Just for giggles, I called the dealer. $426 (in stock) for the part compared to $334 at the parts store. Service said $170 labor, almost worth it to let them F with it. Except they're the ones who created the coolant leak when they flushed my coolant. Better just to do the wrenching myself so at least I know where to check for the screwups. Okay, tune up time so I can get that blue ox back on the road. -Dean a little knowledge is a dangerous thing

My old Dodge pickup had a noisy fuel pump from day one. At about 115k, I decided to change it as a preventative measure. Two years later when the replacment pump went I found those linesman's pliers I thought I'd lost sitting on top of the tank. Check your toolbox. Craig
