Service life of VP44
It's the older 33585, if there is a better one I'll get it.The replacement that failed in a year failed a component on the electronics board, I think it was an 0570? it meant tht the rpm sensor in the IP didn't agree with the crank sensor rpm. I'd swap it for a VE pump if it would bolt up.Ops

Service life of VP44
Since i didn't do a sig net, here's my fuel system:Holley Black on the frame rail, stock lines and filter, ISSPRO pressure guage with snubber, 15 psi idle, 11PSI at WOT at 3k rpm. I use two stroke oil at 1 oz per gallon, 50/50 mix of 2 stroke and PS in the winter.I ten to baby this truck, so it's not like I run the hell out of it. Ops

A few more mods..
Finally got the cash to upgrade the front bumper and headlights. Ended up with a Boss Hog and Anzo clear lens replacements. Not bad for an old man's truck.. Ops UPdate 8/7 - Whacked a 150 lb doe with it this evening at about 35 MPH. Only mark on it was a couple of deer hairs.. Ops

The old truck needs tires again
I'm running hankook ATM's as a summer tire, which should tell you something. they are siped all to Hades and back and work VERY well in rain and ice. they are about useless in mud and snow. they do seem to wear fairly well, minimal cupping, etc. I did notice that the seem to squirm around more when towing my 5000 lb travel trailer than my other tires.I found a set of Cooper St's almost new on Craigslist and bought them for my winter/mud season tires and they seem to work quite well. the only downside is that they are only load range D so I'm not real optimistic about tread wear. Time will tell.Ops

Wheels from Summit racing with Dodge hub covers, 305/70 Hankook ATMs. Mud tire tread just about evaporates in the summer time here.
