    Is the work complete?

    Does the van work?

    Could you have done the work?

    If answers are Yes, Yes and No, I'd say it is a pretty fair price.

    I have changed water pumps on 318's in two cars, and one Dodge
    Sportsman van. The cars were easy compared to the van. The working
    room on the van was limited.

    I'm assuming it's a 2500 van and I picked a 2000 year just for example.
    Anyway it is same motor, 318.
    Pump is about $65.00
    Upper hose is $25.00
    Lower hose is $25.00
    Discount some for the mechanics price.

    So I would say you got a good deal!
