im running 2 stroke but just started and the pump was going before i started. I am at $1250 right now for the vp44, stealth cover, and cam sensor. I am planning on installing it myself to save some money. That is a damn good price you got there NCcummins. Like woli and everyone else told me it might be a good idea to change the cam sensor as well while your there. It is around $55 list price (sorry i am buying it through my dad's garage so I dont know retail) which isn't bad at all considering the cost of everything else. Does your truck lose throttle response while you are driving it?

You probably won't need these vids but they are interesting to watch on how to change a VP44.

 

i run lucas almost every tank...not sure what is causing it but if this one goes out i will be selling the truck stock at an auction and getting a SRT 4 for fuel mileage that is for sure!

 

i paid 1050$ for mine and stick whit SOVP44, hrvp44 isnt responding well to boxes by what i have read...i havent tryed it tough

 

I just got the stock VP44 and staying with that..sounds alright to me..

 

So if I have a p0216 code on my 02 4x4 it means I need a new vp44

 

possibly.

what is your fuel pressure going to the vp44 like?

I bet its too low....

starving the vp44 of fuel pressure is the number 1 killer of vp44s. having a fuel pressure gauge and a quality lift pump is a MUST on vp44 trucks..
