Gauge Install

I have had my gauges sitting in the garage for about 2 months trying to find time to install and things are just not working out for me to get this done. Anyway to make a long story short I am considering biting the bullet and having the gauges installed by a diesel shop in town.

I did the install on my old F350 and it took me around 6 - 7 hours without interruptions, but it was my first install of gauges. The shop I am considering qouted me a price on 4 hours ($250 - $275) work to install the gauges. Does that sound reasonable?

The gauges are:
Drill and Tap Pyrometer
Boost Gauge
Tranny Gauge

Sounds pretty reasonable...and the shop price is just about average at least with costs around here in ABQ.

Good luck...

4 hours if they're taking coffee breaks after each gauge. BUT, it's still a very resonable cost to have it done and done right.
