rebuilt ip in, runs great, but.............(long)

So I got my truck back last week after nearly 2 weeks in the shop. Rebuilt ip, had the 3200 spring istalled, 1288 bucks. Steep i figure, but hell, as long as she runs good, I don't really care. The truck is a totally different animal, pulls hard almost immediatly, through all the gears. So I go for a little drive, test her out, get home and guess what? Same issue i brought the truck in for, it gets hot, the idle drops and the oil pressure drops below 30 and the light comes on. So I call the shop, and they tell me to bring in in tommorrow. They had the pump farmed out, and told me it should be all good. What should i do? Im not paying to have the pump pulled, they charged me 160 more than what I was told for removal and install so i have to get that back anyhow. Here is a parts list of what i paid for:
-gak pkg 27.05
-parts pkg pmp-215.60
-spring kit-42.73
-seals-42.73
-spring-20.33
labor-480.00

So my question really is , did I already pay for the parts to fix the low idle with the pump? Im thinking the shop should fix this for very cheap, parts only, since they already had the pump pulled apart, .Please , any opinions are helpful.

i would tell the shop you want your labor money back since they did not fix the problem. My way of thinking....is if a shop has an idea that they might have you spending over 1000 dollars, they BETTER KNOW WHATS WRONG, instead of replacing/rebuilding something they "THINK" is wrong. If i was you i would go back and tell them how you feel and what you want done otherwise you will be coming back with a lawyer!!!
