Just called a shop and got quoted 5 hours for labor to replace my w/p for my 3.slow surely this is not a 5 hour job

Howdy all, great to be here... Just moved to Alaska and bought a 93 4runner, was told by a friend they last forever. Didn't have a chance to check it out like I normally would being on a tight schedule, but it looked clean and well kept up for an Alaskan truck.... here's my story..... the alarm...
