IPR for $300.00 is still high way robbery.

I paid far less than 200$ for mine.

I do agree a good tech should do it in under a half hour IMHO

And all your oil fell out? Like onto the road or it lost high oil pressure?

Then again if he added 2 gallons(8 quarts) It must have been an external leak some where?

part was 262. 00 thats ford price.. called my home dealership to verify. labor is 4hrs on labor chart that ford dealer has..again called my dealer to verify. labor in odessa tx on diesel os 140.00 hr. when they were fixing this they found a clamp or some sort of housing uint that was broke also. 2 hr labor for that and that part was 127.00 so yea it sucks but will be on road tomorrow around noon. when the ipr failed or bracket came off it caused some hose to come off and dumped my oil on the interstate.

$140 an hour? Dang! I work on Apache helicopters for a living and the contractor I work for charges the US government significantly less per hour ( of which I make significantly less). That's with 2 years of school (or military service) and continuing training and certification that involves passing tests! Maybe I'm in the wrong line of work. Is that a common rate these days?
