I received my VP44 on time from www.mwfi.com. It looks like it was made in CZ and it only came with a lock washer and a nut, it did not have a new O ring with it so I'm stuck with a tore apart truck for the next 4 days until I get a new one. Also if I knew it was made in CZ and not rebuilt in house I would of ordered the cheapest one on the market from a different company.

Looks like I also didn't receive 4 washers and a check valve, Thank god I found the Oring 30miles away. I'm assuming I can change the washers and check valve after the install.

I got a pump from a different shop, but had the same thing happen to me with regards to getting a pump made in CZ. I guess it's a common practice among US pump builders.

The next time I order a pump I'll make sure that I ask if I'll get a pump rebuilt in the USA before I give them a CC number.

I got one MWFI about 4 months ago. They had the best price by far, the best core program (no upfront costs) and they are a quick shipper.

The #'s on the pump they sent me did not match but they said on the phone it is the correct pump for my truck. So far no codes have came up and my dead petal is gone. The company was nice enough to send me the parts that were missing in overnight air mail.
