All fine, but the engine is definitely too warm.
My dealer here in NJ wants $1500 to replace it. I figure parts at retail is about $500 from what I see (water pump, new bolt kit and thermostat) and about 2-3 hours for labor? At $145 an hour for labor I figure $1000 should be ample? Looking around for another shop to do it.

You can definitely do it yourself. If you have tools and can get to a lift it's a breeze. Shops are charging way too much.
