made it

well $150 later for the pump and to get it shipped to BFN we got it installed in the hotel parking lot with headlamp during a blizzard eeehhhh. New pump went in fine...the old one was missing over 1/16in of metal off the impeller blades and coolant was laced with shavings. Caught every drop of coolant we drained and filter it through coffee filter before refilling as there was nothing but green coolant at the gas station. less than hour and back on the road. Im still under my cummins warranty so she going to the dealer with the old pump in hand hoping they will pull the reman out flush coolant and put a brand new one it. But it got us home....and turned out we broke down in the deep snow snowmobiling mecca and rode two days while waiting for parts so turned out good

Always a day late, and a dollar short.

Warranty may be denied since you added the wrong coolant and you've already changed the pump.
