Everyone better look at my article about Certified Bosch Rebuilders. If the VP44 is serviced by a non-Bosch service center you take the risk of getting a remanufactured pump with old PSG unit, not bench tested and pay an outrageous price for poorly serviced VP44. This is why I created this article because there are hundreds of "VP44 rebuilders" out there but don't even have the Bosch 815 test stand to test or calibrate the PSG on the VP44. Some big names even sell USED PSG VP44's at a marked up price. Hint... DAP sells both Midwest Injection and Industrial Injection pumps. Vulcan Performance sells Induestrial injection pumps. If they are not listed they do not have the Bosch 815 test stand.

Droplet is right. Dampner will slip in rotation and later show up as a wobble.

Lucky... Let's see if you pass me at the 243k mark for my last pump. 364k on the clock.

Rv275s will not be popped or flow match it will ruin the Bosch warranty. You can only pop and flow match custom build injectors like what DAP sells. Bosch stock and RV275 are as is. No pop or flow match.

How many miles on the injectors? Any longer starts? White smoke at startup?

Even better yet.

Don't feel bad Idaho seem to be like EU a lot of times. Most of this stuff is tough to find. Glad you found something.

The funny part is looking at the racing tires. Smooth wheels, no spokes or holes. Then racing slicks are smooth and no tread design per se. From that standpoint are the absolutely most efficient tire and wheel setup.

No. DRBIII tool only. You have to flash the values into the ABS module. @Chris O. tool would do it.

Yes. But not worth wasting expensive oil on battery terminals.

Pop pressure?

Time to hit a dealer and have the ABS module flashed with the proper ratio of gears. ABS module isn't seeing speed properly causing this issue. There are two settings on the ABS module for the number of gear teeth and then tire rev per mile.

While all you have to do all this mod, I'm still using my factory cables and they look factory fresh yet. Might be another 25 years before I replace my battery cables.

Need error codes. It's possibly a bad ECM too. The limit to 1,300 RPM is called "Limited Pedal". The white smoke and studdering is a sign of the P0216 code so it could go either way possible. Get the error codes.

Since top gear is basically the same for all transmissions. 66 MPH - 3.55 gears - 2,000 RPM - 245/75 R16 80 MPH - 3.55 gears - 2,400 RPM - 245/75 R16

I went step farther and made a paper clip jumper. Plugged it in the sensor plug and ohmed the circuit from the ABS module. Should be less than 1 ohm.

Not allowed to drive to the appointment. I can't eat or drink 8 hours before. To me that spells OR time to me. Ugh.

Sad but true I'm scheduled to go back in on Friday. They want to make sure of my right kidney is draining properly. It sucks but more OR time from what I understand.

Make sure to calculate the voltage drop and refigure proper cable size. Being the batteries are farther away from the starter and the PDC this means large cables got to used.

Sorry to take the wind out of your sails. I'm just quick to use the tools at hand. Google is powerful tool.

Last picture is one thought of the spring bend. Mine is bent in an L shape to the center. The tip is bent downward slightly to cradle the check ball but prevents the check ball from wedging down in the coils. Just did a Google Search. https://www.google.com/search?q=mopar1973man+airdog+shim&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjOj4v56dzfAhVJ0oMKHSNHANoQ_AUIDygC&biw=1668&bih=885

I stand corrected.

A problem... if you lean over dielectric grease you get on you and your clothing. Engine oil leaves only a very thin oily film that will not get on your hands or clothing. Just like any battery terminal sprays the same problem too. Another thought to add to this is that with grease it will collect dust and dirt quite a bit. This could turn into a conductor for power if damped with water or humidity. The dirt and dust could be a problem. This one thing nice about oil it doesn't collect the dirt as bad. You can oil the terminal week later rinse it all off with a garden hose and the oil film will continue to protect the terminals.

Not good. Does nothing for oxidation of the lead nor preventing corrosion. Q: What are the only two materials that sulphuric acid will not EAT? A: Glass and Plastic. Q: What is plastic made from? A: Oil. Just coat the terminals with engine oil they will NEVER corrode.

The return line fitting on the pump. Remove the fitting and behind it should be a spring and check ball. Now there are a few things to do. The spring needs to be bent in a manner that the tail of the spring is bent in an L shape and just bent down into the coil just enough the check ball can't push into the coil and the ball wants to stay centered in the spring. Now that is done, measure the ID opening size of the fitting and the ID of the pump body. Now purchase a few washers that are close to both measurements. The fitting hole you do not want to obstruct that return flow. The washer has to have an overall OD size that is not going to bind up inside the pump body either. Another members idea.
