T-case Opinion

Ok I know my T-case is bad. I just want some of yall's opinion on what I should do.
Should I:
Send of to Shep to get a rebuild?(It will be stronger in the long run)
Or
Buy a used one from some one? (I have been getting tons of PM's)

If you where in the same boat as me what would you do? I am waiting on my tax returns to come in. Kind of wish someone had a Shep T-case for sell and not something that wouldn't break the bank.

Another bad thing about it is that I have an ACD T-case. Them seem to go for more money. And I hear it's not worth switching over to non-ACD.

Thanks for taken the time to read this. Maybe some of you can give me some idea's on what I should do or what you would do.

Send it to Shep.. Its worth the peace of mind. Im not sure how bad the t case is but why buy another one when you can have a stronger one for less or the same price.

Bingo...
It is going to depend on what is wrong with your TC and what kind of condition it is in. If it is your ring and pinion (most likely if its whinning) its $1200 for the new set, in adition to the work of $350.

So when Shep did mine $1550 total for the TC...basically stg II case. If it is an 05 or newer case it has the Mits LSD, so thats why its a Stg II case replacement with the rest of the bells and whistles.
