[QUOTE="Callem'In, post: 177975, member: 1222"] I understand where you are coming from, but for what its worth, most shops charge more than their normal labor rate for customer supplied parts. The bay the vehicle is in needs to make x dollar amount per hour, in parts and labor. We charge list price from the dealer on oem parts. If you have an in with a parts department, you may be able to reduce your cost on parts, but may over pay on the labor side. my shop offers a 2yr/24K warranty on parts and labor that is nation wide with parts we sell, but you are out of luck if a part fails that you bring to install (even if its OEM). Your truck may also not need all of the parts and the cost may go down. My recommendation is if you commit to repairing the engine, Have a reputable shop tear it down and inspect to see what it actually needs. The Estimate is assuming all parts are needed.........not knowing for sure. You may be able to replace just a lifter or rocker arm, but it is only speculation without inspection. [/QUOTE]
