$95 plus shipping back to you. Takes 3 - 5 days.

He also mentioned that the impeller breaks from time to time. The have exact replacement impellers.

Im going this route and I know Ill have a good pump.

I wonder if they will sell just the impeller, shaft bearing, and seal. I've never had a pump sent to someone that rebuilds them, but it seems a bit expensive. Tho I can see they do excellent work and have an impressive guarantee.

At $95 you can't beat that. If you go to the auto parts store you get the wrong one for half the price.

True.... you got me on that one Paul. But we're trying to alleviate the 'wrong one' problem.

We just might have done that Gary. Get a used core and rebuild it. Guaranteed results.

Hey, I kept my crappy son of a B!tc#, I think I'll send them that one.

Couldn't bring myself to turn it in for a core price. I hung it on the wall so that every time I look at it I can remember how dumb I was to put that POS in without thinking and fought overheating troubles for 15 years!!!!

People around here are STILL talking about that sonic boom sound the day my head came unstuck from my ass!

Oh I have a used core but not the money right now. LOL All the core needs is the correct impeller and it's good to go.

My CORRECT divider plates arrived the other day from ILT.
On the package it says it's galvanized and zinc plated. Does this mean I can forgo the green primer?

Also, any update on the New Cardone part number? I'm going to try and buy one with the new number instead of testing all the local inventory of the parts stores near me. From most recent posts, it looks like the older units might be a bit pricey.

I would put them in just like that.
