I brought the springs to a local spring shop to have them straightened out and a load leaf custom made and installed. That is costing me $150 CDN.

The "incident" also trashed one of my Rancho RS5000 shocks(part# RS5012)

so that`s another $65.

I already had a spare V6 rear axle so I pulled the outers from the one on my truck (to keep my new brakes, wheel cylinders, etc...) and installed them on the spare. It`s going to cost me the price of a new pinion seal ($10) for that.

When the pinion broke, the driveshaft flopped around with power still going to it. The yoke at the t-case flange snapped and took out the u-joint as well. Luckily I have spare flanges and yokes so I bought two new HD u-joints at $35 apiece.

Grand total is approx. $295 CDN. But what`s living if you can`t learn right?
