Just ordered my VP through Jacob at DAP. 2 gigantic thumbs up for that guy. spend bout half hr on the phone with him. Be definitely ordering parts from him again in the future.

Awesome thanks! a 2 bolt puller like a pitman arm puller or is that to big?

mhmm, maybe ill attempt it myself then. i thought it was more complex/time consuming than that. the 75hp injectors and the mild upgrade of the 35/40 plus the comp i find is quite fine. i love the exhaust brake. best thing ever. It just sucks its a turbo mount and not an inline or id definitely have a slightly bigger turbo or a mild set of comounds in a heartbeat.

Haha sorry i kinda wrote that not how i was thinking it. Labor is less than i thought. Jesus, if you were closer to me i'd trailer the truck down to you, even with the stupid exchange rate. shop labor up here ranges from 95 to 130/hr. Another SO pump should be fine then eh. I don't plan on going crazy with HP. I'd be happy with high 300's low 400's whp and be fairly towable. Truck mostly hauls around 8-13k lbs car trailer/camper trailer every weekend in the summer through the mountains.

I just called my dad to go run out to the truck and double check for me, the WTS light was not delayed, it came on and stayed on until the heaters shut off, then he said the truck started like normal with no hesitation and idled fine with no surging or anything, also said the CEL did not come on and no codes were stored. The boost fooler for the edge makes sense. Kinda wondered why i was tripping that code randomly. What would i do about that, give edge a call and send it in or have to buy a new unit? mhmm. What do you suggest then about the VP code, Pucker up the 2K for a VP/labor and attempt to find a VP that doesnt void warranty with a wire tap? Is there anything else like the crank sensor or vacuum pump that i should rebuild/replace with the VP? I'd really hate to go down on a trip to the states or across canada or up north to work and the VP craps the bed and leaves me stranded in the middle of nowhere on the highway. a couple grand now is alot cheaper than a $800 tow plus now the VP and labor. I'd really love to do it myself and save the cost of the labor but space and time is limited and would be easier to drop it off at a shop and have it fixed while i am away at work.

Good evening guys! I went to go start my truck this morning it was about -4*C and it just cranked and cranked and cranked. Plugged in a code reader and got the code P0253 and the tpyical overboost code from the edge comp. Once the codes cleared, i turned the key back off, waited a couple few minutes, then attempted to start the truck again, started right away like nothing happened. let it idle for a couple minutes then hit the exhaust brake and let it idle for about 10 minutes, then shut it off and carried on my day driving my other truck as i had to be at the airport to leave for work. Side note, it would have very seldomly like once a month if that for the past 3 or 4 months of random 5 second crank times when cold before it would start when it normally would fire within the first crank or two. Now a little back ground on the truck. It has just shy of 426000km on it, i do not know the last time or if the vp has ever been replaced. Has what i was told were 75hp DDP injectors, edge comp w/wire tap, Fass 150, Hx35/40. It has had these for the last 125000km that i have owned the truck, and the wire taped edge comp and the fass 150 even longer, id do a rough guess of at least an extra 80000 to 100000km ontop of the 125000 i have put on it. And from what i have searched so far and continue to search, but i have found either useless threads, or mixed opinions/facts that contradict other threads that i have read and that have more than one code pertaining to the VP. I guess what i am asking is, has my VP finally crapped the bed, or very early signs of it going on its way out? Thanks in advance for any opinions/advice. Edit: Fuel pressure is a steady 15 to16 psi idle/light cruise, with the comp off, it is 13-14 WOT and with the comp on it ranges from 11 to 13 psi WOT depending on what setting it is on. It has never bucked or surged with it either on or off. I also run about 1oz/gal 2 stroke/diesel mix for the last 23000km steady and before that it was every other tank because i would forget to add and be already down 1/3 tank by time i remembered haha.

Do you have a twin or single disc clutch? I got the same issues. But I got a twin disc. Have had the same problem ever since the tranny was rebuilt/twin disc was put in. I find going 4th then to reverse and 2nd then to 1st while stopped it slips right in. My third while driving can sometimes be weird to shift into though. I've just lived with it and was told it's just the nature of the twin disc.

Yeah I'm runnin 2 stroke. Bout a qt 2stroke to every fill up of 100 L of diesel. Grids are cycling on and off. Zero codes. All I have to compare it too is my Dads 07 and that thing doesn't smoke at all. But it's bone stock. I have just a "restrictor" fitting on the hose from the vp to the pressure sensor. It used to be fine, and now it starts bouncing around randomly.

Hey fellas, I'm just wondering if this is normal or if I have a sticky injector or something. It only smokes on cold starts when it is not plugged in. It goes away after a couple minutes once it warms up a it. When it's plugged in it just does its normal puff of black then no smoke and it does the same when it's a hot start or when it's above zero outside. I've also noticed that the fuel line on number 6 where it goes into the head looks damp with fuel. The fitting is tight which leads me to believe the connector tube o-ring is going/gone and if that could be the cause of the smoke. The smoke does not smell like oil, more like burn your eyes rich fuel. Also my fuel pressure gauge will bounce around when crusing/idle but when I'm WOT it'll hold a steady 14-15 psi then it'll go back to bouncing around. My guess is there's getting air in the system and think it might be that connector tube o ring. Truck is a 98.5 24 valve, 75 hp DDP injectors ( might be 100's but pretty sure they 75's. Can't remember haha) S.O. vp44, Fass 150, hx40. It also has just shy of 423000km with zero blow by, doing the oil cap flip that is if that makes any difference. here is a video. Was a -18°C cold start not plugged in showing the smoke I'm talking about. Thanks in advance for any input!
