I have a 1983 CJ7 and the fan belt and ripped twice and now my mechanic is saying I need a new crank pulley and that will run me 265 just for the parts and another 300 for labor. is the price on the part correct? that seems extremely expensive
That is extremely expensive...but mechanics have a mark-up to follow. Labor seems a bit high, that's roughly 5 hours of labor at $60/hr It doesnt take 5 hours to do one of these. I can pull a AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and totally disassemble it in that amount of time
Check the classifieds.......go over them meticulously and you will find a good harmonic balancer. I got one for $20 off of Pirate4x4.
83 CJ7 350 tbi, TH350, D300 twin sticked & clocked, narrowed Chief D44 Eaton Elocker & Moser shafts, Explorer 8.8 Detroit locker, 410's, RE 4.5" spring lift 1" body lift, 35" Claws, cage tied to frame, Corbeau baja seats, HD tie rod and draglink, u-bolts flipped, custom skid plate and sliders, Warn 9.5ti winch with Amsteel synthetic line
yeah the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . i talked to them today and he said he would look around for some aftermarket or used ones but claims thats what the dealer said. basically told him I wasnt paying that. seems online you can get new ones for 70 bucks. thanks for your help guys
