In my town! This is ridiculous .. I moved and no longer have a garage so I was looking to have a local shop install my 3200 gov. spring. My local Dodge dealership quoted me 6 hours @ $90hr! DDP which is a 4 hour drive from me sends theirs away to a pump shop for ~$450 quoted plus my truck down for four days .. and I love those guys! No other diesel shop would even touch it. Guess I'll just do it in the rain one of these days

I did mine on a gravel driveway in 2 hours.

Yeah, I did mine in my driveway too. Though it took a little longer than 2 hours since I stopped halfway to buy the seal replacement kit. Ended up staining my driveway when the diesel fuel dropped out of the pump when I opened it. Call it a performance casualty.

Me too.

i installed mine today in my driveway. took just about 5 hours. it was my first time ever opening the pump and i was resealing the fuel pin as well. not bad i think.

i called the shop here in town and they quoted me $100.00 plus cost of spring...one day turn around...from what i had read on guys doing it theirselves i thought that was high but guess not

If one were to pay to have it done, 75-100 bucks would be fair. That should envolve putting the 3200 spring in, removing the lock collar from the fuel screw. turning it up a turn or so if they want. Cleaning up all the threads on the idle screws, rotaing the fuel pin and moving the throttle to the inside.. That's usally what I do for guys and I charge 100 bucks.. 90 per hr would be nice, but not realistic.. I'm surprised a Dodge dealership would even say they would do it.. Most of the dealerships around here won't touch a 12v unless the can plug the computer into it. Kinda sad

Heck the last one that I did took me less than 1 hour and that was showing the other member how it was done, intercooled engines take a bit longest because you have to take off a bit more to get to the pump but still not that bad.

I can have the top off my pump within a matter of about 15 minuets.

if you can't do it yourself, what about hopping over the Canada border, there's a few shops that way.

Jim Lane

Geez doesn't that stuff make you shaky and get you wired?

You can do this. I'am living proof.
Look in the sticky and ask some ?
Get with someone before you start and call them when you have a ?

Today I started on my buddies 93. Head gasket if puking water out the front. Pulled the head off tonite. Then I getta surface it, port it, surface it and put it all back together. Rad has to get rodded, kdp and a gov spring.


Of course the collar on the pump is going to be mia.

If you send me your spring, I'll put it in my pump and won't charge you a dime.
