Cost of dealer gear install

[DuRsT]

Has anyone priced out what it would cost to install gears at your local Ford dealer?

If you're talking about new ring and pinion to change the ratio, I'd guess $1,600 including parts. Not sure I'd ever trust it again, though.

What do you mean?

I inquired and was quoted $1100 in Canadian dollars for parts & labour. The bill was $2150 CAD. I showed them my quote and they honoured it but told me someone made a mistake with that quote.
Also, I’ve had the rear gear changed out in numerous vehicles and never had an issue. Ever !

Wow that was quite a disconnect from the quote to the bill.

I remember when I had a Subaru seeing the total shock and disbelief of a customer upon being told her bill was $1k. She was expecting a couple hundred and looked like she was going to pass out.

Ford's customer service was miles ahead of our Subaru dealer and we were 3 time Subie purchasers. One reason there are no Subies at the household presently

I got a quote from a local Ford dealer, which does performance installs, and they quoted me $350 for parts and 4 hours labour, total about $800 Canadian.

That’s only about $600 US, that would be great.

My local dealer quoted me $300 to install the PP1. So to pop the K&N filter in, and load up the tune would be $300. Seemed a bit excessive

The one where I bought my car wouldn’t quote me on it.

This was right after I got it and was curious as to what their prices were since they’re a Roush dealer and have an aftermarket department.

They recommended a speed shop that was close to them. I went by there and never made contact with the guy. Come to find out several months later the owner of that shop killed his wife and tried to use 100lbs of charcoal to cremate her body. Yikes.

It really depends on dealer. The dealer that installed my PP1, charged 1 hour labour, but when I quoted the gear swap with them, they quoted me over 10 hours for labour. Call around

Wtf....

Errrr on that note, I paid $350 to have a new ring and pinion installed as well as a t lock rebuild. This was in 07 at a private shop, dealer I’m sure would be much more.
