Scumbag Shop
Sorry I should have made it a little more clear. The call I am waiting on is the shop that can fix my truck, the shop that broke the line has no clue as to fix truck the truck, and have not heared a think from them. They will call when the credit card is canceled.Credit card cancel is weird first it goes in there acc. then it is taken out and a notice is sent. I like it though it makes them feel like they got away with breaking your part, then the fun starts with making both sides happy and one is usually not happy.

How Much Have You Been Changed to VP
They charged 315.00 plus tax 327.00 = 78.75 Everyone here knows it only takes about 2.50 if you know what your doing. My son and I did the last one in 2.50, he did all the under the hood stuff and I did all the heavy work outside like hold the light for him and stuff like that.lol The reason I didnt fix it my self is I have a herniated 4th lumbar. I probably could have done it my self, but I have a ton of work to get out. And really dont wont to be on the couch for another 3 months. lolJust found out today my mother took her car down there several times. I ask why and she said I didnt wont to bother you. I told her for Gods sake bother me next time.

Just got out of dealer had reflashed and no help, still surging. Girl that works there got me over to the side ( thought she was hitting on me lmao) she said guy down the road was the best diesel machinc in country. Turns out she is his girl friend and sending the hard to fix jobs his way. He swaers up and down it is the airdog, pressure and no voleum. I dont know what is to hot for the vp but just came back about 30 mile and I put my hand on it and could hold it there for a long time 30 sec.

How to cool a vp44
The pump before this died 100 times in 20 mile. The one on there now surges and lopes at idle. Have you heard my truck? Michael has it on the TDG site. I just dont know how it can go from one to the other. The only other thing is the ECM and I swaped it with another ecm and no change. All grounds are good, been over them three times. I even swaped turbo with my sons truck. Has new cam sensor, new inj., new inj. cross over tubes. Sent video to B D and they sent pump.

How to cool a vp44
Has anybody come up with a way to direct air at vp. When the fan is turning it pulls all the forced air to the right side of eng. I am thinking about some way to direct it on the pump. What yall think, waisting my time or what?I got it, cut a hole in your hood and put a vp scoop on it. I know most of yall are laughing but if you been through as many vps as some of us it is starting to sound pretty good.

24 valve cutting out, need help
Sounds real simuliar to the pump before last on my truck . It died 100 times in 20 mile, just a split second then it ran fine.

Injectors
When you can spin the tires on a dully that weighs just shy of 10k, thats all you need.

Injectors
If you like to keep fuel milage RV275's work great. I had a set of 75hp coaltrain inj. and if I keep my foot out of it they got good mileage. This was on the mod. list I have below. Man I dont know about anything 100hp of more, all I can say is wow a lot of hp going on there. If it where me something would break for sure.

running without intercooler boots
The fan blows so hard I would be afraid of dirt. Maybe wet the ground real good so no dirt will get air born.

Finally figured out why my truck is lacking power
Now take a pair of tin snips and cut the fender out a little, or a hammer. It happens to almost all of them.

Surging VP 44
I have another video I took with my camera but it is too big to send in an e-mail or upload to you tube. How do I resize a video? The only software I have on my computer is Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker. The video is 147mb. It is only a minute and half long. I installed drop.io from yahoo e-mail. It is supposed to let you send large files by e-mail. It has been uploading for about 2 hours now. Any suggestions would be appreciated

It's a 5 speed so, I have another video I took with my camera but it is too big to send in an e-mail or upload to you tube. How do I resize a video?

It is supposed to let you send large files by e-mail. It has been uploading for about 2 hours now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. ---------- Post added at 03:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ---------- The vp before this one ran great for 4months then it started dieing when eng. got up to normal. They sent this one and it surged right from the start, I didnt sat anything until they made good on warrenty. But this one gets worse as the temp gets hoter also.

Surging VP 44

Another vp44?
My second one lasted just long enough no warranty. Third one lasted 5 months started dieing, died 100 or more times in 15 miles, got to be a record. We are on #4 and from day one it has surged with no change, oh it's changing, for the worst. It took them two weeks to notify me to say they would warranty it. Thats when I told them the replacement they sent is surging from day one. They seemed to not like me waiting so long to tell them, like I was going to tell them it was junk while they have not made a decision on weather they would warranty the one I just sent in. I belive it is a scam, they cant have more than 125.00 in a rebuild. If the part passes inspection slap it in there. Pressure on each injector, who cares just so long it will run.

So, My vp44 died. Now what..
Yea check this out, B-D wonts me to send them a video with sound so they can hear what it is doing. lmao So they will get one, man this thing lopes like sled puller when you pull foward clutch it pull foward again and lope lope lope, its a joke man. The lobes got to be trash. Push in the clutch and lope, lope. At idle you can hear it, the longer you let it idle the more you hear it. Push in on the clutch and let out quick it almost sounds like it will die. The first pump I had put on cost me 1500.00 after that I learned how to do it my self, good thing because two more later saved me a loot. The first pump lasted till the warrenty went out. 1100.00 for the second one and tons of new parts in between. So if I was guessing I would say easy 3k, throw another 6 hundred at it and you got a p pumped 01 YEA MAN I can see it comeing. I aint buying another one it will end up in the pasture on blocks before I buy another sucker vp44.
