if i could afford to ship it to a real quality dodge mechanic i would at this point ive done my best with the pile of parts i started with; i got it running finally, just still think its not all right if anyone understands what im saying. thanks again everyone for the help though, it is appreciated!

thank yall again for your help, it seriously appreciated!

Thanks guys for the info, its sad to say but i was screwed by a guy claiming to know what he was doing, after 6 months finally got my truck back in literal pieces. ive just been trying to put the puzzle back together for the past three months not really knowing what has actually been done or not done. the only thing i really know is what ive stated, so thank u all for ur patience and help!

shifting problems are present, hesitation, no pedal in overdrive, etc. anythoughts guys? i appreciate it greatly

had to go out of town for a couple weeks. took truck to dealer and had the ctm flashed to the trucks computer. It cranked right over afterwards but immediatly threw the p0216 and i have no idea why. Could have the numerous attempts to start the truck have damaged the new vp44 or is it possible it was thrown by the dealers scan tool?

after much time it has been narrowed down to anti theft

thank you much sir for the help it is appreciated greatly. --- Update to the previous post... so the hot wire wont hurt anything that ive already replaced?

ill try anything at this point, how can i hot wire the vp so i wont hurt anything else?

i personalyhave not tried hot wiring the vp but my "ex" mechanic stated he had tried with no sucess. I had none of the issues until i hired someone that didnt know what they were doing apparently to replace my lift pump and injection pump, ive trying to fix someone elses work since.

i agree JLandry, it can pass through without it working. but my vp has been recently replaced and is powering up and shooting alot of fuel at the high pressure side which is whats not adding up

thanks, id appreciate all the help i can get at this point.

yes vp has power, ive double checked just about everything. Im still leaning to the anti theft somehow disrupting things.

all but the number 2 hard line had alot of fuel present, it just had a tiny amount if any while cranking.

yes fuel pumps through but cant get it to run.

Yes im cranking the motor, thats what got me so confused.
