As it sits now they have it Labor (8hrs) $800, Valve cover gasket with harness $159.98 (x2), Shop supplies, zip ties, clamps, connectors, bulk hose, misc. $175 (confused on this) A/C O-Ring and Orfice tune $35, Tax $30.52. With total being $1,200.50
I was looking at Unlimited Diesel for the injectors. I never heard of Pure Power.
My understanding is if I go to the 160/30's I need a special tune. Can that be written for a plug n play SCT tuner?
Currently in Peoria, Il.

Lmao. Are they taking off AC components to get the valve cover out?

Drag the truck to Midwest Diesel in Athens. Or maybe RCD could help you out right in town...

Did they pull the engine? Even so, a/c wouldn’t have to come apart! See Lincolnlocker’s post above. Well and everyone else’s!! You’re getting screwed.

No joke. Very reputable shops right there or very close by.

I feel bad for you man. You’re getting d!cked and the guy isn’t even trying to hide it.

The 38R has a little play side to side from the factory. It seems strange but that's how it is. As long as the wheel is not hitting the housing it is probably ok. Garrett claims oil pressure plays an important role in helping support the bearing/shaft. If it were dusted it would have blow by. Big time blow by.
