  1. I called Blue Chip today and we are going to talk about a pump with a brand new computer on Thursday. I hope this ends the problems!
  2. Cleaning the battery connections and checking all of the grounds is never a bad place to start.
  3. No codes yet with this pump. I have 19psi idling and around 16 with WOT. Problems keep persisting.
  4. Great.... guess I'll be fighting for another pump Monday
  5. From what I have read if you are going to make 600 HP you will need a different filter system and the stock banjo bolts are too restrictive
  6. Thanks! I checked for codes with my smarty... got nothing. I reset the apps this morning and got the same result. 3 cranks to get it to fire and a nice puff of white smoke
  7. I recently bought an upgraded vp44 from Blue chip diesel ($1600) because my original died. After installing the first pump the truck started right up and ran great for about 10 minutes, then I got a code saying injection pump timing failure. I talked to Chip and he sent me another right away. This second pump has been great for about a week. Now for some reason around 1,000 to 1,200 rpm when I mash the go petal it loses power, makes a horrible lugging sound then picks up and runs fine. I am also having trouble starting. Warm or cold it doesn't like to start on the first crank and sometimes it won't start on the the second. This doesn't happen every time I go to start it though.... about every 2-4 starts. I have 19psi to the pump, a new fuel filter, a new air filter, and no fuel leaks. I'm starting to think I got another bad VP. Does anyone have any suggestions or something I can try? Maybe something else went bad? Chip has been unavailable for the last 4 days. Any help would be appreciated!
