Repair Bill -
Last week I got my 2005 F-250 6.0L back from the dealership-they replaced head gaskets-egr cooler- kit-valve asy-another kit and element-plus oil and antifreeze-and a O-ring Kit- 96,700 miles - 5 years was up- no warranty - Price was $ 4200.00- does this seem fair ?

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...

I sometimes wish that were true out here, no close neighbors, but everyone knows what you do before you do it!

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.

Even if I paid FoMoCo for all the parts (sticks & o-rings), wouldn't have paid $2500 for 8 sticks in my truck. But then, that's me doing the work...and not a dealership.

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

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.

I don't buy new or for that matter slightly used, pretty much if it's not a project, I keep looking.

The sad part is, I was the poor sap that got caught in the middle of it sometimes...and I wasn't aware of what I was driving into
