Keith Browning Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 So my dealer is a medium duty truck dealer again... like we stopped working on them to begin with... and I had a 2012 6.7L Cummins in for it's first service. I have never been able to get the precious management in the company before it was sold to get real with serices and specifically the LABOR time we charge. So I am curius as to what other medium truck service departments are getting for a basic oil change, lube and vehicle inspection (like a QCI) add fuel dilters... add air filters. 0.4 hours just ain't right for a DOF and inspection which includes lubing the front end, setting tire pressures etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Shit, we used to get .8 for a super duty! MD trucks have a TON more grease fittings on them, plus whatever the add on service body is!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I get an hour for diesel oil changes in my shop on E-Series or F-Series (250 to 550). If one of these beauties ever showed up on my doorstep, I'd ask for 1.5 or I don't do it. I'd have to imagine there are at least 18 litres to re-fill if memory serves me correctly. For 0.4, I'd tell the advisor to give it to the lube jockey to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Correction I got 0.9! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The medium dutys have always been 1.5hr labor when I did them at the dealer and now I write POs for the same time labor times with our customer pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this is for a basic service right? Oil, lube and full inspection (short of any disassembly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 We charge 1 hour for the oil and filter change, plus 0.4 for chassis lubrication on medium duty. Compared to 0.8 for oil and filter, plus 0.2 for chassis lubrication on 250-550 trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil, lube and full inspection (short of any disassembly) Its a oil and filter change, Fuel filter replacement(engine dependent), the typical inspection and lube all the grease points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
