If your talkin your intercooler pipes, real easy, just gotta pull the drivers side battery, air box, then the pipe will come out, pass side is even easier, ball joints would be your hardest thing to replace just cause time consuming and a lot of freakin work.. but with a press or a ball joint tool not that bad..The stealership is crazy for all that. good luck.

Wow, you mean that other dealerships charge like that other than the local one here? Isn't it interesting how they think that they should charge such a ridiculous amount to do what we know can be done ourselves. That BG service is hilarious. The glow plug module service is even worse!

If they are doing rotors and pads on the brake job that isn't that bad of a price. Everything else however is rubbish! Aren't you glad you found FTE?!

A bottle of the BG 244k is like 50 bux at most retail stores. I can get it from my vendor at cost. So its more like 35 for me. Just remember it does NOT lube your fuel system.

Sorry guys I sell it at my work so I know a lil about this product.

You need to see what they mean by it. I am guessing the Plenum Intake Manifolds on the heads but I don't know what they mean on the intercooler unless its the boots.

The man said intercooler boots. I am a little confused myself. The paperwork called it intercooler and manifold duct.
