Sorry guys been gone for a couple days.

The throttle issue is way better but still does it every now and again, but..... it still starts hard when it warmed up. In the morning it starts very easy but i am getting white smoke. Somebody said the pump could be headed out ? is that a tell tale sign ?

It is very likely your VP-44 - I was thinking this when you initially posted but was hoping it was just the APPS. White smoke, dead pedal and hard starts when warm are classic signs of a dying VP-44.

Have you scanned the truck for codes? What kind of fuel pressure have you been running?

What he said, is what I said. Sorry for the potentially expensive news

ya scan yer codes and report back............dont sound good

Well I hate to tell ya this but that is exactly what mine did and I was hoping apps. It ended up being my vp-44. Hope it's not so. Let us know what you find out.

is it surging any at ldle??

Sounds like its time for an Industrial Injection VP44 or Blue Chip Vp44

I have to put my fuel pressure gauge on it and check it. Havent got to that yet. It doesnt surge at idle...yet ! I was afraid the pump was headed south. Which pump is the better choice ???

Please tell me that you have a pyrometer and boost guage.

Oh yeah...For sure.. Wouldnt leave home without it !
