Default VP replacement, I DID IT!!!

I didi it! I swapped out my VP! No problems what so ever, I watched the Diesel Dan videos, and wham-o! I did almost ferget to replace my Cam sensor, but I relized it before it was too late. Anyone questioning whether they can do it or not, YOU CAN! Don't sike yourself out like I did. I started at 6:30 am, and got done about 12:30PM. Yeah I know, i'm a rookie, i'm quite proud of Billy D

Looks intimidating at first, but just knuckle done and do it.

Gives you a good feeling of accomplishment when you do it yourself, and you have a better understanding of your engine.

Congrats.

Thats great to hear! I like to offer those videos to everyone looking to change their own VP44. They are just damn good!

I seen the video on another forum thread too. Walked me thru it very nicely and straightforward. I will be attempting it in the near future as well!
