Re: Looking for a good shop to work on my rear end
I agree with Camaro75, take it to Ricks. If you tried to take anything Strange to either an import shop or just a straight up Auto Repair place they'd be like "huuuuhhhhhhhh?" Actually, VA speed might be a decent place to call, either to get the work done or for a reco. They do a lot of Vette stuff and I know they're familiar with Strange, Ferrea and a lot of the other more serious drag-oriented parts companies.
2. HOLY SHIT, i haven't seen you post in a minute

Re: Looking for a good shop to work on my rear end
Just to throw it out there.... you mentioned it was leaking, did you happen to run it low? idk if you topped it off, checked the fluid or changed it recently. They will be notchy with low fluid and require some type of break in when new (no clue how old it is either, and what type/brand... makes a diff in noise also) Maybe pop the cover off for a quick peek? look for springs, chunks of metal, discoloring on the "dogs" of the locker. If its a "lunchbox" style locker you can snag one for under 400 new and put it in yourself... but again lack of info.
And it is not a new rear end. IT has been at the track and launched on with slicks.
oh ya? I'm not sure if there are any other issues in there, but I'd be more than happy to help you do it, just not sure what I'm doing. Feel free to PM me. and we can discuss it.

Re: Looking for a good shop to work on my rear end
When I put fluid in it, it took all of 3 f*cking quarts.... It was whining, but I attributed that to just whining gears. Much quieter now, but now I'm worried about the condition of everything in there.

I had no idea you were in Hampton. I'm in Va Beach and probably would be able to get out there Wed. (I have an interview) For some reason I thought you were in Va Beach.

Not bashing Gary or his fellas over there at the shop, but are they familiar with rear-ends?

Call Dave Walker at Walkers Auto and Marine, just up the street from SAGE on Cleveland. He's got all kinds of Chevy stuff in his shop. I was just in there Friday for some stuff.
