Did my mechanic just rip me off?!?!?!
I own a 1998 dodge 1500 5.9L V8....its pretty good shape and runs great...
However it started leaking fluid from the radiator. When i took it to my mechanic he said that the plastic shroud that covers the fan had warped and started to rub the radiator. According to him it rubed a small hole in the radiator. I asked if it could be welded (my dad owns a machine shop) and the mechanic immediately told me it couldnt. So i took his word for it. So he ordered a new radiator and installed it, then charged me over $500!!! I keep running the numbers in my head and i think there is no way it should of been that much!!! Just wanted yalls opinion...;)..thanxs |

if its a plastic tanked/alumnium core radiator...yes the rad itself is 300 or more...then a shroud and labor/coolant...it could have gone higher
