@dillard09 last question: was this TX or CA? Feels like labor costs might reflect differently depending on location
It was in Texas. I had some repairs done in CA not long ago. It was at Galpin Auto. They did a great job but we're a bit expensive. I'll see if I can dig what they charged an hr.
Where are you at?

I'm in central coast CA, shop is in San Luis Obispo, so rates aren't cheap. 195 /h at the dealer and local shop.

Got the dealer price back for new long block and turbos, no radiator and it was still Just under $21k. Got the local shop to reduce their cost enough and throw in diff/transfer case service and inspection as a part of the overall work.

Def a good start. I use to live in Ventura so I know SLO.
