How to check vp44 wiretap


Recommended Posts

He's got twins, and then some :)

Yeah compounded air, 150 sac sticks and juice/smarty stack. I was able to hit close to 50 psi without the juice wiretap. Its more than enough power ........ now just concerned about breaking something (tranny, HG, flexplate, input shaft, floating valve) etc etc ...... so far it seems ok ..... I generally dont push it that hard - but often in the 45 psi range. Glad to have that sorted - simple in the end .......... did my 3rd gen brake upgrade as well last week - its ok - wasnt like wow. Now a track bar, some touch up paint and maybe some lukes links replacement bushings ....

What was all involved with the 3rd gen brakes? Bigger dual piston calipers? Did you change rotors? After my last go around with my caliper hang up Im looking to get away from my single piston calipers. Theres a company called EGR thats got some upgraded units for the early 2nd gens, theyre big $$$ but cheaper than what my last go around cost me...

Like John said, mine shows 0 too but my comp is definalty working and giving power increases all the way through the levels. Smoke, egts and power are all more on 5x5 than 2x5. I have a scotchlock but its siliconed up so no moisture gets in.

Wire tap isn't working...:nono: There should be 12V on your grey lead in the cab then... Should ALWAYS have 12V with the key ON and probe either the grey wire in the cab or the tap point of the VP44. But in the end there should be 12V on the grey wire. If its showing 0 volts then your NOT wire tapped. :rolleyes:

So basically you got a Edge EZ with that Edge Comp and no extra fueling. :whistle:

sorry missed this 3rd Gen Rotors (bigger) 17" rims (for clearance). 3rd Gen Pads 3rd Gen Caliper Brackets thats it - you can reuse the existing calipers (at least on 01-02).
