I have a timing cover gasket leak and it is not covered by the recall so I am stuck with the bill.I have a good friend that is a tech at the local ford dealer and he say 200 dollars to replace the gasket.He would also replace the water pump,hoses,flush and replace collant.Is this a good price for the labor.I have to pay for the parts.

Thanks

Tanman, Sweet truck. How are things in LA? Sorry, but I got lost in all your mods. Did you tint the whole front w/s? How legal is that? I have one thing to say, YOU THE MAN! As for the price on labor, that sounds pretty darn good. If you want to know how good, call the service advisor and get a quote on how much to replace all that stuff. Good Luck, Jeff

damn sweet truck tanman!! gezz..

I really like the rear views and the tires!!

that is a good price, I had the recall done for free but the dealer told me with the labor + parts would cost well over 700, but then again.. that's the dealership price
