That is probably an ok price at a dealership but a coolant flush shouldn't be more than the cost of coolant plus about a half hour of labor. (at my family's shop we charge around $70) but a dealer will mark everything up about 50%

depend on your where you live and what you do with the truck, most mfgs will say around 100k or 5 years, some as soon as 60k
that is expencive, most places will charge 85-110 parts, labor and tax for a coolant flush

Much better than the quote that I got a few weeks ago. I brought my truck in for the gas tank straps recall, and left with a "Recommended Action Plan" of all the things they found wrong with my truck. The coolant system flush was listed at $215.00!
I did it today for $4.95 for the flush, and I have enough coolant in the shed to get it done without buying any more.
