Default How much should it cost to get balance rates checked??

Around the end of November it will have been a year since I had the injectors replaced in my 03 LB7. Everything seems to be fine with them, but I have a 12 month warranty with them from the dealership and want to make sure everything is within specs before I lose the warranty. So I'm wondering how much I'm looking at to get the balance rates tested.

it should cost nothing as it only takes a few minutes to do but the dealer will likely charge a one hour minimum time for it.

i had mine checked at the dealer for warranty purposes. i will see if i can find the paperwork for it

Between the time it takes to write a ro and record the vehicle information and reading balance rates and evaluating all the pids for possible other indicators and hour of labor is fair imo. Its flagged at .5
