Are dying FASS pumps a thing of the past?

06powerstroke · Jun 30, 2011

I was just thinking about all of the threads complaining about the FASS motors constantly dying and realized I hadn't seen one in quite some time. I bought a 150/180 right at the start of all that and it made it a whole 3 months before the motor quit. However, my replacement has been going strong for almost 2 years. I still carry a spare motor around because I don't want to get stuck again, but has anyone seen a pump failure lately?

I have not heard of any lately. looks like it was a ball bearing or something that tore them up. When I googled it a couplke months ago I couldn't find anything recent.
