My truck died on me today in my daughters drive way, popped a P0148 code, basically fuel system. I don’t have time to mess with it.

ICP sensor?? :dunno:
Isn't that the code that sets when the pump fails?
(I'm assuming it's a Cummins)

It basically covers all fuel problems with the engine.
Thanks for the replies everyone.

:yeah: Maintenance schedule at 25k miles. Oil, fuel air inspection and lube. In manual it is due for oil change and fuel filters. I bought OEM parts $165? Oil $70. Doing it today for second time. So yeah it is at least $500+ for hours wortk of work at most. I also have fuse bad for trlr light. I asked about that and quote was 1 hour at $150. FU Dealership. :sry:
What do you bill hourly in your business?
You work for free?
Even though this has literally nothing to do with the OP’s question or the thread in general.

Hourly charge trumps billable hour most every time👍

:yeah: $150 to change a fuse. Yeah tell ya self what makes ya feel good but we all know when we are bent over. Truck was in for cp4 recall replace so I think shop was making its $ just fine that day.... :bash:
I was more responding to mountainman.
Did they really tell you it was $150 to change the fuse or did they tell you it was $150 to diagnose an electrical issue? I’m assuming if you knew it was just a fuse, you wouldn’t have needed to take it to a dealership but I might be wrong. I’ve gotten lots of cars fixed by replacing fuses. I’ve also never charged any of those people an hour’s labor to do it. I have charged them a half hour labor though. We don’t have a crystal ball and we have no way of knowing a fuse is blown when you roll in. You don’t work for free… do you? No

Yes it is the rght trailer blinking fuse. Micro 15 amp. Under hood in fuse box. Already diagnosed. Yes it was in there for a multi thousand repair under recall. YES they quoted $150. Yes I often do things for my customers for "free". Children hands in concrete for example. Should I charge the 3yo kid for that effort ya think? Yes many things pop up and no I dont micro charge every detail but instead try to make customer happy and to feel good they hired a respectful considerate person.
So you told them to replace the fuse and they still tried to charge you $150 to do it? That's lame.
I feel like actually diagnosing an electrical problem and replacing a fuse is probably a little bit more involved that letting a 3 year old stick his hand in some wet concrete though.
