Help!!!!Am I getting ripped?
Re manufactured motor
Ballpoints Battery Struts 3yr 100k mile warrenty $6,982.00 I have a 2004 F-150 with a shot 5.4l 3v engine. I am not a mechanic and I don't have the skills or equipment to perform the work myself. Does this look over the top? |
I thought a reman engine went for around $3k. So that's about $4k for the rest of the stuff plus labor. I don't know, sounds high to me.
|
Actually tbh that sounds bout right.
|
The actual engine isnt the biggie.. The labor is what brings it up there and labor rates the way they are thats about right in my opinion at least
|
Yeah, I guess I would have to agree with Bryson. Labor is the biggest factor. I work at a CaseIH dealership and our labor rates just went up to $90 bucks an hour. So I'd say auto mechanics are close to that or more.
|
Sounds about right for all that plus the warranty.
|
I replaced the motor in my Trans Am. Got a quote from a garage. $3 k for the motor and $2 k labor +/-. I bought the LT1 from NAPA and got a friend with a shop to help. $2200 total including paying him. A lot of garages will make money off the parts as well and you may end up paying more for the motor on top of the labor. I had about the same warranty as well through the remanufacture.

For this particular truck, a 2004 f-150 xlt....is it worth the money to fix it? For that price should I get a lift kit installed? I mean there gonna be under there anyway, right? I'm a total novice to this stuff. I appreciate all the input guys.
|
Thats a deal.... We just put a Jasper Reman Engine in an 05, which is a 3 year 100k Warranty and the total was $6800 just for the motor and labor.
As for it being worth it: It may cost $7k to repair your truck, but can you buy another F150 with a reman motor and new ball joints for the same cost? You may buy another vehicle and then in six months be in the same situation as you are now. |
IMO, that is WAAAAAY too much to invest in a truck that old -
Unless you plan on keeping it for a few more years. Do you? |
