what would cause dead pedal ina truck? friend of mine says it might be a predecessor to vp44 failure? any hints would be helpful also what do you think about remanufactured vp44

Scan for codes. Could be VP-44 could be APPS - could be a few other things.

What is the condition of your lift pump? do you have a fuel pressure guage?

 

no i dont have a fuel gauge it reads po121 how do u check status of lift pump

 

You need a fuel pressure gauge to check the lift pump.
P0121 (M) Accelerator Position Sensor (APPS)
Signal Voltage Too Low
APPS voltage input below the minimum acceptable
voltage.

You might be in luck, and it could be just the APPS. You can get an aftermarket one from here:

What he said. ^^^

He needs to seriously think about putting a fp guage in. Can literally save him over $1k.

 

how much can you expect to put into gauges.do you think i ought to go ahead and get a fass pump

 

You can request a price quote from the vendors here
Price Quote - Request A Price - Diesel Bombers
You can expect to pay around $400 for a three gauge setup though I think...
An aftermarket lift pump is an absolute must on a VP powered truck (FASS or Airdog).
Good luck.

 

THANKS ALOT FOR THE INFO I APPRECIATE IT
