Good diesel mechanic in the Chiefland, Florida area.

Have an issue with my 03 Cummins, seems like the hydro boost pump is bad. Local Dodge dealer can't get to it for awhile. The problem is my campsite reservations end on Friday here at Manatee Springs, extending stay or getting another cg is impossible.

If anyone has any recommendations let me know.

Thanks

  • A bit of advice, if you need a new pump, and planing keeping the truck for a while, don’t bother with a reman of the original pump. In my experience there’s about a 33% chance it will last more than 10000 miles. Suck it up and get a new (not reman) updated pump.
    3 remans in my 07 in under 30k. 1 new one for the last 70k and counting.
  • OP back....

    Camp Rangers suggested Val's Automotive here in Chiefland. That's where they send their trucks and personal vehicles.

    Will let you know how it works out.
