Is 2600 dollars a fair price in ford for a broken rear timing chain cassette on a 2006 explorer?

I took my explorer to ford and they diagnosed that the noice I been asking about is coming from a the rear timing chain cassette. So they have to pull the motor out and service the broken cassette. My problem is I'm getting charged 600 bucks for parts and I found in ford parts the timing chain kit is only 255.33 plus tax I know a couple of gaskets need to be put on but I have doubts that is 600 dollars worth in parts

The truck isn't worth it. 2800 is an average repair price

Hi so as it takes a skilled mechanic to fit these parts and his time is more expensive than the parts what did you expect.

  • Ford explorer timing chain rattle? Does replacing the hydraulic tensioner fix that rattle noise on the timing chain, mines only does it every cold start. My explorer has 144,000 miles on it please help…
  • 2002 ford explorer xlt 4.0 timing chain tensioner? I'm thinking about replacing the timing chain front and right side tensioner it rattle doing cold start then when warm it goes away. I never worked with this type of vehicle and little worry about timing chain moving while I take the tensioner out. Any hint on how to remove this tensioner without going into bigger trouble.
