Just sell it, cheap.

 

I don't believe that most Techs would pull the cab to change the manifolds.

 

I would suggest getting another shop's quote as well.

 

I dont know the exchange rates but it doesn't seem too far off, I think $2k stateside is about average if you include the parts in that.

It's not a cab off repair, but you have to remove the wheel well liners, and remove the turbos which require a new install kit for all the coolant connections and gaskets going back on, none of that is reusable. Then when you get to the manifold it's a pretty high likelihood of a broken stud that needs to be extracted. Just make sure when you do the repair that you use an upgraded manifold set that uses additional stud holes, that the big flaw in the design and half the guys here have dealt with it before. There are some really in depth posts on this forum that have everything you could ever want to know on this. You can practically follow my whole journey where these guys helped me through it.

 

Ive seen people lift the cab but it doesnt need to be lifted. I can be done in a home garage with normal tools

 

Get multiple quotes. It can be done without removing the cab, but accessing the coolant lines is a pain and removing the cab will make it easier. Some shops do it as a matter of course because it expedites access.

 

Where in Canada are you?
