$800 sound about right for a 22re fuel pump?

$800 sound about right for a 22re fuel pump?
I'm asking for a buddy. His 92 pickup recently died and this is the quote he got from a mechanic. The mechanic has a really good rep and is known to be honest and trustworthy. The price sounds a little high to me though but I'm not sure exactly what's involved in the job. The quote was roughly 1/2 labor, 1/2 parts.
Is the fuel pump inside the tank? That's about the only way that much labor would make sense to me.

I once swapped one on a 79 2WD Toyota Pickup (20R) and the pump was inside the tank just like yours is.
I siphoned/drained out the gas, dropped the tank, swapped the pump over, replaced the tank and then refilled with gas all in about 3 hours - that was when i was 16 and my dad was helping. The pump was something like $40 at the local Autozone.

on his pickup, the fuel pump is inside the tank.
$800 sounds high for that though. I would think half that would be enough. Call the local dealership and ask them what they would charge. At least get them to quote you a price on the pump. it really isnt hard to change out. You may want to see if you can do it youreself.

yes, and the pump on a '79 20R truck is inside the tank too! i've changed one!
it's not the most pleasant job, but if you can get the gas out of the tank(there's a drain plug in the bottom, it only takes a couple hours. i'd rather change a fuel pump than change a clutch. definitely not worth $800.

If I had a high reach tranny jack and a lift (read: in a regular repair shop) it'd be about 2 hours. Elton's right - $300 installed.

[QUOTE=midiwall]Ummm... wow that's expensive. It's like a 3 hour job for a guy in his driveway with the tank full (read: HEAVY) and only a floor jack to balance it on. [QUOTE]
Yep, i've done that like 3 times now (to my '86 p/u) the last time it only took me 2 hours 15 min...all 3 times were within 2 days, oh and the tank was damn near empty lol
If i was your buddy i'd do it myself and save like $600!! Buy some New Tires!!! lol

Have him talk to the mechainic and see if that's a "Toyota Original" part or not. The dealer is very high on their parts. That might be where the problem lies. Labor should be no more than $65/hr. But even at $100/hr it should be no more than $450. Autozone has a pump for $136 and a seal for $19.
ลลลล! You could have someone fly out to where ever he lives to do it in his driveway for $800. That of course depends on the price of the airline tickets. It might be tough if he lives in Hawaii or something.

I get many of my Genuine Toy parts from the above site (wholesale prices)
I just looked up a 92 pick-up and retail was 301 for the FP and wholesale was 217.
I agree that dropping the gastank on a Pick-up is a minor PITA......but is it worth $583 labor for someone else to do it? ZUK
