Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Ok 24 V'ers... Work Truck Power Upgrades

[Ruckuz]

I would not add any power above stock to a truck with a stock LP..... I learned the hard way$$$$$$$$

What about the LP relocated to the bed??

way better off installing a good after market pump... . VP44's up here are pushing 2g's and without good fuel pressure he will be looking for a new one soon.

The relocate kit will cost about the same as a holley blue pusher pump $110, but won't supply the pressure of the holley. My brother got 20 psi idle & 15wot running the holley/ stock lp together. Thats what I get with my Fass 150.

Great Info!!

Anything else i should know about before i take him prices, specs and such??

Definitly upgrade his lift pump, Its cheap insurance for your vp44. If all hes looking for is a little more oomph, you coulld also check out a superchip, I ran one for a while and liked it till the bombing bug got me. its a 65 horse tuner, egts and boost wont go off the map with it, I had a hy9 turbo on my truck when I was running it and egts never went above 1300. thats pulling 8000 pounds. its a good little tuner if someone doesent want to upgrade anything else like trans and turbo.

I just installed the Bullydog Outlook and am very pleased with it. Has anyone else tried it.

After my third lp went out so did my VP. The dealer said there is a fix and installed a pusher pump in the tank. How does it compare. The bill set me back about 3500.

The intank pump is not a good pump from what I've been reading... . supplies low fuel pressure from day #1. You could have had a Fass, Air Dog for alot less $$$

OK now that I have already paid for that. Can someone tell me where to get a FASS, or Air dog. I am new to the bombing thing.

A guy i've met in my town from talking to him about his 2001 4x4 Auto QC LB loves the power of my truck. I think hes already got a bit of the bombing bug. In the winter, this truck plows, with a full 8ft salter, and in the summer, tows a dump trailer, as well as landscape equipment. On top of that, it is his daily driver. I've already talked him into gauges, what direction should i point him in for a box. Already put a BHAF on it, and explained to him as much as i can about general care and operation. He needs something fairly cheap, good power without torching the transmission first week, and serious reliability. What do you think???

i have the bully dog power pup 4in turbo back exhaust afe cold air intake the only reason i have bully dog is because i am waiting for somebody to come up with a for real 120 hp chip that dosent tap the wire ! if bosch wont warranty the pump after the wire has been taped guess what it aint a good idea. anyhow you can read up on that more here javascriptl('http://www.bluechipdiesel.com/injectionpumpfailures.html'); it basically says if the pump is going to fail it will do it in the first while of operation i personally dont have another 1200. 00 buck laying around to replace the pump again and i dont wish to be in the other ten percent of unexplained failuers either. any way i tow on regular basis and i would definatley go with at least a torque converter upgrade and valve body upgrade at least that setup lasted my truck 177,000 miles without any trouble. i did however end up buying a full dtt with billet input and all the internal upgrades which is a great transmission i tow between 30,000 and 37,000 gvw. you probly wouldnt need to go that far but definatley a mag hy tech double deep pan transmission temp gauge and pyro and in the very near future vavle body upgrade and torque converter. i can tow on stage three and never get egts above 1,300
