I have had my truck for 3 years it came with one.. now it’s stalling at stops. What should I do.. I took it off but it gave off a “ check engine “ light .
This video explained all my problems I'm having unfortunately the guy I bought my truck off of did this exact stupid thing and now I'm having to replace and fix all the issues caused by stupidity
Enjoy your videos. I have a 95 4x4 that i installed a 2001 front axle . That allows for 3 gen brakes, track bar, steering ect ... That and locking hubs. Timken bearings ect . Ijust installed another vp44 on my friends truck . He has gotten about 100k on each pump. I did not want a vp44 truck
Great video. . Wise words josh.. I don't mind the redundant speech. . I learn every time... congrats on the 300 subs .. it should be 30 000 but I'm sure you will get there..
I am running that same vp44, the guy before me was running the pos stock lift pump with hacked wiring. Will be upgrading my vp this winter as I am getting some related codes under a good load or if I rip on it with my smarty plugged in or unplugged
GOOD POINT puting a tuner on the truck is realy bad i bought my truck knowing it had a tuner and what a mess every thing this truck is BEAT TO CRAP took out the trany drive train now im getting ready to put a new VP pump on .. i have a EDGE EASY it dose not tap in to any thing but the plug on the side of the block i dont even think i realy need that eather .... good video
I learned this lesson the hard way. Had an edge comp box, bigger injectors, s&b intake, hx40 turbo and a stage 3 built trans on my 01 Cummins with stock lift pump. Long story short vp44 lasted only 3 months. Had no gauges either. Smh. Ended up selling it because I couldn't afford to fix it at the time. Smh. Miss that truck a lot.
pure panoRAMa I hear that. Space is always good. But honestly 3rd gen back seats arent much larger than 2nd gens. Its just more convienient have 4 regular doors instead of suicide doors when getting the kids in and out.
Unplug your temperature sensor and see how starts. That’s what I done about 3 years ago on my 2000 5.9 it starts fine now unless you plug the sensor back in
BD diesel makes a stealth cover to go on top of the vp 44 so you don't have to tap the wire and it makes a better connection. I have a smarty don't know too much about them they have 9 preset programs but I think you can download different ones to, I wish I knew more about how they work. The next mod I want to see you do on your Cummins is a banks monster Ram intake horn or a cowel hood.
Travis Hurren I think a lot of people just get eager to get their edge comp box installed and splice it right into the wire without spending the extra money on stealth cover. The stealth cover still taps the wire but is supposed to be more secure and sealed up for protection. I'd have to call and see if that voids warranties still because I've got mixed answers through other people about that topic. I'm planning on a intake horn soon, but I cant let ya know which one I was thinking about just yet! Haha
How many times will you haft to change it to get a good one? Lol 😆 they sale junk for junk!! I bought coil packs and still had a miss in my wife’s car and the manager at o’s said it could be one of those coil packs bad!! I said there brand new!! He said ya sometimes they are bad right out of the box! Guess what!!! One of them was I put one old one back in and run like a fat cat snores perfect!! Lol
Vp44 if it is running GRATE can it gust stop go I went through 3 sand storms 45min later went down a grade put in 4th got down it put in 5th dead would not start! Been broken down for 2weeks there trying to charge me$4000 to fix got me for 2 batteries $750 I need your advice just before I got fuel and I found out it was gritty I'm in Las Vegas right now a lot of sandstorms could really use your help and advice Thanks
VP44$$ issues are related to inner electronic failures components .... as electronic junk mixed with high heat levels doesnt last . no matter how much fuel you use to try to cool it.... There will be always issues because of heat to these inner electronic components regardless . Its a guarantee if the electronic components design was different and were mounted somewhere else OTHER than engine compartment high heat area on top of pump near the engine ~it would last much longer .
Kingdom music What do you think is a better alternative fuel system to replace the 44 ? Will the 12 v mechanical pump be an option or what they call the p pump common rail system? What is economically freezable for a more reliable injection system? I had two of the second Gen trucks dropped in my lap and I've been totally restoring a 2001 4x4 3500 for a couple years and I have a 01 2wd 2500 I've been attempting to work all the problems out of while using it as a daily driver one thing after another. Only if Toyota would have introduced the 8.0L diesel 3500 dually in 2008 like they had planned to before the gas prices skyrocketed that year
@@Nonsensenoalph advantages to the p pump are reliability and the ability to move stupid amounts of fuel. It's like the Holley 4bbl of the diesel world when you get it dialed Biggest and most simple way to describe p-pump is mechanical tuning. You will not see 30mpg with either, so throw mpg out the windows and pray for 20mph highway and be happy.Vp is easily tuned with with plug and play box, and can last a A decent amount of time but have money ready as it can fail when least expected , its trademark pattern. . Ppump on the other hand , once installed with/ without new injectors, and timed properly will have great results.Both have pros and cons. But ppump is a superior pump in the end, just a matter of justification on initial input cost and p pmps dont have the dreaded out of nowhere dead on delivery / middle of nowhere trademark pattern Like the vp44 electronic controlled time bomb circuitry its cousin has.
@@kingdommusic5456 thanks for the reply I drove trucks in the oilfield in the beginning of 1982 and ventured over the road mid 80s for almost half a century and I went thought the big V8 3408A model caterpillar and the later 3406B model mechanical engines the two stroke Detroit screamers the air starting maxidine engines. I was one of the first to try the Detroit 60 series engine when they were still in the real time commercial truck industry testing. But I didn't have any interest or time to being into the Cummins dodge pickup trucks or the engines . But now I have somehow ended up with two basically identical trucks.

But I don't know shit about these trucks except for what I have taken apart researched the best upgrades for everything or making Kenworth or Peterbilt parts instead of dodge parts. I'm old some say a little bit crazy but my brain forgets more ideas than it remembers
24V runs really well with P7100. VP44 was always a piece of shit design. Sure, they work fine with all the correct factors, but to have a truck that dies because of a bad stock design is just wrong. P7100 only costs another $500 over a VP44 replacement if you just use the stock parts to convert. Don't buy some goofy $1000 "conversion kit" when all you need is the gear, the fuel lines and a used timing cover.
Hey, Just bought an 01 2500, and it came with an Edge box stuck to the top of the fuse box lid, I presume that’s what you are talking about... It doesn’t have any gages or fuel line upgrades that I know of. the other day I went out to get in my truck and it fired right up then died.. I turned the key over to listen for the Lift Pump to turn on and it didn’t. I tried a few more times and then I finally heard it turn on and pump fuel through, I did that a few times then it started, do you think my Lift Pump is going bad? If I tare out the Edge box will that mess with whatever tune was on the truck and cause more problems? Thanks for that help!
pure panoRAMa so their is no automatic 5 speed transmission for theis pickups, the only reason I ask is because I just had to have a new-rebuild put in and my old one would shift to another gear at about 90 mph and this new one the last gear is at about 50 mph so I'm a little concerned that the shop pulled a fast one on me. Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.
That's why I was mentioning wanting to get a stand alone fuel filter to mount down on the frame. I've got the Fass Platinum 150 which only has a water separator on it, so the stand alone filter would be my 2nd filter and allow me to run the fuel line right up into the VP which I need to do when I put a new injection pump onto the truck. I'm not gambling with that thing, because I haven't heard of anybody who enjoys changing VP44 pumps haha.
I like your logo that you have going on. I've got to come up with something for a logo soon. I'm trying to think of whether or not I want to keep this channel name, or change it. I was never really set on this name, but needed to name it something to get it started for now.
Sorry man I guess I didn't realize that that pump only had a water separator it. truth be told as soon as my old fass red top goes bad I'm switching to airdog much better customer service.
Chad Myers73 I've thought about changing to airdog myself, but I've got the fass on already, and itd be an easy swap to put a new motor on the fass. Idk what to do about that just yet..
The airdogs and fass pumps aren't holding up down the road well enough to justify the money...check out the predator mechanical pump from power driven diesel...more fuel, no electronics, and about 250$ LESS than an entry level fass/dawg...much better animal...

Sorry to hear that man! I hope you're able to get it changed out with little hassle and get back on the road soon. Great reminder that those trucks need good fuel supply and filtration. Airdog is my #1 recommendation.
Thanks. They also sd the fuel pump was testing OK, but when it died and I tried to bump it to see if the pump was kicking on, it would kick on intermittently.
