Pulling Pump Head for pre purchase inspection?

You need to get a agreement from the seller to what's going to happen if it has not been updated yet?

 

You couldn’t give me one of those bright red boat anchors. Get one that ever had one of those ceramic pumps in the same parking lot with it you may as well file the bankruptcy papers when you buy it. One of my lessors had a CM2250. He was over $50k into that engine in two months. It blew up 3 weeks after he put it in service, and it blew up again 15k km after the inframe. That’s all still in court, and he’s in an old Farmall with a Cummins that’s only red on the top.

 

Yup. Company i worked for a couple years back got several dozen ISX powered trucks. Turns out every single one of them had ceramic pumps. Within 2 weeks half of these brand new trucks were getting new engines. Within 3 months every single one of them had gotten at LEAST one new engine and several were on their 4th or in one case their 5th. That company sold as many as they could and went to paccars. Sadly we got stuck with one of the few they kept and that #### thing was in the shop every month for over 2 years for major expensive repairs.

It also doesnt help that my family has history with cummings motors. We consider the #### things cursed. This is because EVERY SINGLE TIME one of our family has gotten a cummings they tend to gernade within 6 months and be a constant never ending money pit. Doesnt matter if they are new or used either. Hell our family has had better luck with #### maxxforce engines.

 

Mine are all Cats, ‘05 or older. And there’s not a container anywhere on the continent that pays enough to make me change that.

 

Well no wonder you have had bad luck - it's Cummins, not cummings!

I'm just teasing you, I've never owned a Cummins.

 

You might of been getting the wrong coloured ones. The good ones were brown. The N14’s were good too, but the rest of the black ones and those red ####ers are poison.
