    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) sluggish 02

    DieselWrks, Thanks for the link to Blue Chip, I will pass it along to the owner. The guy explains the problem very well on his website and knowing the owner as I do he will go all out and do it right.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) sluggish 02

    Thanks for all the help. Is the computer a part of the pump? I talked with the guy from Taylor Diesel Services in Memphis and he said to check all the grounds first. The reason I ask if the computer is part of the pump is that the sluggishness is sporatic. . It runs great then it runs sluggish>...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) sluggish 02

    Ok located a rebuilt vp 44 pump at Taylor Diesel Service in Memphis for $1075, it comes with a 12 month unlimited milage warranty and requires a new pick up pump to be installed at the same time. . He also selles a low fuel pressure Light kit for $85 to let you know when the pick up pump fails...

    Thanks KKlingbeil, Should I tell him to try the lift pump first. On another thread I read that was posted in 2006 a guy said he replaced the lift pump and it worked fine. .

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) sluggish 02

    From a little research I've done it seems like a VP-44 which I asume is an injector pump may be the problem, I've also read that changing the lift pump may solve the problem. I don't realy know at this point what to tell my friend, I personally have a 1996 12 valve with 375,000 miles on it and...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) sluggish 02

    The problem started before the Bully Dog was installed. Also my friends nephew has the exact same model truck and his is doing it too. His truck does not have the Bully Dog system on it. I have not pulled the codes, (I have a reader that my dad gave me and have not used it yet). I heard you can...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) sluggish 02

    I have a friend with a 02 1 ton that has a Bully Dog computer installed but the problem started before the Bully Dog was installed. The truck seems to act like a govener has kicked in all the time. It will run great with lots of pwr then you hit the gas and it seems to have a ten ton trailer...
