That would be for the small gas pump. This one is quite a bit larger. 7.25" tall and about 4"wide.

Where's everyone mounting them at? I would be interested in one. How much was it to ship it?
I mounted mine under the hood right behind the passenger side battery . I made a bracket out of some angle aluminum and mounted it to the inner fender.
Works out nice there, easy to clean out the screen without having to crawl under anything
plus I can easily see if there is debris in there that needs cleaning. Other nice benefit is it makes the main filters last longer.
I've had mine on there about 2 years now and the thing works great. Granted, I bought mine at the Carrrier dealer and paid about twice that much for the thing ( I was the first one to try one of these things, When my holley folded shortly after buying this truck,I went looking for something better).I Imagine the Thermoking dealers probably charge about the same, so that deal on ebay is a steal, because so far as I was able to find, these things are only available as an OEM part so far, none of the regular Facet dealers carry the things. THey can't get the part number.
For those getting the pumps, if you want to use the nifty electric plug that's attached, NAPA has the pieces for the Packard plugs, you have to buy the shell, pins, and seal rings seperately, but they are cheap, and makes for a nice easy way to shut the pump off if needed.
As for durability, it was pretty funny when I went to the Carrier Transicold dealer to get mine, the part showd that they had a bunch on the computer, but the guy got lost in the parts room for quite some time trying to find the thing. Turned out that they had never had to replace one. For a pump that runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on a large percentage of the units it's installed on ( and in factory configuration , is drawing from it's maximum designed lift at all times on about half of those, for all the reefers with belly tanks ), I figure that's a pretty good sign

We probably should start calling these what they are - the Facet Dura Lift. Might make them more availble since Carrier is not the only people using them. To bad we didn't have a chance to check Gary's timing after we installed his. That would have helped us know if the extra pressure was an issue.

Say what?!?!
Any time you want to check my timing again, let me know... I'd be more than happy to oblige!

P.S. I now have internet access again.. I got one of the USB cards like 4x4truckingirl has on her laptop. This thing would have been SWEET to have at the rally!

Mines in the engine bay as well. Total will be about $78.
Looks like a great pump, I am definitely in for one, let me know how to send funds, I can Paypal if that's easy for you.

I have run reefers with these pumps -years of trouble free service 24-7 days a week keeping meat cold.Stuck up next to an engine-yes in a box with defferent temp extreems-Raod salt sprayed over the cab going thru the louvers covering every thing with salt and mud.Mell youre right it is a new idea with a proven product.

I'd like to get a few going, so I'll put you on the list. Hopefully there are a few more that would like one. I'm waiting to see how many he can get on this go around.

I'd like one. How will the funds be transfered ?
GenLightening

Paypal is best. Once I hear back from the seller, I'll get you all the info.
Somewhere around here I have a fuel pressure regulator with a gauge on it. If I can ever find the dang thing I could easily check the timing as is and then cut the pressure back and check it and see if it makes a difference. Tricky part is finding it. Darn shop gnomes have run off with it 
Hopefully it'll turn up in the next few days.

Let me know when you are going to order. My fiance and I have a new baby so it depends on how funds, I should be able to swing it but it depends when. Either gotta buy a chainsaw soon or a few loads of firewood.

I sent another email, hopefully he can get them out quick. I'll let you know the details.
