The guy that did the repairs was Mike Blood. He used a "lower quality" pump bushing and it cost me a pump. Once we pulled the tranny apart I found out he took a grinder to the steels.
Yep, when they do break it gets expensive quick. I was lucky, other than a heater hose, minor wiring, etc. the only troubles I had while driving big trucks was an injector pump on an NTC350 Cummins and a nose cone on a power divider in a SQHD front rear end. Both times I was able to get the parts and fix it myself. Oh! I forgot about having a pinion nut fall off the front rear end on the same rear end. The advantage for me was I was driving for someone so I didn't foot the bill!
