Default Dodge 6.7L mechanics and turbo replacement

I'm looking for a dodge mechanic. I'm one myself and find the labor time for turbo replacement to be absolutely dispicable. I did 2 this week and both took 5 hours and paid 2. How long does it take you?

I'm a Ford diesel tech but I worked for dodge for a short period of time about a year ago. I never did a 6.7L turbo but I did a few 5.9's and yeah dodge's warranty labor times are ridiculous. I applaud you for working for them because I just couldn't do it, probably mostly because I was too used to working on Fords. I will say this, I'd rather work on a 6.7L over a 6.4 powerstroke any day, gotta pull the cab to get the turbos off on those bad boys.

Here is the labor ops, 09440101 (68 or 71) 1.7 hrs and 09440150 (41) 0.9 hrs. The last one took 3.5 hrs.

book time is a joke and is in ideal conditions
how they book them is new machines/trucks
what about rusted or broken bolts or just plain pain in the butt part to get to
Also what if you was to take the fender off it would be easy to get to then LMAO
Could you just see the owner of that truck " wtf are you doing taking my fender off" lmao
