[Spridgets] Dealer Fuel Pump Fix

[Kirk Hargreaves]

My pump died on the way to the dump with a full load in the bed of dump
stuff.  Fortunately at the time, I had money . .I had just taken in a
windfall of 106k.

So I had the truck towed to the dealer (which is something I would not
typically do. .  knowing that I am going to take a bath).  As a matter of
fact I have never taken a vehicle to the dealer before for anything. .  but
it seemed convenient to just get it done.

This is the soaking that I got (not to make a pun):

$600.0 for the pump and around $300.00 for labor.   I paid them just under a
grand to have it repaired.  The Chevy dealer, where I bought the truck, was
dead set that the fuel pumps cost this much.   I had the money . . it was
done quickly and done correctly.  . and off I went back to the city dump to
dump my load.

I filed this under, "anything convenient, you are going to pay more."  But I
had no idea as to how much "more" I was going to get soaked for.

That will be the last time no matter how much I have in the bank.
