$600 is completely unfair for an EGR valve replacement on this vehicle.
An reasonable to somewhat expensive shop should charge $80/hour of work,
plus parts. It took me two hours, (most of the time finding the part). The
part was somewhere around $50. Therefore, it should have cost no more than
$200 (and I consider that expensive… $150 to $175 sounds fair for this
part).
I always go to local chains for my repairs. Meaning, a place that has 5-6
shops in my local area. I never go to gas stations, or to big chains like
Sears because I don’t trust the mechanics in there.
The shops I’ve been to, and would recommend: Mass Tire, Windsor Tire, New
England Tire & Automotive. You probably don’t have these around you, but
these are the kinds of places that I look for. Usually located near your
town center.
Good luck all.
Yeah I couldn’t find it before either. Why did you change the valve? I had
it suggested to me because my truck is stalling out at low rpm
I had that little sum bitch replaced in my 2005 Dodge Durango so I can meet
the requirements to pass Illinois’ emissions standards. COST ME $710.00! I
still get very angry when I think of it. Check engine light came on
yesterday. It coded EGR valve. Not happy.
good video, thanks, saved a lot of time from having to dig through the
manual and removing the air filter to find it not there….
Had this part replaced when I was 16… Cost me 600 bucks. Man I got ripped
off so bad.
The part itself cost me just over $30
My ’05 Ram 1500 stalls out at low RPMs as well and the code my truck brings
up is my EGR code
And with a few hours of labor I could have my truck running as good as new!
Thanks for the tips on what to use man! Greatly appreciated!
