How much could it be in labor and parts to change a water pump and on a 2000 Dodge Durango 5.9 four wd with 109k.miles? am I supposed to change the timing chain? If you may be able to give me a estimated thanks.



I to get tired of old Vechiles LOL

The cheap water pump from oreillys is $46, the higher class one is around $70. As far as labor, Mitchell OnDemand calls for two hours flag rate time to change it out. You',ll most likely be looking at at least one gallon of antifreeze also for what will be lost changing it out, and I could recommend changing the thermostat when you change the water pump. The 5.9 uses a timing chain, which I wouldnt recommend replacing, seeing as the car has that low of miles on it. I',m not sure how much labor costs in your area, but the shop I work at charges $75 per flag rate hour. if we were to do it, taxes and everything it could be right around $250. If you live in a big city, you',ll most likely be expecting to pay around $100 a hour for labor at a reputable shop. Good luck and hope this helps.

I don't know where you live, your best bet could be to find a reputable garage in your area and get an estimate from them. Most will give you a rough idea of what you're looking at.

I could not go to a Dealership, you could have to get a loan for a dealer to do the same job.



A friend of mine that has a 2006 Ford F150 was given a quote of $1200 to do a tune up from a Ford Dealer, I sent him to the garage that does the work on all of my vehicles, he did everything the Dealership goed to do and charged him $300. shop around and see what kind of price you may be able to get, see if you may be able to find anything out about the garage about what kind of work they do, will they stand behind there work or not.

it can cost a lot $900 + to have someone do it.i could recommend doing it yourself if you know a little about cars. you have to take off the fan shroud and the radiator to get to the water pump. it isn't hard, but can take a while.



you most likely don't have to replace the timing chain unless you may be able to hear it or know its going bad, as long as you change your oil on a regular basis then you may want to be good.
