Well i think my VP just bit the dust, truck was running just fine i left it running went in a store came out 10 mins later truck wasn't running, It cranked right up idled fine but when i gave it throttle it was not having it exhaust was gurggly and sputtered alot, so i limped it home about 10 miles going maybe 20-30MPH it would clear for maybe 3-5 secs at a time then cut back out.

I got codes

P1693, P1689, P1688,P0252,P0251,P0232 which = VP44 bad.

I checked my fuel filter housing and it was full of fuel and it is still getting plenty of fuel so the Lift pump is good as far as i can tell, is it possible for it still work and the VP be crap? I also cracked the 1st and 3rd injector from the front and cranked the truck i got fuel but not much it sprayed ok but was foamyish. I checked the plugs on my ECM all tight and clean also checked all wires/plugs on the VP and Lift pump. I don't have a FP gauge installed truck is all stock still has the Void sticker on the VP With 285,XXX Miles

Sorry about the long post, I have the money to go get a new VP and lift pump but i'd prefer not to if not needed i hate wasting $$$, I am capable of doing the work myself id just like to have some experienced help, So if there is any one near by who is experienced with taking the VPs off and such or has a fuel pressure gauge and wouldnt mind giving me a hand id greatly appreciate it, I'd help with fuel/Beer your pick haha

Thanks in advance

Well went to pick up the truck after the AD150 install and the VP decided to rear it's ugly self and pooped out so i had to drop some $$ on a new VP will be here in the AM hoping to have it on the road again tomorrow

Well i got my truck back today, Seems to be running great, I can tell the Turbo is spooling up quicker hence the better Fuel flow lol, I still gotta install the FP Gauge... the shop couldn't do it. It's been a rocky week to say the least Dropped $2K and added another Business to my BLACKLIST!

installing VP's are a blast!!!

installing VP's are a blast!!!

Is it really easy????????? I'm sorta chicken, but, love the sense of accomplishment when done. What special tools do I need.... I have the new rebuilt sitting on the bench right now from midwest fuel injection.

The only special tool you need is a puller for the gear. After you take the nut off the pump shaft turn the engine over until the slot for the key in the pump shady is pointing up before you pull the gear loose. Also need a torque wrench for the shaft nut when you reinstall it. They really aren't bad if you are mechanically inclined. I've got it down to about 2 hours from start to finish, that is after changing 11 of then thoughSent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2

If i would have had the tools and time to do it i would have done it myself, but i have no free time right now, i don't mind working on my own stuff. i especially hate paying someone else $$ to do it :banghead:

and the nut torques to 125 ft.lbs:thumbup2:

I have been watching the videos on this. Seems real easy if you remember a few simple steps.I'm more worried about the long trip down to Yosemite on the old VP, but, the 216 code refuses to come back and the truck runs great.

Well after all that i Sold the Truck Today ... Have to go a more economic route for the time being
