I spent $400 on a 'rebuilt' injector pump and got a paperweight instead
Picked up a supposedly rebuilt injector pump for my 7.3 Powerstroke off a guy on Craigslist in Des Moines, looked clean in the photos but when I bolted it on it leaked like a sieve from every seal. Turned out the thing was just painted with no actual rebuild work done, cost me a full Saturday of tearing it back off and waiting for a real one from the shop. Anyone else get burned by a fancy looking part that turned out to be junk?

That paint job probably cost more than the seals they skipped replacing.

Right, because nothing says "we care about the environment" like a fresh coat of paint over a slowly leaking disaster (and a few thousand extra dollars spent on the paint, naturally).
