Repair shop called this morn with a couple of options for the inj pump on the Dodge Cummins. A pump from the old trusted pump repair place is $2260 with a 12 mo. warranty. Then he said he found another unnamed place that has one for $1450 with a 6 mo. warranty.
I rocked back and forth a bit and then told them to order the $2260 pump. The $810 saved on the cheaper one might come back to bite me later.
By the time I pay the bill I'll have close to $6000 in this pickup since last fall but this is the first time I've paid any labor exept for the windshield and rear tire installation. So far I've thrown on all new tie rods, stabilizer, one front hub, calipers, rotors, windshield, four rear tires, headlights and now it's the fuel pump/sender in the tank and the inj pump. Are we at the point of no return or what? It shows what kind of trouble we can get into when we fall in love with a cold hearted vehicle.
This thing is purely a service truck. It's a long frame with a 10' flatbed, 500gal fuel tank, 28cfm compressor and various tool boxes so it's not a pleasure cruiser, just expensive service.Jim
