Well, more agrivation at this point.
THey were supposed to order the LPOP parts last tuesday, the 13th. Well their "computers were down" till the 15th and they ordered the parts then and said they would arrive Monday the 19th. Called Monday, no parts. They didn't call me yesterday, and havn't yet today. I will be calling them in a little while to find out what is going on.
They can't tell me whether or not the diesel mechanic checked the bypass yet (blamed on the computers being down again), and it seems like he is never there for them to ask...
I guess you can't order things over the phone anymore, or they just dont' have a phone, which would make since because they never call me anyways!

They called me just now. The Rotor assembly is on backorder until August 16th. I've searched online also and it's on backorder everywhere.
What's the p/n for that Melling pump and where can I get one?

Does the M208 cross over to the Ford p/n XC3Z-6608-AA?
And how much more oil does it flow compared to the stock unit? Is the Melling pump going to last? I don't want to replace it again...

Another vote for Melling, but still wondering if it's really an LPOP issue.
So sad, but so true. I recently had to replace the slave cylinder on my truck.
For the clutch hydraulics.
For my manual transmission.
When I called on the phone and asked, they assured me they stocked them. I asked them to check anyway and they asked year, make, model, etc. to enter stuff in the computer. Then he asked, automatic transmission?
What's even worse is they had to order the part in. Came in after lunch so I show up after that and ask for the same I guy that ordered the part for me. Same routine with year make and model, and the same friggin automatic or manual transmission? as he just typed into the computer.

My favorite was when I was looking for parts for a ford taurus and they asked 2 or 4wd.
Sounds to me that they still don't know whats going on with your truck and trying to buy time. The messed up thing is when The IH dealer I worked at needed parts from international they had to be orderd by computor their was no other way to order them if the parts were from cummins or cat or another IH dealer we could get them over the phone. You could have them check to see if other dealers have them in stock but it sounds like the melling is a much better unit.
