Mike I have kits and rebuild all pumps for our 300's. The 55/56 is the toughest due to the large casting. We media blast the entire casting inside and out. The seal surface is part of the casting and must be machined. You will get the best workmanship available. The inside of casting is coated to reduce corrosion. We install new bolts on the access plate. New shaft , bearing and seal, US made. Final step, prime coat the exterior of the raw casting. Labor $154 + $37 kit. If I can help let me know, Thank you, Gary, the parts doc Reno, Nevada 89521 USA The Biggest Little City In The World Mail: garythepartsdoc@xxxxxxxxxxxx 775 851-1420 -----Original Message----- From: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mke Galassi Sent: Friday, July 10, 2009 10:44 PM To: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [Chrysler300] More on water pumps I quickly concluded I should not tackle the job, I called Egge, price $195 but no kits on hand; Friction in Damascus OR, price, $65 ; OG in Lubbock Tx; $118. How can there be such a variation, $65 makes me suspicious of the work. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS?
