Default TRS rebuilding 101

Can anyone tell me if there is any info available on repair/refresh TRS drives for the do it yourselfer ? Books , Videos . Need to know whats been learned over the years to help them last other than the ovious. Have ability to understand backlash, gear pattern match, crush collers, indicaters stuff like in a 9'' FORD rear .Running less than 600 hp twins . I know Konrads are the answer but wont be in the buget this season! Also who to trust to do the work if I have to send it out and around what price? I have 4 drives 3 need gone thru and set up . 1 needs lower gears as well, case is OK then they need powdercoated or painted. Thanks Dan

I think it would cost more in specialty tools, that it is not cost effective for the do it yourselfer handyman.

I have had good luck with Dubberts in Ohio. Its worth a call just to talk to the old man their. He knows a TON about TRS's. They sold me a rebuilt upper for around $600, put in my BW yolk and new U joints. He also sold me a back up set good set of upper gears for $40.

I've got the book that shows how to rebuild them, but I've never done one myself. Clymer b740
