Labor costs????

[Imfinallystroken]

I was wondering what most diesel mechanics would charge to pit in new headstuds and gaskets on an 06? Not the parts but just the labor. I'm new to owing a diesel. I just picked up an 06. It's has the egr delete, intake, exhaust, cat delete. I really just want to make my truck as bullet proof as it possibly can be. The coolant has been flushed and am running delo oil. I was thinking about getting a tuner with custom tunes from innovate. Do I need to get gauges. The truck has the boost gauge right? But I'm not sure about what else I would need to gauge. It also is running 37 x 13.50 on a fabtech 8" lift. Sold rear axle too. What is the best thing I can do to the truck to get the best mileage and to make it bullet proof?

I believe it took 32hr to do the job x $90 per hr here in west palm beach you have to check the hourly rate in your area

I would expect a labor rate of somewhere around $75-100. Depends on your shop.

Check out the Edge insight. It'll gauge everything you want except fuel pressure which supposedly will be an ad-on within the month. At least thats what the Edge rep told me on the phone last week. And don't look for great mileage running 37x13.5's. That isn't gonna happen.

Our local dealership wanted around $2500.00 just for labor, so I'll do it for $2250.00.
