Yeah that seems just a TAD expensive... And by tad, I mean a LOT!

Redoing gears isn't cheap but nor is it that expensive!

Do you have 4x4? If that's the case, that doubles the price. But even so....

Call around, it shouldn't be nearly that much. I'd guesstimate MAYBE $1,000. But that's a rough guesstimate. Ask em for a breakdown on that $4k. Granted they have to do it twice but it shouldn't take ten hours per differential either!

You would be stealing it if you can get it for under 1k. I'd expect 1200-1700.
