Labor cost? Hey diesel shops..

[Nic]

Im getting the HP turbo replaced, studs, all the required gaskets, new rocker arms, new upper and lower radiator hoses and everything. quoted me at 4100...Does this seem right?

Sounds pretty cheap to me since your parts list isn't to far off your quote if using all new ford parts and ARP's.

 

[mclean]

Is that just labor or everything?

 

[Harlan@Outlaw_Diesel]

4100$ parts & labor?

Way too cheap, that would run you around 7000.00 at our shop.

Reman hp turbo from ford is like $1700, studs are around $500, rockers are like $200 each side, headgaskets are $200 each side roughly. Plus hoses and other gaskets.

Seems pretty cheap. What's the labor rate?

 

[SEABEE08FX4]

Seems a little lite to me, what's their hourly rate? Sometimes if they come in low to get you in the door they nail you with crap on the way out.

I would tell them best of luck ointlaugh:

That is a lot of work to do and u have to also add new fluids hot tank parts " at least that is how we do things " and then you have parts ! Sounds like someone missed some things .

 

[Nic]

forgot to tell yall, I supplied the turbo

 

[AirFishAutomotive]

still seems beyond reasonable

 

[Nic]

I have been with this guy since 2010 when he did the work to my 6.0. Im just hoping this is correct. Should have put that I already bought the turbo.

 

[Nic]

And that's with all new fluids. I'm not worried about him doing bad work. He has always been straight up with me, and has always done a jam up job and I have never had to bring anything back for a problem. Jus wanted to make sure all this was right because I'm new to the 6.4 side.

 

[sootie]

its a good price regardless

 

[SEABEE08FX4]

Well you having the turbo already is a detail that would have changed a lot of the answers, as well as the guy doing the work being a buddy of yours. Given those two thing sounds like your getting a good deal.

 

[MINK]

Sounds good to me, if he's already someone you trust then pay the man!

 

[ncollins64]

I paid swamps 5000 for my top end build. Price included fluids, studs, springs and pushrods, and decking my brand new heads and labor. I'm sure there was some more lil things that I didn't mention. Awesome work on there part.

 

[Nic]

Good deal that's what I needed to hear. Thanks.
