So, a well known chain shop has my truck. I went in and asked to have the water pump and it's pieces replaced because it was going bad. Normally, I would have done it, but it's pretty tight in there and I simply didn't want to do it. Well, all of this turned into: a water pump, thermostat, all new radiator hoses, all new bolts for the pump (old ones apparently rusted and snapped), and now a new timing cover. As it stands, I'm going to be out well over a grand and I'm having to taxi back and forth to work. Does all this sound legit or am I getting it up the butt? I know you can't always predict what you're going to find/run into when you get in there, but this seems excessive.
