The Max needs some love, thats putting it mildly. I have priced parts and I can get them all online for under 700 but anyone have any idea how much the following would cost in a shop for labor?

Replace PW pump and hoses
Replace water pump
Replace y-pipe ( I might do this myself)

I have done the y-pipe and water pump myself. I recommend replacing both of these yourself. The water pump isn't hard, just a bit time consuming.

no, 5 was the line the charge is on,
Water pump is 3.6 hours, Power steering hoses 1.1 hours, power steering pump .9 hours

The prices shown there are based on a $75 an hour labor rate (our local average rate)

Ahhhh I see now. Not too bad when all said and done. Looks like I need to make a few phone calls to local shops and verify those prices for these parts. Thanks!!

Not to hijack my own post but in your opinions is the extra 50 bucks worth getting the Y-pipe in stainless?
