$730 for a Fuel Rail!!!
I have a 90 Cherokee 4.0L and my local dealer quoted me a price of $730
for a new fuel rail. I realize prices can sometimes be high, but can this be right? I found some places online with much cheaper prices. I'm a new Jeep owner, so I am just venting at hearing this price. Is this typical of dealer prices for parts? Thanks, JB Honolulu |
Re: $730 for a Fuel Rail!!!
New owner? Well your 1st mistake was buying a Jeep while your 2nd was going
to a dealer to look for parts. Find a good shop capable of outfitting your newest hobby, this is just the start of a lengthy, addictive relationship with your Jeep. BTW: I couldn't believe the price of oversize tire carriers w/ the bumper. You'll find the majority of us research the specs of a brand we like then make it ourselves when we find the time. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Redge Egder http://members.allstream.net/~kaessie/jeepin/ Inquiro Et Invenio...

Pretty typical for me, but my dealer sample size is only 1. Last month my local dealer clipped me for parts for my `89 Cherokee: Coolant pump: $113.10 Radiator: $356.50 Serpentine belt: $ 50.03 Radiator hose: $ 27.39 Radiator hose: $ 29.24 The radiator is a discontinued part from D-C, so it was an aftermarket unit. It is a profit center for them. |

Re: $730 for a Fuel Rail!!!
My thoghts exactly, what wears out in a fuel rail? For those items that
don't wear out or are prone to breakage I would go to a wrecking yard. I bought an entire 89 Cherokee Laredo with only minor damage (but mjor rust) from my insurance company for $550.

Re: $730 for a Fuel Rail!!!
Thanks for all who replied. I also agree, now that I have done some
digging. The diagnosis was reported to me by the previous owner. I suspect this young girl who owned the Jeep was being taken for a ride by her mechanic, which is why she sold it to me for such a low price. Upon investigating it today, and with the help of a cooperative parts dealer, I also figure it must be the o - ring. That will be my project for the weekend. As I said, I am new to the vehicle, which is why I came here, to hear the voices of experience. I don't know much yet, but as Redge Edger says, it will be an addictive relationship. And yes I have heard that song before. Previous car - 83 Jaguar (talk about a pipeline to my bank account!) Thanks again JB |

Re: $730 for a Fuel Rail!!!
A related Dealer co$t $tory...
It's been nearly 50,000 miles since the fluids were changed in the XJ. I thought first to go to the Jeep dealer from which it was originally bought. Their estimate for changing the transaxle, differentials and (auto.) trans. was $570. Note that the transmission work would be siphoning-out the fluid, not dropping any filtrarion screens, changing seals, or the like. Is this the preferred method? I think I smell a D-I-Y project coming up. Jim |

Thanks to all who responded.
Yes, it was the o-ring. Took 20 minutes to fix. The previous owner was quoted a $900 figure to repair from a local mechanic. This is why she sold me the vehicle for $600. Runs great, look forward to putting on many more miles! Until the next time... JB |
