Thanks Bob!



Does Rip carry it?

 

[Cummins4Life]

I'm pretty sure he does. I got my last 4200 replacement from him a few months ago.

Mark ... . Call me in the A. M ! I wanna grab a spare 4200 (17,000 miles on this one)

 

[TORQUE THIS]

I sent Rip a e-mail, yes they have them!



TMTT, will do! Check you PM

 

[willyslover]

what did they change on them ??

 

[Wheaties]

Yes, I'd like to know what they did to solve the problems they were having!!!

My 4200 is still running strong... <pause to knock wood>... . I wonder if it could use a little preventive maintenance.

MTE,



Tighten the hose clamps, and put in a couple of freeze plugs. You seem to be having luck with that fix.

 

[Snow man]

Jeff,you forgot MTE also needs to fill the blinker fluid

 

[willyslover]

I sent Rip an e-mail asking him to post on this one as I would like to know what was done to them



I have an original one, not the upgraded one in my garage to install... so was wondering what I need to do to it to be ahead of the issues they had with them... [water inside the motor area I believe, could be wrong on this though].

LOL - they also seem to make the owner of the truck want bigger injectors... I like this side-effect. :-laf

When Gary speaks, I listen. Yep PE is up & running again. The 1st pump I ever purchased from them I installed on my truck. It was mid to late '02. It's still on there & hasn't missed a beat. PE DID experience some failures & from what I can tell stood behind them 100%. They've made changes along the way improving what I felt & still feel is an excellent product. What did they change ? They improved the case seal to keep moisture out. They do NOT consider them waterproof however. They've changed tolerances on the impeller vanes to cylinder walls, & changed the end play spec of the impeller also. They've substantially improved the "cartridge" is my understanding. Do I know what I'm talking about in this regards ? Nope... ... . but they DO... .....

 

[Wheaties]

So Rip,



Do they reccommend an upgrade, or do we wait for existing installs to fail, or what?

The database hasn't been updating me about additional comments on this thread and here you guys are ripping me up, and I don't even know about it.



Yes, that's it. Much bigger injectors will solve any problem!!!

WHOOO HOOOO Got a new pump coming !!!! Oo. Oo.

MTE: If you use the "Quick Reply" feature... you will not be updated with new additions to the thread.



The "Quick Reply" doesn't use your default settings... . so no SQL entries are filed that reflect your settings... and you don't get anything new showing up in your "User Control Panel".....



It's a neat feature, but it didn't take the workflow of the average end user into consideration.



More importantly - I would like to see an extended 'timeout' feature turned on. That way if I keep IE open to the TDR page and minimized... I can check for updates throughout the day instead of logging in and losing all the updates...



Stepping off soapbox/complaint riser... .

[Wheaties]

I see... I must have used the quick reply and it dropped me as subscribed to this thread. I'm a slow talker/typer anyway, don't really know what a 'quick reply' is.

[willyslover]

Rip. . did you add sillycone to yours when you installed or a shield to ward off the water ??



I know you live in a somewhat wet area LOL and would be a good test for water endurance...



reason I ask is I'll see a ton more issue when I move up Cd'A area soon. . so want to do everything I can to make this unit last. . maybe I'd better call and see if they will exchange it before I ruin it LOL



OH and thanks for the reply

 

[Rip Rook]

Wheaties, if your "cartridge" is older than 10/03 there are updates available from PE, but they want you to send it in.

Gary, I didn't do didley, just bolted it in. Depending on your manufacture date you may want an "update' before you install it... .

I'm not planning to touch mine till I need to... .
