But I can't seem to find those pictures/that post. I have a 2013 2250 and I am very concerned about this issue. I don't like the fact that there may be a grenade bolted to the side of my engine with the pin half way out. Anyone have those pictures or if I post a picture of it, could you tell me if I'm in the clear or not?

Caveat: I don't know my @$$ from a hole in the ground on this subject, but I was under the impression that;

-All three cylinder XPI injection pumps contained ceramic plungers
-Some two cylinder pumps, but not all, also contained ceramic plungers
-That the 2350 did not have any pumps produced with ceramic plungers
this ^^^ is WRONG!!! early 2350's DID have two cylinder pumps with ceramic plungers!!!
-The only sure way to know was to actually remove the pump head and personally inspect it.

I don't own a 2250, but if I did, I would remove, disassemble, and inspect. I wouldn't take anybody's word for it, present company gurus exempt of course.
The potential risk of failure, and the resulting damages from said failures, is just too high compared to the cost of some time and gaskets.
