So just put. Danville pinned water pump in the truck be made one or two passes on tune three and then this happened!? Now the pin is somewhere in the motor. Has anyone else had this happen?
Busted Danville pinned pump

That thing is a really funky color..... You say it hasn't been installed long?
I've installed several Danville pumps and not a single issue to date.
The pin is in your oil pan now. I highly doubt it will ever even make it through the oil pickup tune screen.

Nope. I installed it maybe last month and ran the truck two times down the highway and that is it. Oil pan? Should be somewhere in the cooling system.
He might have thought it was the gear side on accident. I've had my share of brain farts. Lol
Your right, I didn't even think about it being on the water side. Probably got stuck in the oil cooler in that case.

I'll bet his Iphone predictive spelling messed up. Either that or the Russians hacked what he posted. It's happened to me too.......
It's just my luck. Only thing is I called Danville yesterday and they told me warranty is only 6 months for a $190 water pump. If that's the case I would probably be better off getting a oreillys pump for $50 with lifetime warranty and just pin it myself. (I can return a pinned pump if it's worn or broke to oreillys, have connections up there.)
I'm guessing you have a lbz since your sig says your cracked a piston awhile back? If so what was wrong with your factory water pump which made you install this Danville pump?

No lly. Busted a welded one on the gear side and didn't want to go through that again replacing cam gear, since it wore the teeth out on it while sitting inside motor.
I installed one on a customers truck last year while doing head gaskets. It failed a week later and mark covered it with no issues. Stuff happens.
I know he will take care of me, it's just the 6 month warranty that concerns me. Only frustrating part is races are in a week! Lol
