Since I kept seeing a on/off P0216 that would come and go, I came across a great deal on a new VP-44 rebuild. Do I have to have my codes cleared or will they clear up on their own? If I dont clear the codes, will my truck not operate as normal??BYW, there is an excellent Youtube guide on how to remove and install a VP-44 pump.:hyper:

If the problem is truely fixed the codes with self erase in 40 warm up cycles. So if you drive the truck for about a month it should be gone. Warm up cycle is defined as going from cold engine below 140*F to over 160*F worth of coolant temperature and then continue to run without setting the codes again. So like I said if the problem is truely fixed it will clear on its own.

Did your truck have any running problems with the 0216 code? I ask cause I cleared mine, trucks running good and the code has not come back.I have a vp on the bench but, my trucks running so good, I'm thinking about waiting. :think:

It not my truck with the P0216 code but a gent here locally and the P0216 code is presistant you can clear it drive it a few miles and it right back again. As ofr performance there isn't much for loss but you notice a loss in MPG's a slight loss in power but it will contniue to run.

Slow death perhaps. Then does 'Doctor Nelson' prescribe heavier doses of 2 cycle on this one? :lmao:

:lmao::lmao2: Oh Gawd!!! Actually I did... I told him to make the oil just a weebit heavier and hoping it hold together for his trip to Boise and back.
