Actually...3.54:1, automatic transmission, I6 engine with Dana 44 rear differential.

Okay so if I bought the pinion and gear for front and rear I am looking at about $450-500. What would be a ballpark figure for a shop to change them out?

I have no idea what it is but 250 seems reasonable to me if it did cost that much. That being said though, is an overall cost of parts and labor worth the money?

That is what I am trying to find out or figure out. Not sure if I want to dump that kind of money into my heep.
