tune up help

mubarakm · Oct 15, 2010

iv'e passed 40k and thought it was time for a tune up on my 03 durango.
i took it to a mechanic my buddy recommended and he said wires were fine, air filter was okay, and i think he said the fuel cap cannot be changed or serviced on durangos because their underneath the fuel tank. i ended up paying 151 to change the spark plugs, they were champion brand or something like that ,

does all this sound right? and was it a fair price?

i though 4.7's were coil on plug

also, wtf with the fuel cap?

mubarakm · Oct 15, 2010

Shit, i never have and never would pay someone 150 bucks to do spark plugs.

You realize spark plugs are like what, 2 dollars,maybe 4 if you go with the best NGK, times 8, that's 32 dollars. so 120 in labor, and every time i ever did plugs, it's like a 20 minute job on a magnum, maybe an hour on the 4.7 cause theres more things in the way, but still, damn..

150 for a plug change is way to high.... could have done it yourself for less than half.

fuel filter is in the tank.
