That's a tad high, even for a dealer, lol...I wanna say GM books 10 hours, I'm thinking the tab for replacing all 8 on LB7 was just shy of $4500. Still not cheap, though... [Edit: it could be more I suppose if it was a new Dmax, but they don't have the catastrophic injector failures the LB7s had.]

Swapping a Cummins in those early c/k's is fairly common it seems, but the best bang for the buck would be to simply drop a 454 in it.
