I guess I am a trator
Well I guess I am a trator!My wife and I decided that we had to do something. Our vehicles were starting to cost to much to keep up.So we went down and traded our two vehicles in on one new one. So I no longer have a dodge truck.I ended up with a Toyota Tundra crewmax. It is a very nice truck and should serve us well into the future.It has a great guarentee and oil changes for the life of the vehicle, along with repairs for the life of it.Sorry but I won't have much to post here anymore. I hope I can leave without being shot.

Strange happenings
While driving today i hit a dip in the road, and -- i was just enjoying the outside air through the vent fan.After hitting the dip my air changed to real hot air just like i turned the heat control up.The truck blew a fuse, and the door locks quit working all at the same time.Something is not right, but have no idea what. Turned off the vent fan because the air conditioner wouldn't work either, and replaced the fuse to the door locks, now everything works.Guess I'll have to watch those dips in the road.

Hot vp44
I think I have been lied to by the people that sold me my rebuilt vp44.They said the components were solderd to the vp44, and the pictures look like it plugs in to me.I see four connections in the picture so I bet there is a plug out there that would allow someone to make a lead and plug it in the vp44 and the components in the cab then the outside air and air conditioner could cool them down on a hot day, and long pull. Ok so enough two cycle oil, and cooling of components should make them last almost forever!That's my opinion!

Hot vp44
I just dont see anyway we can defeat this problem other then removing the electric components and mounting them in the cab.I don't know if that would even be possible. Well if I had a spare vp44 I would go into it and find out.I don't think it is impossible, there are millions of vehicles with solid state equiptment located at a remote site. I would like to see some pictures of the boards to see how many leads go inside the actual pump.

I have been involved in electronics as a hobby for over 50 years.I am a Amateur Extra Class Ham Radio Operator. Now that said.I have learned one thing. Heat is the enemy of electronics. No way around it. Especially solid state stuff.I wasn't aware of how much electronics are in the vp44, and I don't know how much are in other injector pumps.Today I drove on a trip that was 35 miles one way, and came back. Ok no big trip. I drove at 52 mph, and tested fuel milage, and fuel pressure to my pump. Milage turned out to be about 25 mpg, and fuel pressure was around 12 psi. for the trip.When I came home I made a routine inspection under the hood, and I reached down and touched the plate where the electronics are located. Wow Hot HOt HOT. Now this is on a 80 degree day with easy driving. I don't even want to think how much HELL the components are going through on a hard pull up a hill on a 105 degree day.It is no wonder there are so many failures of the components..I have no answer to the problem other then maybee putting a vent from an air conditioner on it, and I don't think there would be enough air to do anything.I really feel that the designers never considered this when they put out the product.I am sorry but all the two cycle oil in the world won't cool our components. Lube the pump! Yes. Make it last longer Yes!Anyway that is my rant against the manufacturer today. Other opinions on this matter might help get rid of dissapointment of the makers.:banghead:
