vp44 electronic fix
#11
Well I am about to try it on this truck am working on its a 2001 with 260,000 miles and I have been getting dead pedal and the P0216 code . Hope this fixes the problem and don't have to spend some g's. So I took it of today and forgot to stagger the first set of wires but what I did is that I put a pice of red tape on one end of the cable and another on the other end is that going to work or did I just messed every thing up. O and the other mistake i did was that when I unplug the big harness I broke one of the little tabs that locks it in will this have any effect when ever I plug it back on the ,the other one still locks in.But I got the resistor already just trying to find an electrician guy.

When you order the mosfet, get it in what's called a DPAK and not the TO-220 that's the shape of it.. no modifications needed.
yes, someone with a good soldering iron is required, hot air pencil is an even bigger plus.
DPAK
Can you tell i'm the electronics guy? if anyone is in the general northeast ohio area I can do this for you.
edit: edit: edit: this is basically what happend in the chevy 6.5 PMD modules.. same fix different part

Ok so I got mine done. Followed all the instructions, but it wont start. The insulation of the cables was pretty old and cracked do when I was peeling them the insulation fell apart so I tried as much as possible to get them covered on one I put a shrinking tube and the other one I used liquid tape but I think theres still part of that cable touching metal could this cause any problems . Because this is whats going on I put every thing back on and loosen some injectors and it wont start. So I loosen the banjo bolt on the vp44 to check if it was getting fuel there and it did came out with a lot of pressure so I tighten the banjo back on and loosen injector line 3,4 and 5 I am on getting fuel out of injector 4 and 5 . What should I do?

I'm no expert but sounds to me like you ought to try crankin some more. Cuz if you're getting fuel at 4 and 5 it'd be my guess fuel is moving but just hasn't made it all the way through yet. How long did you try crankin it?
#18
oooh. I didn't know you cranked on it that much. Yeah, you've probably got issues in there somewhere.

the ones i worked on came out fine, anything touching metal will definitely screw things up. did u get an electronics guy to do the job. if one of the connection are bad let me know i can send u an alternate location to soilder it on ok.

Yes one of the cables the one closest to the engine was touching metal because the insulation of it came out when I was stripping it came apart in small pieces so I tought it wasn't touching metal till I went back today and saw it was touching the metal on the vp44 so I put liquid tape the one they sell at home depot but I guess is to late huh .It wont start I tried everything. And yes I had an electronics guy help me out.
