Replacing fuel injectors on a Dodge Charger typically runs about $600 to $2,000, depending on engine type, how many injectors are involved, and labor rates. In some cases, injector cleaning or testing can be cheaper, while a full replacement on a high-performance V8 or Hellcat model may push toward the upper end.
To understand the price, it helps to know what affects the cost and which Charger engines are most common. The Charger uses six injectors on most V6 configurations and eight injectors on many V8/Hemi setups. Labor costs vary by shop and region, and additional parts such as the fuel rail, O-rings, and seals can add to the total. Below is a detailed look at typical costs and what drives them.
What affects the cost
Several factors determine how much you’ll pay for injector work on a Charger. Each of these can shift the overall price significantly.
- Engine type and injector count (six injectors for most V6 models, eight for many V8/Hemi models, including 5.7L and 6.4L variants).
- Parts quality, including OEM/dealer injectors versus aftermarket replacements.
- Labor time and local hourly rates (urban areas and dealers generally cost more).
- Whether the fuel rail, seals, and O-rings need replacement or service alongside the injectors.
- Whether ancillary services are needed (fuel filter replacement, fuel pressure testing, diagnostics).
- Whether you opt for cleaning/servicing injectors instead of replacing them (often cheaper but not suitable for all failures).
Because these variables vary by model year, engine configuration, and region, it’s wise to obtain multiple quotes and clarify what’s included in the price (parts, labor, tax, and core charges).
Typical cost ranges by engine
Here are ballpark ranges for common Dodge Charger engines to help you plan your budget.
- 3.6L Pentastar V6 (6 injectors): Parts roughly $240–$600 for six injectors; labor typically 2–4 hours at $100–$150/hour; total estimated range about $600–$1,500.
- 5.7L Hemi V8 (8 injectors): Parts roughly $400–$1,000; labor about 3–5 hours; total commonly $1,000–$1,900.
- 6.4L (392) Hemi (8 injectors): Parts roughly $600–$1,200; labor about 4–6 hours; total around $1,200–$2,200.
- 6.2L Supercharged Hellcat (8 injectors): Parts roughly $800–$1,600; labor around 4–6 hours or more at a specialty shop; total often $1,500–$2,500 or higher.
Note: Prices vary by model year, exact engine configuration, regional labor rates, and whether the service is performed at a dealership, independent shop, or performance shop. Some shops offer injector cleaning as a cheaper alternative, but this may not fix a leaking or heavily fouled set.
Summary
For most Dodge Charger owners, anticipate a total bill that ranges from the hundreds to the low thousands, depending on the engine and injector count. A 3.6L V6 replacement typically falls around $600–$1,500, while V8/Hemi models (5.7L, 6.4L, 6.2L) are more often in the $1,000–$2,000 range or higher, especially at a dealer or specialty shop. Always get multiple quotes, confirm what is included, and discuss whether injector cleaning is appropriate for your symptoms.
