My injection pump started leaking. Does anyone know ballpark what I should expect to pay for the rebuild, and of a shop stateside who could rebuild it?
Where is it leaking? I did the big rear o-ring this year and everything is awesome now.

I have gotten a few questions as to where to find the o-ring repair kit. Here is the link. They also sell other seal kits.

This kit may be all you need to reseal your leak. I would check for compatibility before you buy it.The best i can tell is that it is leaking from the rectangle shaped seal below the throttle actuator. Its leaking like a sieve.
For that price I'd dive into my own pump, looks like the best available seals.This kit may be all you need to reseal your leak. I would check for compatibility before you buy it.

Keeping in mind that those cars' pumps are different and all the seals won't work.

That would make a great "How To" writeup when you do it.
Come mess your world up completely and drive one. Will have a finished one in NYC later this month and one in Wisconsin in early 2020. Not sure how accomodating those owners will be on test drives but they both share the enthusiasm. Have one from Philly that we are doing for another shop soon, one from Tenn for an airline Capt, and another one for Seattle to do first quarter.I have been licking my eyebrows on doing a cummins 2.8 swap, so I didn't really want to shell out the coin on a ip anyway. I ordered the reseal kit. I'll post how it goes.
Keith, hadn't even thought that far ahead. Sept is a long way off. Kraig plans to be @ Moab and will bring Greystone. Given the expected attendance we may take a yet to be built display 110 or 130 out and leave one of the offroad 90's home, need to give that some thought.Doug, are you bringing any west again in 2020?
