I would advise against going with a used pump. But if you can have it tested it might be okay.
Let me just put this thought in your head...
I had a pump that I took off the back of the engine with 55k on it and put it in front for my duel fueler setup and put a new pump in back. A few thousand miles after the build was completed, my pump up front chit the bed, locked up and sent metal though my entire fuel system. Wrecked all my injectors, fuel cooler, and had to take everything apart. It costed me just under $4k and that was with me doing all the work and getting parts at a good cost. You do the math and see if using a used pump is worth it. I say it is not.
New pump= Under $1k
used pump that chit the bed= $4k

I bet that pump failed cause you reversed the rotation after it had bedded in.

Can you explain? I am getting ready to replace my front pump when I go cab up, just for piece of mind, but a lot of people have done the valley pump to the front with success.
I have been considering duals for a while and that is one of the things that is holding me back....I have seen that theory mentioned before and it does make sense. Of course, that leaves you with the only option of buying a new pump and putting it in the front and hoping your old pump in the valley won't chit to bed or buying 2 new pumps...$$$$

I'm almost at 80k miles on my fresh front pump and over 100k miles on my factory pump and so far it's still good.

With the good discounts that we get at Sunrise, it would probably just be smarter to buy a new pump. Little extra money up front is cheap insurance for the long run.
