140m follow up

[20/80]

Hello everyone, I decided to give you all a update on our 140 m that we have had lots of issues with, this season after addressing most of the issues we have had with our 140m the machine worked not to bad this season with a bit of down time, we had to replace the HEUI pump again where the one Cat replaced started leaking around a oil ring which you cannot simply replace you have to buy the whole pump, not cheap!!, also a few steering problems and the articulating ram bushings are gone again, turbo gasket blew only to find the manifold gone as well, motor is holding up so far since replacing the crank a few years back when she was new also no injector problems since awhile either, thinking about injectors our sister shop is having troubles with injectors going on their new 12m 2 which just happens to have a c7 in her....hmm

Not brand warring at all. Just need more info for this thread to be informative. Thanks!!!!
