Wait... is Moose Diesel Mel's gig as in the Baby Moose rebuild Mel did on my original IP waaaay back in 2010?
I thought he sold the business and his family moved somewhere south?
Any rate... Mel is/was a world of knowledge, I drove to his house where he timed my Baby Moose and we took it for a test drive.

I'm going to edit my previous post (if the system will let me ) so that I'm not unfairly dinging them for the amount of time.
That's a lot more generous than a lot of people seem to be. Thank you.

Yes it was. I though the moved south and then sold the business. It was called Conestoga Diesel when Mel ran it. I think it only changed names after he finally sold it.

OR
I may be wrong, but I thought his kids were running it? Or maybe I'm thinking DFIS in Portland.
None the less, still quality work, I installed a baby moose in my MIL's truck a few years ago and it works perfectly.

So if I understand correctly, Suzi is Mel's daughter, and she now runs Conestoga diesel? Or was the business completely sold out of the family now?

I'm running a moose pump from 2010. Probably starting to have the timing plunger stick a little, and just an occasional hint of hesitation on hot-start situations. But the truck still starts up and pulls well. I have two other spare pumps on the shelf that I found locally and had a shop test them for me. One appears to be stock and the other is a high output. I'm well into the hoarding phase of IDI ownership.

I'm still confused... but I'm old.
I remember Mel's Conestoga Diesel.
But then I 'believe' he sold the business to someone else and he and his family moved out of state.
Then... I 'believe' he was maybe doing IP rebuilds from down south... and he stopped completely?

Suzi reached out yesterday and apologized for the extended time for my core deposit to be refunded. The refund hit my account overnight.
Can you verify the corporate holdings ?
Aka who owns it?
