Coolant flush

Does a $109 sound pretty reasonable to have the coolant flushed and refilled + adding the additive? Thats what my Ford dealer charges... I was originally going to do it myself but I just dont have time with work.

Let me know.

If that includes labor and coolant, that is a good price. Now do you trust the service department?

Yes, that includes everything... flush, coolant, additive

Yes they are a very reputable dealer that has a very large inventory and very clean service department. I have never actually taken any of my trucks to a dealer since I do most of my own work.. but I've heard good experiences from other people.

Plus, the service manager I talked to seemed very experienced with the powerstroke engines. I'll probably end up sticking around and watching what they do.

Sounds about worth it to me with the cost of the materials and not having to deal with disposal of the old coolant. I just don't like anyone messing with my truck. I am **** that way.
