I called International to install the new kind of up pipes. They said 300.00$ for the kit, and 300 to 500$ to install them. Is that about right or to much? Had an operation on my arm can't do it my self! Has anybody else gone to a dealer to get this done? Need help!! or advice..

 

BTW... WELCOME to FTE, greedy737. I failed to notice your low post count in the other thread. Forgive my lack of manners in not having welcomed you in one of my previous responses.

On this issue, I can't help much. Perhaps there might be a fellow FTE member geographically nearby who can help you get it done. I know that there are lots of folks here in FTE who, when they live nearby someone who needs help, are always happy to pitch in and help out. Great guys in here.

Someone else with better info will probably chime in shortly.

 

Greedy737,

Welcome to FTE,

Black Widow Diesel sells the kit for $325 (non-ceramic) so 300 is about right for the kit. When I replaced my up-pipes with the old style, it was a royal pain (I need smaller hands or more extensions for my ratchet). Had my dealer quoted me 300-500 I would have had them do it, but there was a 1 in front of that number when I got a quote, so I did it myself.

 

Where exactly is Lenhartsville PA in relation to central MD?

 

That is a good price for labor, you have to remove the turbo and the passengers side inner fender well, Small hands help..Make sure those are the accordian style uppipes.

Its a big job and leads to other jobs(oil leaks, turbo work, etc.)

 

I live near Allentown PA any one close to me. I'll drive further if need to. I'm just in bad shape right now. But a 4 hr. drive to help me out, is no problem. !!!! Thank You to all of you!!!!!!!!!!!

 

well im on eastern Long island NY, and if you willing to drive here with box of Beer to ease the pain of busted knuckles, you more than welcome, let me know


and BTW Welcome to FTE

 

you are about 120 miles from me. If you want to do a mapquest use Union Bridge MD 21791 and look at it from there. Might be the same distance from your place to here and your place to Pete's.

 

But Kris, what are you going to do with a box of beer?? (LOLOL)

 

Drink it. Why let it get warm?

 

If it work out that greedy737 wanders down this way shoot me a PM, happy to help (little scrawny guy = fit in places he probably shouldn't)

 

And honestly, wouldn't mind learning a little from you as well.

 

Idea---!!!

You can come over and be the designated drinker!


!!!

 

Don't know about that, but will help.

 

I just want to say thank you for all the advice and help! And to Pete'_7.3 PSD & Strokin_ it 7.3 for inviting me to come to your places to help me out!!!! It's nice to be a member here and have so many freinds that help others out anyway they can. I hope I get the chance to do the same for others! Thank's again!! By the way, someone called me to ask if I had anymore firewood to sell. When he stoped over to get some, guess where he works, Diesel Service for 25 yrs. Made a deal I buy the parts, he will put them on at the shop for me!! Found another good freind. Told him about this site, he said he is going to Become a member too !!!
