I tapped my new VP today with a BD stealth cover and it is just how i remembered it being. So is the count down on or do you guys think i should be good for a while i hope. It just makes me mad that it seems everyone else can run there duramax and powerstrokes fueled up and i can't due to this piece of **** VP. o well i hope it lasts a while it is a MWFI rebuild so they make a quality products.

 

Give your VP the benefit of the doubt.

Let us know how it goes.

I'm tapping mine soon.

 

I've had mine tapped for going on about 6 months now and no problems yet (knock on wood). I dont drive it very hard though

 

Unfortunately i drive mine like i stole it. Ive had it tapped for a couple months now. I cant get that dang lead outta my boot tho..... lmao

 

Add little two cycle TC 3 oil from Wally World. About an oz per gallon should do the trick. The extra lube can only help out that new VP.

 

got my idustrial so pump on the other week...and well as of 3 days ago i just had to void the warrenty...so i hope this pump holds up as good as the factory did 155k before it died

 

yeah i run pennzoil 2 cycle oil in my truck to keep the vp alive...i mix a half a quart to half a tank which works out to be 140:1.

 

Can you explain what "tapping" the vp is for a newbie. thanks.

 

Hate to ruin some of the fun, I just removed my quad box after about a year (vp44 is one year old), b/c i was throwing some codes p0251 and p0252, which are directly related to the vp44 circuit, or wire tap. I removed it and the code still pops up. I am going to solder my original tap back in this weekend, will keep you updated.

 

Danimal:

The Dodge Cummins trucks from late 1998 to 2002 have a VP44 injection pump on them, and every power enhancer that adds more than 70hp or so must manipulate this pump directly to do so.

So when we say "tapping the wire" we are referring to the power module connecting directly to the Injection Pump bypass solenoid control wire that governs how much fuel is injected and when.

You'll also hear "timing box and "fueling box" used to distinguish between the milder power enhancers that don't connect to this wire and the stronger power enhancers that do.

"Timing boxes": Edge EZ, Quadzilla XZT+, Van Aaken, Diablosport Powerpuck, etc.

"Fueling boxes": TST powermax, Edge Comp, Blue Chip FMS, etc etc.

Clear as mud? You can always PM me if you have any questions...

HOHM - thanks for the explanation. Trying to put all the pieces together so I don't get victimized by the dealer anymore...

 

No need to solder it, vp44 died, oh well, here we go again

 

WELL IT BROKE TODAY!!!! THAT DID NOT TAKE VERY LONG!!! Anyone seen how to fill the little hole the stealth cover leaves...trying to get the pump warrantied.

 

not very good quality product, eh?

 

You are not kidding, it quit already?????????

How hard were you driving it????????
