i just had one replaced at my dodge dealer. don't have invoice in front of me but seems line was a couple hundred and labor was a couple hundred. They said they have to drop fuel tank to change it (one piece line from tank to pump).
mine was still under my after market warranty (only 3500 miles of warrenty left) had the dealer give it a going over===replaced u joints front end sway bars -stabilizer bars--can't remember what else. Came to just shy of 1500.00 (including the fuel line)
The Direct Warranty Policy i bought after i bought this truck has put a "ton" of money in this truck for me. Would like to renew but not sure, they want 3500.00 to add another year with no milelage restrictions, can't trade for 3500.00 and this warranty is as good or better than the factory warranty on a new one ??
