I might have skimmed a bit, but I do think that is a bit high for a valve body replacement. A friend of mine broke down on the highway in the middle of nowhere and had the valve body on his Outback 5eat replaced for about 1200-1800 if I remember correctly.
I have replaced a valve body laying on my back but that was a jetta tdi. I got a cheap ebay one for 140 bucks but I was prepared to walk away from it if I didn't succeed. Turned out fine.
Not sure about how much a pain it is on the Tribeca though.
