Buying a VP44 in Canada (Kamloops B.C)

Im just waithing on some ideas on a thread i started last night, but if it is the VP44, does anyone know of a reliable source in Canada? I called Lordco, and they didnt know what i was talking about. Im sure a Dealer would squeeze all life out of my wallet. Can you get them used from a wrecker or is that dumb???? Any ideas?

Piers Diesel out on the west coast might be a good place to check also.

Or Peak Diesel, where Harry and Piers now work. Call around to some injection shops. Or even Cummins. Better yet, buy one in the states, have it sent to a PO Box and pick it up across the border.

I haven't been down that way for awhile, but is Thompson Rivers Diesel Injection still around? They used to be on Notre Dame I think near that wholesale sports place. They might be able to point you in the right direction if not help you right there?

I wouldn't trust that. You're not dealing with any of the malfunctions. Generally, they fail due to electronics, or an actual mechanical failure. I don't think there are too many that spring leaks.

Interior diesel out of salmon arm is the best we have around here. give rob a call 250 833 4299 he has the bestr warrenty around...unlike BD. he get new pumps not rebuilt ones.some companys only replace the part that went...so you could be getting a "rebuilt pump" but everything else would have 300000 on it..*cough cough bd cough
