I've got an e7 350 all mechanical. Took my Bosch injection pump to get rebuilt and it needs plungers and barrels. No one has them as they've been obsolete for awhile. There are still so many of these pumps still in service it's hard to believe there are no options. I'm down to the point of swapping engines out of another truck I have so I can get back to work. What is everyone doing when your pump finally gives up?

You are not looking in the right places. I had a few pumps in a Bosch shop several years ago. P3000 & P7100's to have governor and flow calibrations. There were on the shelf for years and wanted them set for a project engine. Fact is there was One Guy in the whole shop that could work on them and limited at that. No Spec's on any of them being all mechanical. I had to tell him the settings I wanted. Of course "Well that seems off" Well then tell me were the settings should be, OK I'll set them to your numbers. Said don't worry about it took the pumps and sent them to Fair Valley Performance in Wisconsin, 608-643-0200. They do AG, Pulling, Truck injection. P3000 & P7100 pumps are their specialty. For stock to full-on smokers. They had everything to rebuild these pumps and more. Send your pump there, almost sure it will come back with new plungers, if bad at a reasonable price and work ready.

I'm kinda curious. What was the reason for having 

This truck has a well service unit built on it, so it spends most its time revving up and down all day everyday. Engine has 35,000 hours and doesn't use any oil between changes. This pump was obviously a mack reman and not original. Over months it has slowly been getting worse about dieing when you let the throttle off. Then hard restart. Once it ran 4 hours there was no keeping it going the rest of the day. It would also idle up, not sound right, inconsistent speed, etc. I replaced all fuel lines, transfer pump, overflow valve and put a clear line with gauge between outlet on transfer pump and inlet on last filter. No air and 38 psi or higher at all times yet die and hard start.i set timing which was 1 degree off on truck and pulled injection pump. The shop I took it to tells me it's got out of spec sticky wore out plungers and barrels. I've wasted a week being down while they tell me they are looking for parts but unable to find. I'm a diy kind of person and I work on lots of my own large equipment this is the first time in 13 years that I've had a problem with this truck and my first time pulling the pump on a mack. Tomorrow I will get the tag from the pump shop and call some of the places suggested. If I find someone who can fix it I'll go pick it up and ship it. This truck is my only income, it's been a tough 4 years. I need to get back to work and if I have to I have an electronic mack I can swap motors to get it done but would much rather just fix my injection pump. I appreciate the help and any suggestions on places to call. Thanks

It really sounds more like a problem in the governor and not something in the pump. The plungers and barrels might be worn, but I don't think that was what was causing your problem.
