Check this link out Lots of reading! http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-powertrain/521364-awesome-information-nv4500-lube.html

Possibly a bad 1st-2nd shift solenoid? or bands need adjusted. just a few ideas but i'm no Tran expert i'm sure some one else will chime in here who knows more.

HAHA i just moved it out of my DW to the street, the GF didn't like it taking up space... I defiantly don't wanna pay for a new VP if i dont have to, at least limp this one a lil further I saw on a video from Throughbred diesel and it showed them drilling the pump holder in the fuel tank out and removing the pump if said truck has one. which mine shouldn't mine is block mounted. This is what you're referring to as the "Basket" correct? if so I'm planning on doing the drilling holes in it and running it all inside on a side note i have a guy wanting to trade his 12 valve almost identical to mine....

Well i just bought an Old school AD150 with the JIC fittings NEW off a member on CF will be here by thurs, im gonna install that and see if it helps fixes the issues, I think there still might be some life left in my VP, My LP wont even come on now but the truck will still crank and drive just like crap so it's pulling some fuel out.

Yea i checked out the site and read that didn't like that. I cant afford the better one at the current time while buying an airdog 150 i wanna only do this once. I was looking at Dieselautopower and they have one for 1G with taxes, and it states all new Electronics and newest upgrades im gonna call in the morning and verify the Computer if all checks out i'll order one from there, I also got a line on an old school Airdog150 with the JIC Fittings Brand new bought 3 years ago but never used hope i can get a good deal on that save some more $$ Thanks for the response and Tips i'm hoping it goes well

I totally forgot about Blue chip, i was looking locally so i could get the pump/lp ASAP and with out crazy shipping charges, Thanks for reminding me im gonna call them first thing in the morning before i go to Thoroughbred. Hopefully they have good prices i can't spend more than $1600 shipped with an airdog/fass LP I'll re-check all my connections again tomorrow all looked good today. one thing i noticed was that in the last few days the truck wouldn't crank first try like normal it took any wheres from 3-5 to 10+ tries before it cranked it would just click. then some times id crank 10+times in a row and start right up i checked all connections on starter/batteries all tight and no corrosion. i don't see how this would be related to a dead VP/LP though? and i've ran 2 cycle every tank since ive had it FEBRUARY and about 10k miles.

Congrats! Good luck with it, u've got some fun work ahead of you lol You gonna to a full write up on it?

Well i inspected my wires to the best i could see all looked well, Far as i can tell im gonna have to go by Throughbred diesel tomorrow and see if they have a VP and Airdog in stock... Spend the money. Now i gotta find sum one to give me a hand with it

What i figured... No i haven't yet im going to the store now to buy and FP Tester and a code scanner, Only thing i figure is the LP bit the dust to, it's a factory carter, IT was working fine pumping fuel i took the canister lid/filter out and bumped the key and it was pumping great, then about 10 mins later it wouldn't even come on nothing so unplugged the wire going to it/re-plugged it in and it started working again so it's working intermittently. Even when the LP was running i broke loose the Feed line from the LP to the VP and fuel just trickled out, so i took the line completely out and same thing not running just bumped. so i took it out and cranked the truck and it had a pretty good stream of fuel I also unplugged the power plug for the VP and it all looked good no bad pins still had dielectric grease in it. Far as i can tell this is a factory setup with about 285K on it. checked all fuses and relays all good, so i guess i gotta shell out the $1600 for new fuel system? - - - Updated - - - Well i went and rented a FP Tester hooked it up to the shrachder valve and bumped the LP read zero, and it didn't come on until i unplugged/plugged in the power plug on bottom of it mine is block mounted. Once i got it going i cranked the truck and the gauge still read zero didn't budge the whole time.... So last thing i wanna ask is, Is it possible for there to be an electrical issues some where that could cause the LP to act like it is or is that the for sure way of knowing i gotta drop money on a new set up? thanks

Well since this i got it going, Have since sold the XZT been running it stock. Now i think my VP has ate it...

Well i think my VP just bit the dust, truck was running just fine i left it running went in a store came out 10 mins later truck wasn't running, It cranked right up idled fine but when i gave it throttle it was not having it exhaust was gurggly and sputtered alot, so i limped it home about 10 miles going maybe 20-30MPH it would clear for maybe 3-5 secs at a time then cut back out. I got codes P1693, P1689, P1688,P0252,P0251,P0232 which = VP44 bad. I checked my fuel filter housing and it was full of fuel and it is still getting plenty of fuel so the Lift pump is good as far as i can tell, is it possible for it still work and the VP be crap? I also cracked the 1st and 3rd injector from the front and cranked the truck i got fuel but not much it sprayed ok but was foamyish. I checked the plugs on my ECM all tight and clean also checked all wires/plugs on the VP and Lift pump. I don't have a FP gauge installed truck is all stock still has the Void sticker on the VP With 285,XXX Miles Sorry about the long post, I have the money to go get a new VP and lift pump but i'd prefer not to if not needed i hate wasting $$$, I am capable of doing the work myself id just like to have some experienced help, So if there is any one near by who is experienced with taking the VPs off and such or has a fuel pressure gauge and wouldnt mind giving me a hand id greatly appreciate it, I'd help with fuel/Beer your pick haha Thanks in advance

As of today i've driven it 30 miles to/from work and been easy on it and got down on it some and truck runs just like it did before i had these issues, so im assuming it must have been a crazy fluke, Thanks again for all the advice and Input

So i'll leave the XZT unhooked until i get it fixed or upgrade. They look pretty good, but i know looks can be deceiving, i'll do the test tomorrow after work. Yea i know i hate using the stuff, but i did it as a last resort, if it didnt start today i was looking at having my truck towed 100+ miles back home to get fixed.. So i took a chance lol Is it possible that the Boost code caused the truck to shut down and not start? Seems odd to me

Thanks for the Reply, I got it running!!! i charged my Batteries up and got some Either and gave it a shot and the truck fired up on the 3rd shot, strange though as i did this yesterday and to no avail. So i took it for a 6 mile run with no issues runs just like it did before. i replaced the fuel filter as the old one was nasty bout due for it. I also ran a Batt/starter/Alt test and CEL check came back with these results P0237-Turbo/charger Boost sensor A circuit low i think this might be from my XZT+ i saw on a post where the built in boost fooler could cause issues? XZT+ is currently unhooked from the truck, i had the 3000 Tune on it and since i ran that tune this happened. I was running the Comp B4 with no issues. Alternator 13.59V Output 91Amps Driver batt 13.06V Pass batt 12.86V Im looking in to getting the Raptor Direct bolt in replacement. This one is currently working but in next 2 weeks deffintley replacing. and installing my FG. I I really appreciate all the replies, im familliar with the usual issues with these truck, i have just never experinced any of them...yet lol until this happened, stiull gets me though that either started it, when it didnt prior... Maybe Air in the fuel system? - - - Updated - - - I didn't know that i thought the sensors had to be plugged in to run, Good to know. I have a full Gauge setup with pilliar mount, I havent had time to install yet ive been pulling 12-16 Hr days, i know no excuse lol If u look at my post just before this i went over some more things as well, it still bugs me why and how this happened, and then all of a sudden it runs again like normal...

I thought it might be but it's not, Batteries are fine. I pulled the MAP out and it was almost spotless no clogs or any thing i cleaned it and replaced. Truck still just turns over after what i've read and tried i think my VP is shot, but hard to say with not being able to crank/run the truck to do all the test needed to be sure of that or what the problem is. Yes im in JAX, i had planned on going to both actually but we'll see

Just the normal Oreilly auto part store testers, im out of town working and all my tools are back home blah. They had 12 volts but thee charge percent was down, i charged them and put back in and tried cranking just turned over no fire to no avail. - - - Updated - - - Well i just borrowed a buddies New Battery put in with no change, and i also bumped the key for the LP to run and opened the drain valve and it shot out with plenty of pressure it was back splattering back upward so i know for sure the LP is doing it's job. im gonna go buy the nessecary sockets to take out the MAP and IAT sensors and clean them and see what happens.

Yea i know there crap lol. Yea i've been over on the CF for awhile now and skimmed thru here some finally decided to register and see if i can get some useful advice/help. Im deff mechanically inclined and ready to figure this thing out haha this is my only ride and DD, Shooting to save as much $$ as possible, as of now i gotta go get 2 new Batteries, checked my old ones yesterday and they tested bad 3 times on 2 different testers, Possibly cause an issues with what im experiencing? also wondering if i should pull out my MAP and cleann and re-install and see if it cranks? i just don't see how it being dirty/Bad could keep truck from starting... Run rough and crappy yes.

Thanks for the code explanations. I looked them up as well. I don't see how a Map sensor could keep truck from cranking, and have no clue what could be causing the low volts.

Yea it was half-3/4 full, i just did the key bump and LP ran for about 20 seconds no leaks that i can see all is dry. I checked the codes again and now i got a new code a P1488 i think from my Batts they are weak after all the Cranking Attempts

Ok i'll have to check that tomorrow, i can't do the fuel line my Apartments would have my Arse if i did that. even with a catch pan and all. Mine is on the engine, Stock as far as i know not aftermarket and if it was replaced was done with stock replacement, ive had the truck for 5 months

Well on the Suggestion of 98whitelighting, i lurked around searching on here for what my issues may be but to no avail i didn't find a solution to my problem. As of 2 days ago my truck was running just fine, then my CEL came on i went to parts store scanned and came back with P0237 MAP truck ran fine though so i cleared, came back about 6 hrs later cleared again probably coming on because of my XZt+ i had just uploaded a new tune to it. I don't know if this coincides with my issues from today, truck was driving fine this morning went to pick up a load for our job site and on the way back cruising about 35MPH truck just shut off, I checked fuel canister had bout half canister i topped it off, had plenty of fuel in the tank. tried cranking for about 5 mins to no avail so i had it towed. As to that point i searched all over Cumminsforum with no luck to my issues, so i figured id try over here. i have unplugged the XZT+ checked Batts, unplugged APPS and reset tried jumping the MAP Could a bad MAP cause a no start? i dont have the socket to take it out at the moment to clean. i can hear my LP buzz for bout 2 Secs when key is turned on no start like normal. Only conclusion and can come up with is maybe my VP is shot? ive checked fuses/relays all connections still just turns over. And i haven't installed a FPG yet i know thats a first for these trucks i just havent had time with work very busy lately. I'm sorry for such a long post im just trying to cover every issue that has happened and step ive taken to resolve. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
