wow,just to swap out the cp3, it pays to do it yourself,
x2
You will learn more and will feel much better.
Also REDHOSS02 nice ava.
not sure of the labor time but I charge $50 an hour and flat rate it. I stay very busy at this rate so I feel it's pretty fair compared to $70sum at the dealership around the corner. I'd say the job pays 6-8 hrs so $300-$400ish + parts and tax.
just to change the cp3 pump 6 to 8 hrs, wow I had no Ideal that was the flag time, no wonder shops charge so much money, $50 an hr is a fair rate do u run a shop???
Man if you where closer i'd have you come over and do it in my garage so i know how to do it whenever i have to mess with mine :cool2:
Thats just a quick guesstimate. It's been awhile since i looked that time up. I know it flags a pretty good amount. It seems duramax book times are all pretty much on the high end. I own a business and borrow space for now till i can find the land to build a shop to fit my needs. My building's too small and people are out of their minds on leases and property around here that would be suitable for a business.

Get a nice shop and you will find $50 per hour wont cover overhead very well let alone put money in your pocket.

wow,
Its a six hour job and i charge $79 an hour, so i hope those numbers will help you.
50 an hour is amazing. you wont find a shop in jersey less then 80-90....most dealerships here are in the 110-120 range
Jeez I guess im cheap at $75/hour.
i pay my mechanic in budwiser i dunno if you can beat that:angel:
sometimes the work comes out a little tipsy though
The cheapest i found so far was $625 from Macs Diesel Performance. I know this can be a long drawn out process, but its all small stuff and fuel lines right nothing to big or too tight? Not any special tools required? I remember trying to replace my turbo and had to make a tool to get the downpipe bolts out! I dont want to run into that again!:baby:
Yeah when I have a nice shop of my own, that rate will have to change. Now I'm just building my customer base although I have a pretty good following of customers who came over when i left the dealership.
I know how to work on these engines I do my own work, I just didn't know it cost that much, I saved a bundle over the last 6 months, all I;m saying,
Understand I own a construction company, times are tuff, Good Luck hope u do well.
I've had to drop my pricing by about 30 % to stay halfway working.
Been to Louisville KY on 64 lately? I'm in construction too and all that concrete being placed between Shelbyville and Louisville is one of my responsibilities. Needless to say, I'm busy there too.
