I just found out today that if your VP equipped cummins truck has 90-100k miles on it that your injection pump will fail. There's a sensor on the inside of the injection pump that kills it during that mileage. I found this out from a ford owner in my finance class today.

 

You know my problems, but no IP problems until 140,000 miles. And that was with almost 2000 miles on a dead lift pump and alot of heavy towing

 

Horsecrap! Mine went 183000, and you've seen the way I drive.

 

Yeah. Yall should have seen the look on his face when I told him in front of the whole class the number of ways a VP can die. And strangely, not a one of them involved a little sensor. Gotta love ignorant people.

 

I'd love to know how a sensor INSIDE the injection pump can detect mileage

Blue, you should tell that dude to go back to special ed.

That must be the same sensor that Ford put in the engine of the early 6.0 that caused it to grenade after you made the first payment.

 

That's only if you didn't get the "90 days until the first payment is due" plan

~Rob

 

Tell him he's stupid for thinking that. Its set between 30-40,000 miles

 

We have payment enforcers at work... hehe , put them on trucks that the owner may "forget" to pay his bill , it goes in the ECM wiring, ,, and has a code programmed into it , come payment time , if he pays his bill , he gets a new code to put in, if he does not pay , he doesn't get a code , the computer allows a one week grace period , if he still hasn't paid his bill after that one week, after he shuts the truck off , it doesn't start again , until he pays his bill and gets a new code.

 

well that would just beep me off haha

 

That makes total sense, since Ford owns Cummins.

My sensor was messed up, it thought 3,500 miles was 350,000, dang floating decimal point.

Yall ought to back off the 6.0, I have heard of the going 150000 problem free.














150000 feet...

 

yeah i bet dodge is pretty ****** that bosh set the thing to go off under the 5 year 100,000mi warranty. ohh 229,000 original LP and IP.

 

Hmmm....good thing I put larger tires on mine, so it's a little behind the times in realizing how many miles are on the truck.

 

Ask your ford expert if he knows about the AML (automat molecular lock)device. This little thing is triggered by racing a CTD. If the CTD loses it is automattically set to release the molucular lock on various parts such as rods pistons cranks and turbos. At some short time later one of these will "mysteriously "fail. I know for fact these are installed in every 6.0 psd as I worked at the ps engine plant making these things and know of people that worked on the line that put the AML's in.
