Well technically Mel was the middle man LOL

But this is awesome. I can only imagine what turn-around will be on this. I hope you have plenty of business and tons of good luck.

I believe Mel was a so called middle man. I think him an joe I believe have designed the pump an they built it cause Mel didnt have the mechaine it's over 30 grand. Anyways don't really know but I'm sure he had his hand in it. Also I would think its not just gonna be international Idi moose products I would think he would run out of bis. Now wheres the line up on cummins moose stuff!!!!!!????? Lol I'm sure he will be offering an fixing more than just our idi's at least I hope so. Pretty sure our community is big but not big enough to quiet a job an only do what we know as moose stuff. Anyways I hope you are doing cummins I need to swap injectors in my step dads 24 valve ASAP. All wait to here before I have it done local!!!!

I don't think this has been said yet but this will be a full service rebuilder, All makes and models, pumps , injectors and turbos. and I believe a shop for doing repairs on Diesel Trucks as well.


Congrats Mel, Lori and I are very excited for you and Suzie, The shop looks great, and we wish you great success on your endeavor!

This is fantastic news! As someone who sits in front of a computer most of the day for an occupation, I know how nice it is to build/work on something tangible. I hope your new endeavor is successful and rewarding - I'm excited to send some business your way!

and... Happy Retirement!

Congrats on this new chapter in your life. I'm sure a pump and injectors will be on my short list.
