trust to install the new gears and locker for me for a fair price, but properly done. I am going to pull the axle out and bring it to whoever I get to do the work, same with the front axle since I can't really drive it right now.
