Found source for VP44 connector

[marked23]

I found a source for VP44 connectors, and pigtails. 

http://americadiesel.us/

 

$13.20 for the connector shell

$2.20 for each pigtail (I ordered 10, to allow for a few mistakes)

$57 shipping 

 

My total was $92.  Even with International Priority FedEx fees, that's still cheaper than other sources.

 

It's a genuine AMP 965734, new.  Our stock connector has two holes blocked.  This one has all nine holes open, so I'll have to plug two. It did not come with the wire-cover back-plate.

 

I ordered 10 pigtails.  I was expecting them to be all one color, but I was happy to see that they randomized the colors for me.  They aren't the factory colors/stripes, but any color is better than all-the-same.

Do you want to make some money? I'll sell them if you make them... Make an assembly plug for doing the Blue Chip testing of the VP44.

What are you trying to make?

@GSP7 I've chewed up my existing connector doing a bunch of tests to diagnose my VP44.  I cut the Pin-5 wire too.  So I got this to repair the damage I did.  I'll replace all the contacts, while I'm at it.

Mopar1973Man are you referring to test #3 on blue chips site?

I think so... I've not read the page yet. It would be helpful to have the tool for diagnostics.
