Ring and pinion gear replacment or...
2010, 4cyl, 2WD, regular cab, 105k miles. My Ford dealer tells me that my ring and pinion gears need replacing. There is a bit of a mild "clunk" occasionally, though not bad. The truck may have hauled a trailer in its early days (first 35k).
Questions:
Buy a used rear trans-axle or replace the gears?
Have Ford dealer do it or I do have quite a good mechanic and if the mechanic, use Ford parts or aftermarket? (suggestions as to who to buy from?) Guesstimates on cost?
How important is it to deal with it quickly? I'll have more $ to spend near the end of summer.
I am not able to do this work myself.
Thanks
