I'm stationed in Virginia right now. My vp died last time I went home and i was just gonna have it replaced so I dont spend Christmas leave fixin my truck. All the quotes I've gotten are over 3k! I say F that. What are yalls thoughts?

 

I say F that indeed! Save yourself a handful of cash and take one day to do it yourself. I've done it a bunch on construction equipment, and my fastest time is about 40 minutes using timing pins. They are very easy to change.

 

ya f that for sure, spend the grand on getting the pump and find a step by step online if need be. save yourself some money!

 

That extra $1000 could fly me there to do it!

 

40 mins wow!!probably take me that just to pull the lines off the pump!!!

 

That's on an Excavator. There is WAY more room to access everything.

 

Or spend the extra money on a P-pump conversion... I just pulled the VE (similar injector line setup) off my 89 last night in about an hour. It was my first time doing it and I pulled the lines and a bunch of other crap off while I was there...

 

I'm as green to diesel's as anyone and just had a VP44 go out on me as well. In a word.... EASY!!! Even though Dogde packed the engine compartment with a shoe horn, it was'nt that bad. If you can get a puller and line the "key" up, I'd guarantee you easily be done in a day. I ordered mine from Diesel Auto Power and am more than pleased. The only thing I'd highly recommend in an aftermarket (FASS or Airdog) lift pump.
