they are fairly easy to replace and it should run you about 35 dollars. that is what i gave for mine at autozone.

be careful not to crack the housing when tightening the bolts when you put it on becase it is just aluminum.

You're got a Haynes/Chiltons right? It'* simple, but tedious. The last one I changed took 3 or so hours, and it was only the second I've changed on a 3800.
