  1. I know this post is old but I wanted to warn people about blue chip diesel, I bought their premium vp44 (new computer module) $2000 and lift pump another $300. I knew they were more exspensive but wanted the best and from their website and all the info they make it seem as though they are rebuilding the pumps themselves in house. Maybe the used to when chip owned the company, I don't know?? Anyway I installed the new pumps, ran fine for 2 days. Then at work it wouldn't start, cracked the injectors got a dribble, I knew something was up with the new IP pressure on the gauge was still about 16 psi, towed it home went through diagnostics, hot-wired the pump, nothing. Doug the new owner at blue chip said send it back they will check it out. sent it back . like 2 weeks go by I hear nothing from them, I called Doug said oh I was putting off calling you with the bad news,(WTF?) anyways he tells me the pump is not covered under warranty because of contaminated fuel and the pump is rusted, I had 2 days on it about 100 miles how the hell does it get rusted in 2 days?? Flash rusted he tells me, he told me to call back the following day and he will see what he can do. I did a little research on them and the certified bosh rebuilders, etc, that night. When I called the next day he told me he could sell me the same pump for $1500 instead of $1950, gee thanks! I began questioning him, I asked him if he had an 815 test stand, he said they had one but he wasn't sure what number it was he would have to go in the back and look. I asked him if they were a bosh certified rebuilder he said Yes. I didn't call him on his BS because I didn't know for sure if he was lying even though blue chip was not on the list of certified rebuilders on this site. I just told him well I am not paying the $1500 if he's not going to warrantee it, send it back to me. BTW I found no water or contamination in the fuel and I replaced the filter when I did the pump install. I believe it's an excuse they use when they don't want to warranty a pump. So word to the wise BLUE CHIP DIESEL is a scam outfit and the new owner Doug Rooco or whatever his name is , is a lier! caught him in 2 lies in the coversation so why should I believe I have a contaminated fuel issue? I found zero evidence to support that, I don't know what I can do about it though. It's been like 2 weeks still haven't received my pump back from them, WTF??? Steer clear!!
