i have a 2004 f-250 and just had the E.G.R. valve and tube replaced, want to know what rough cost usually is? i paid 1200.00

 

If you had less than 100,000 miles it should have only cost you $100. Otherwise I am not sure, maybe someone else can help.

 

If your truck is still within the 5/100K Emissions warranty then it should have cost you Zero. There is no deductible on the Emissions warranty.

 

you guys have no idea how much it costs to repair a truck that is out of warranty

 

EGR valve = $176.50

Tube = $17.67

Total Parts $194.17
Less than an hour shop time to diagnose and change the valve.
So it shouldn't have cost more than $350.00 parts and labor.

 

That sounds a little high. $350......no way at a dealer. I would estimate around $7-800 to be average.

 

Yeah, Blackhat is using DirectFordParts discounted part pricing. The dealer would probably try to charge list price, unless you complained about it. So if you went by list price

EGR $333
Tube $25
Labor $160 (1 hour for diagnosis, 1 hour for part replacement at $80/hr)
Total $518

$1200 seems way high. I would like to see how the service department broke that down.

 

hang on guys. these trucks do not have a egr tube. plus you guys are not figuring diagnosing these trucks.

what kind of tube did they replace? do you have a part number?

 

I was thinking he meant the EGR cooler. I don't think I've ever seen a dealership shop give discounted parts prices, but maybe there are some kind ones out there. Usually list plus--I have seen as high as 35% over list. Maybe the OP can clarify his parts a little bit.

 

Yeah I was unsure on what tube he was talking about. Anyways where I work it is $199.95 diag and $122 an hour. Maybe they charged him 4 hours to put it in......

 

man i thought we were high

 

y'all are pretty high, round here it's at 70 an hour. Which is pretty much what most shops charge unless you are really able to haggle with them.

 

Are You Sure they didn't replace the EGR Cooler and the EGR Valve?
