[QUOTE="rpf500, post: 548014, member: 6870"] [b]Re: Duramax head gaskets???[/b] I don't have a breakdown on paper, but I can safely say that 3-3500 at the smaller shop is the "basics" but that includes whatever work they are doing to the heads. The other shop is at 5800-6K. They go through the heads totally though and said "why would someone NOT do that if you are this far in to it and spending the money" when I asked if people prefer to just have them pressure checked and decked. He was nicer about it than it sounds when I type it though. The "extra" I think are fair to say makes about 2k. The second place used the 10K price but got in to injectors (said he'd really think about it if he were me and had 125K miles) and CP3, turbo, lift pumps, and some other little stuff. I asked what common failure items he saw and these are some he listed. He said if I wanted true piece of mind from the engine, count on 10k and be happy when it's less. They spent 42 minutes on the phone with me and REALLY seemed to know their ****. They went clear down to why they replace all the hose clamps even. Sounds like you will get what you pay for from them. IMO So, if I have someone do it it's a safe bet to be in the 4-6 range. But at that price, what's another 2k, right?? I'm rounding up on the figures because I can guarantee with my luck, there will be some other issue arise when they get in there. Both places stated labor of around 35-37 hours. [/QUOTE]
