My guess is your vp was on the way out, when they put it back after tapet cover gasket, probably took too long to get the air out cranking and vp got more damage to timing piston. What fuel pump do you have. I don't think you'll get them to pay for anything, these people make leaving on others misery. You can always try never know. Is your vp original 

Ive had a fass 165 on there for 5 years. Has fuel pressure and the pump is working.

Truck is completely gutless no matter what the edge is on and low rpm wants to die. I checked over their work and nothing obvious stands out.

My pump is original with 155k on it. I just don't understand why it would die with adequate fuel pressure

Some were better than others, heard of people changing them as early as 20k. I got my truck with 120k on it and it already had a reman vp for a while from what I was told.

  My original lasted 3 years and 75k miles. Yours has seen 5 years of a FASS system. What did it see for the first 14 years of its life? My latest VP has 270k on it and 8 maybe 9 years of pumping with an AD pump and 2 cycle oil. But it had similar symptoms as yours. No real loss of power until 10 minutes before it died, but I did have the surging and a 216 code. Are you experiencing any hard starting as in longer than normal cranking time.

 

This could just be an ugly coincidence.

Yes it starts like its 0 degrees outside when its 50. Also another weird thing happened today. When I had my obd reader connected I got a "no buss" message on the odometer.

The message went away after unplugging the reader.

The no buss would be over my head.
