I have the direct connection with Python too, My turnaround time has been about 1 week from Python.

Anyone that needs any of their parts rebuilt let me know.

On the Fuel Pumps though, A Rebuilt one for, $99.00 verses $160.00 For a NEW Bosch one? I'd go with the new more than likely.

Hi Kyle,

As a vendor of this stuff Kyle, I'm curious what the relative profit margins are on this remanufactured vs the new parts. Some places really push the Reman parts, other places throw the stigma on them. I've suspected that the profit margin is often higher on the Reman stuff if the parts house has a good direct supplier deal. There at times seems to be little rhyme or reason to how various categories of parts are prices. Any insight you'd care to share with us hapless consumers?

Also, since you have the Python connection, it here an 800 number people on the list could call to get the name of a truly local parts house in their respective areas? I was not able to squeeze this info out of my local guy. It would save alot of extra postage on shipping the cores back and forth.

I am generally impressed with the quality of their stuff. How would you rate their various products for reliability? Of the parts you've sold what kind of stuff have you had 'bring backs' on? Are these fuel pumps prone to early failure?

Thanks for your comments ahead of time,

Carl
