The complete repair kit is $3300 and the book time is 18 hours so I think that 10 -12 k number that we hear of is BS. More accurate would be to say it keeps a $1k repair from becoming a $6k repair.
Edit: It could be that if you just have your truck towed to the nearest Ford dealer and pay the bill when its time to pick up the truck you'll be dinged with a 10 - 12k repair bill but I know that is not how I would handle it if it were my truck.
But you are not the average soccerdad consumer who only knows that his new Ford Powermax is kooler than his neighbors Durastroke....or whatever they call them things. And that its def, like def jam on MTV back when he was in hi school.
For that dude, it's $10k as soon as the tow truck pulls his new Durapad, or was it Powerpad, sht I forgot, truck to the stealer.
There's mechanics in the back Indian Leg wrestling to see who's gonna get to milk some sucker for twice the going rate!

He has enough money to float the payment on a new truck. How much you think they'll charge him??
