Has anybody had any issues with Billy Bobs in Edgewood/Milton? I have been thinking about having them do some work for me and wanted know what their workmanship is like.

I am about ready for a sye and cv driveshaft. I dont want to do a hack and tap and they offer a new output shaft and cv driveshaft installed for 800. Nw drivelines wants 500 for just a new driveshaft so it seems like a pretty good deal.

if you look around you can find the parts for under 500 and its really easy to do your self. Rustys has a sye kit with a tom woods drive shaft for 480. and i think i saw somewhere you can get the sye for 120.

and if your near kent go to aukeen drivelines they are about half the price of drivelines nw

An SYE is easy cake man. Just follow the directions and be careful when cracking the case. It's easier than "color by numbers!"
