Is your quote fair?
A quote between $378 and $752 is inside the band where half of all Ford F-150 oil cooler line replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (one line in the open); above it is not automatically gouging (both lines, lines routed through the radiator support, a leaking cooler core replaced) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
- Lines or cooler — lines are the usual fix; a cooler core costs more mostly in labor.
- Engine vs. transmission — transmission cooler lines mean a transmission-fluid top-up with the exact spec fluid.
