Great site, glad I found it. My name is Bob Donnelly, I have a Freightliner FL50 with a Cummins ISB and, Fuller Eaton 6 speed. At 117K I replaced my VP44 because the truck was not running the same. Chip at Blue chip diesel, determined the computer on the VP44 was bad, so I replaced it , and the power was back. At only 120K I am having the same issues. Chip said to take it in for DTC scan. I did, it has no codes, the owner of the shop, said to test the wastegate, and to replace the leaking exhaust manifold gaskets. The wastegate leaked, so it has been replaced, and the manifold has new gaskets and bolts. I installed a fuel pressure gauge in dash at the time of the VP44 replacement, because pumps have failed before, and I usually would not even know this until a filter change or a flat spot on acceleration. I am getting about 10 PSI at idle and 7-8 psi at WOT. Both of these pressures will drop when it is colder out and slowly rise as the fuel thins out. If any one has any ideas, other then I got a bum VP44 let me know.Once again, great site, and thank you Mopar1973Man for all of your effort.
