    Anyone know the book hours for oil pan R&R?

    Hey, could anyone tell me the book hours for an oil pan remove and replace? I think was reamed. My local shop charged me $409 for this, which I believe is about 3.5 - 4 hours. I don't feel that's correct. Any thoughts? I'm hoping for some detail/ammo to talk with them about it.

    Trick to use front ABS post rear axle swap?

    Any one aware of or have thoughts for a trick to still use the ABS in the front after swapping a non-ABS rear axle? I through in a re-built 8.25 in my '98 since the D35 was dying.
