Had a co-worker approach me today about a possible side job. I've been thinking about getting back into it for a while, so I'm open to consideration.
That said, the truck is a 03 Explorer with the 4.0. Dealer told him it's the rears, which means the engine has to come out.
Anybody done one of these? Trying to get a feel for pricing. I'm honestly leaning around $1000-$1250 for labor + parts. Too much? Too little? I no longer have access to alldata to see book times, so I'm just taking a guess here.
I'd honestly rather the guy just get a low mile salvage engine and I'd tell him $800 for R&R. I hadn't planned to get into big side jobs (not enough time really), but then again everybody has a price.
