Story:
Buddy owned 1998 12 valve...quad cab, long bed dually, newer interior, leather...yeah yeah...it's "the truck"...It broke so he got mad at it and sold it to me and got himself a new truck.

So I finally get time to see what's going on with it and found that he ground his 100 plate too much and it fell off of the base into the pump I guess getting wedged into something and busting the fuel pump housing at the bottom right at the seal surface of the two pump halfs.
Is it possible to just buy parts to this pump and where do I get them if so?...like...just a case...(and prolly whatever that plate hit)...

I'm debating whether or not to even bother fixing it or to just sell it.

Thanks guys,
Will

 

you can get a good reman pump for 1100 not including core charge, look here, http://www.usdieselparts.com/gofetch.cfm

 

yeah, a frind, who let somethin fall into the pump and broke the case you talk about and messed the governor weights and everything up?
later i sold him my pump for 600 or 700 bucks!

i wouldnt sell the truck, id try to find a inj pump. you can get used ones for 300 bucks
is that truck a manual?

 

Good lord, I thought reman p pumps were like $3000! I'm glad to see they're not-even MORE reason to never switch to a vp-44 truck!

 

yup...nv4500

 

Me too. Thats news to me. Last time I checked they were around 3k.

I wonder who rebuilt that pump? The grade 11 shop class at the local high school?

 

US Diesel Parts (formerly Gomers) is just up the road from me.
These guys are top notch, but they don't rebuild the pumps, Bosch does.
Maybe you're thinking of the high price without an exchange.
Believe it or not I was quoted $1200 with exchange from the dealer in 1996.

 

LOL. I was just kidding.

I'm pretty sure that Piers doesnt sell them that cheap.



On a side note - Bill, how far are you from Missoula?

 

About 65 miles south.
I've looked at Piers' prices before and noticed some of them don't offer exchange.

 

The dragon flow pump is the only one that is $3000.

 

Someone already beat me to it. www.piersdiesel.com or try calling Bosch.

 

i will sell you a junk pump with a good case. you can drop off both pumps to your local shop and have them replace the bad parts.
