I have a 90 Cherokee 4.0L and my local dealer quoted me a price of $730
for a new fuel rail. I realize prices can sometimes be high, but can
this be right? I found some places online with much cheaper prices. I'm
a new Jeep owner, so I am just venting at hearing this price. Is this
typical of dealer prices for parts?

Thanks,

New owner? Well your 1st mistake was buying a Jeep while your 2nd was going
to a dealer to look for parts. Find a good shop capable of outfitting your
newest hobby, this is just the start of a lengthy, addictive relationship
with your Jeep.

BTW: I couldn't believe the price of oversize tire carriers w/ the bumper.
You'll find the majority of us research the specs of a brand we like then
make it ourselves when we find the time.

Pretty typical for me, but my dealer sample size is only 1. Last month my
local dealer clipped me for parts for my `89 Cherokee:

Coolant pump: $113.10
Radiator: $356.50
Serpentine belt: $ 50.03
Radiator hose: $ 27.39
Radiator hose: $ 29.24

The radiator is a discontinued part from D-C, so it was an aftermarket
unit.

It is a profit center for them.

write the folks at buymopar.com.

But why would you need a new rail? They just don't go bad.
O-rings yes, but a rail?
