You may not be accounting for the install labor cost of replacing the clutch kit...
I'll put up a shop estimate this evening after work.

He absolutely did not include the labor cost. To R&R and rebuild a Tracloc I'd guess 3+ hours if you know what you're doing.You may not be accounting for the install labor cost of replacing the clutch kit...
90 mins, tops. A shop may charge 3 hrs labor but there is no way it actually takes that long.He absolutely did not include the labor cost. To R&R and rebuild a Tracloc I'd guess 3+ hours if you know what you're doing.
Yep, shop rate would be at or very close to 3 hours.90 mins, tops. A shop may charge 3 hrs labor but there is no way it actually takes that long.
My Dana 44 came with Trac Loc and as someone pointed out its probably shot after 81k miles. I'm trying for now to keep this Jeep simple, frugal and effective. It already came with a Dana 44, a blutooth stereo and an aftermarket amp. I'm cutting down the bumper and adding a winch plate, and I'm part sourcing a 2" lift so I don't have to pay $1000 for a kit with shocks I don't want. So the question is, rebuild, replace, or simply buy something like a true locker?
There's no gear setup required to replace a TracLoc with a Truetrac. The carrier would just need to be shimmed l/r to set its backlash but that's no big deal. Even that's not always required.Plus the extra labor for having to reset the gears with the trutrac.
