dkachma Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 would any know the proper retail labour times for replacing or pretty well going through all the same steps listed in the coolant lost TSB but under reatail times, our labour manual book is way outta date and the way our front end counter guy figured it retail times pays less that what warranity pays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshbuys Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 The labor guide times do not reflect ford tsb times, but rather go off of the times located in slts for those operations and therfore often pay less than tsb's. in our shop all the tech's and advisors and shop foreman sat down and agreed on some times for cooler jobs, we came up with a total of 17.0 hours to do coolers on a truck, this includes diag - 2.3hrs, r&r coolers - 8.5hrs, clean turbo - 2.5hrs, clean intake - 1.0hrs, flush and fill coolant and change oil - 2.7hrs. TSB times for this pays 10.4 on the trucks, and 13.1 on the vans - the vans pay approx. 26% more than the trucks on this tsb, so we would charge 26% more than the 17.0hrs we charge for trucks or 21.5hrs.

Keith Browning Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 clean intake - 1.0hrs For less than 1 hours labor in cost you can have the intake hot tanked. That is unless your parts department doesn't mark it up. Having it cleaned is neater for you and more thorough. We have a clean manifold tucked away to use when we need to have one cleaned therefore there is no waiting to get it back to complete the job.
