Replacing the VP44 Injection Pump

Posted

My injection pump went out last week on my 2000 5.9L Dodge. It had been running just fine, about 20mpg.I got an error code of P1688. So I went to the vendor list here and ordered one from Diesel Auto Power.So far everything has worked out with replacing the pump. Except when I pulled the old pump out the keyway stayed in the gear instead of coming out with the pump. :( I was able to grab the keyway with a pair of vise grip's and pull it out. :pray:I think I didn't move the gear but if it has been moved do I have to remove the cover and check for TDC on the gears? I hate working out in the snow, ice and wind.Is there anyway to tell if the timing has moved without removing the cover on the front of the engine?Thanks Jim

I was gone (from here) a couples. Anyway the help is great and everything seems to be solved. I erased the old code and don't have any new ones. The truck runs great.I do drop in and read stuff at least a couple times a week. I just don't have a lot to say. It's better to read a learn. Thanks again.
