Question for you 24V guys.
 
I work in the machine shop at an auto repair shop and there has been a 2000 Dodge 2500, 5 speed 4x4 thats basically been abandoned. Production date is 1-00 if it matters. Its had some computer issues from what have been able to gather, something along the lines of the computer wasnt communicating with the engine. Any how had a new computer put in, just to find that the Lift pump had failed taking out the Injection pump. So the truck hasnt been cranked and there is no guarantee that the computer issues have been fixed.

The shop foreman is talking like he is ready to put a lien on it and either sell it or send it to the crusher.

My question is, if i end up with this thing, Would it be worth my money to just get another vp44 and keep the computer, or should i save the money up to convert it to a P 7100 pump if i were to put it in my 1982 GMC Dually?

Also does anyone know if the NV4500 output shafts for the 4x4's are the same length as the 2wd's to where i could just put a 2wd tail housing on it and run it.

Just keep it and repair it. For the amount of money spent on converting to a Ppump I will have enough VP44's to go nearly a million miles. (figuring 200K per pump).

It's worth it to keep trust me... But here is the computer CCD Network wire map and so inof on the computers.

Id try to get it at a good price, get a new VP44 in it, and go for it, the 4x4 get good fuel mileage too, and get a Fuel pressure gauge so you can make the VP44 last as long as possible.
