Man that sucks, I see a ton of people say this. Have you checked around two or three towns over? Even after the gas expenses I'm sure it would still be cheaper. Find the best mechanic you know and ask him who he'd have do your rebuild if it were his truck, that's what I did. Also as a side note if you're doing research on 60E internals, talk to rhino on here. He gave me a ton of useful advice and I ended up buying my sunshell, servos and shift kit from him for WAY cheaper than Summit, Jegs, RockAuto etc.
Yeah it does suck - there are some good builders in the valley (Phoenix, Mesa, etc Arizona) but I live up on the mountain, 3 hours away. Now that we have a DD, I that is a more feasible option.
