Thanks for some good info David. I didn't know he actually shipped to UPS, but as an angry Canuck, I refuse to deal with people/companies who only ship to Canada with UPS. That horrible example of a money-gouging company... Argh.
You've got a spare pump? Is it new? I guess I don't get that nice little core refund if I buy your though, eh? I think I'll check with the dealer to see if they've got one in stock. I'd like to install it this weekend. Tim 1982 300TD Moby On 10/25/05, David Bruckmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If it's a water pump you need, don't waste your time getting it from > the US.
