I found what might be these same videos posted on YouTube. Do a search there for vp44 install. Here is the link to part 1 of one video:
And here is another link to part 1 by Diesel Dan
Both series are great videos and I hope I never have to use them. Got my AirDog and fuel pressure gauge installed this weekend and I'm pushing 17 psi so if the VP44 was OK (no codes to indicate otherwise), I should have one less worry. Mind you, I did this before on my 1999 but had to do it again on the 2001 I am now driving thanks to a kid texting and driving who pulled out in front of me as I was driving down the highway at 65 MPH with a loaded trailer. My 1999 ended up totalled out but we walked away without a scratch. I was so impressed with the structural integrity of the Ram that I got another one like it instead of a newer version. Plus I like the fuel mileage that 5.9 diesel delivers.
