^ I just talked to DD guys, they had one pump fail at a show this weekend, no idea why yet as they did the install right there.
Not sure who you are talking to, but this makes for 3 pumps reported, and one returned, which works out to less then 1 per 1000. 1 from D-Tek, 1 from Over-clock, and two (maybe) from DD.
I only personally seen one pump "dead" and I will be happy to send email to the customer, asking if he would like to talk to you and confirm the cord was damaged, as I sent the failed pump back to him along with his replacement.
We changed the circuit board design soon afterwards, to strengthen the cord mounting.
I think you and Dan already had it out, why do you keep bringing it up?
This is a productive forum, let's leave it that way please.
Yes, the MarkII should be more constant, as unlike current retail MAG, there are few "custom" parts. The only specific part on MarkII, over an newer OEM MAG model, is pump chamber / mount and that too is injected.
Again, you have a OEM company to thank for this, as the retail numbers by themselves do not justify tooling costs
