Well, the truck in my sig has a slight problem... The injection pump has several scored barrels that are hanging up. The bigger problem; I don't have $1600 for a new one, or even $725 for one of those Pensacola diesel rebuilt pumps. This is my only mode of transportation to work and I am the ONLY employee other than the owner so there are no options to carpool with someone.

This really is a kick in the teeth for me since I am a disabled veteran and don't exactly have many other employment options in the area and I'm already in the red with everyone ... So, I really am at a loss right now because I'm pretty much screwed. Guess all I can do at this point is rant and hope maybe someone has one heck of a deal out there somewhere

 

yowie, howd the barrels get scored? Im assuming you had an injection shop give you that diagnosis?
A local shop was trying to unload a takeoff used 175hp pump awhile back, dont know if he still has it but Ill ask.

 

Hes looking for 800 which doesnt help you out
Ill keep my eyes open though, good luck with it

 

Well, the injection shop only confirmed what I already knew... I am a diesel mechanic by trade, disabled bum via United States Marine Corps I can hear the tick-ity tick-ity tack from the pump side of the engine and it relates with the dead misses

Well, I may have found a deal. but either way it looks like I'm gonna be selling my tractor (listed in sig) to pay for this and a few other bills

250hp pump from an 8.3 that was in a garbage truck for $500. Don't know about a warranty or anything like that and no record of mileage or hours so it's a crap shoot, but what other choice do I have?

 

have you checked out this one?

Those things look exactly like our p-pumps. Will they work on the 5.9? Gotta be a catch or everyone would be looking for them

 

nope the input shafts are the EXACT same; the only thing that can give you a headache is piping oil to them and sometimes the fuel return side of things. But I have a fuel pressure regulator on the return side instead of an OFV so I'm golden and I have all the flaring and (proper) bending tools to make the oil lines

I had plans for an Ag P-pump, but since I have yet to find one and I kinda need one, well, yesterday.... I have to stick with the automotive governor for awhile longer. I am going to see if the washer mod works on the 250hp pump as well since I will be able to set it on my bench for the install.

EDIT:

Thanks for the find Rusty; looks to be the exact same as the one at the local junk yard... Just better
