Today I had my 2001 ford E-150 van dual doors checked out because the first one
that opens started opening more slowly than usual and slower that the other.
Labor at my conversion company is $110 per hour
On the bill was written;
2.25. Labor. $220
1 shop supplies. $10
"Check power - "working slowly" . Open door & disconnect operator
arms-found hinges of right door had been "drilled" previously for applying
lube. (Could not swing door easily)
Apply penetrating lube (PB Blaster) to hinges . Lube lift at all moving
location-platform pivots, hinges, pins, connecting joints, etc.
Observed lift oil leaking from rubber plug a of side access plate.
Remove rubber plug and tap & install threaded plug.
Check oil level and add 1 pint of gear oil. Check EZ locks-lube jaws & check
operation.
Glue & ty-wrap passenger EZ-lock dash switch (hanging off bracket) Chech hand
control & hard wear -ok
Check power park break-ok
Check back-up steering operation, lines hoses, fittings & liquid level
Advise customer of maintenance required on power door hinge-monthly.
Total. $247.50
It took them 2 1/2 hours to do the work and 1/2 hour to type up bill
To me it seamed like it took a LOT longer then need be. But am greatfull to
have a van to repair.
