Not all of us live out in the sticks where we can part 20-30 rides in the yard.:-kneeslap I know one of my neighbors doesn't like it when the Pavement Princess is at the house...let alone the Ranchero in the backyard. But then I don't care what he thinks...:-X24

To any repair business.....Time Is Money. Most repairs seem to be 30% parts, 70% labor.
Of course you are getting retail+ parts cost too. |
Don't feel bad. I just did 8 injectors on a DuraMax at work. The *parts* portion of the bill was $4700.
The labor side wasn't near as high, nor was it high enough. :-) I did another one today that had a leaking front seal. I don't believe I've ever seen a worse front seal leak in 20 years of doing this. There was a heavy mist of nasty black oil over the entire engine compartment. I think I ruined a uniform shirt. |

Preaching to the choir, Jeff, although I did pay $5k for the Jeep I bought Lynn for Christmas. That's the most I've paid for a 4 wheeled vehicle in 17 years. I paid more than that for 2 of the 3 Harley's though, but they weren't new.

And you folks wonder why I wouldn't own a late model, computer controled engine. Hell, I can buy 2 trucks for your one repair bill :-roll
