Default VP44 DEATH Who make the best replacement

VP44 died yesterday and left me stranded 90 miles from home. It only had 58000 miles in it. Thanks to good friend and a big roll back we got it home. Anyway who makes the best replacement VP44 ? Who has the best price ?
Thanks in advance.

Best bet is checking some of the sponsors, though off the top of my head I know Industrial Injection makes/sells them. Could do a google search for "HRVP44 or Hot Rod VP44" as well.

My $.02 as a 12v guy with something to say.

I went with Blue Chip Diesel myself and couldn't have been happier with the after the sale service they gave me, but Industrial Injection is probably the most commonly used shop for em.

Mine is a Schield But I think the Industrial Injection Ones are better , The failure rate of the aftermarket ones is very low

I would look into the SO pumps from II or Bluechip. The HRVP is ok but I have heard alot of people saying they would rather have an SO. The only reason i will go back if mine ever goes bad is B/C I think I can get more HP out of an SO pump.

Just went out to mt truck and now there is a puddle of diesel fuel on the ground. Right under the VP44. Maybe a cracked housing ?? Anybody ever seen this after the VP44 dies???
