    VP44 questions

    Is there any benefit to purchasing a Bosch reman VP44 vs. a reman VP44 from a reputable aftermarket builder? Does Bosch have access to better parts, electronics, and/or test equipment? Bosch reman pumps are slot more expensive than anyone else. Thanks

    I'm new to the registry, but not to the cummins. I have a 2001 5.9l that is all stock at the moment with 253k miles. The problem I am having is that every now and then when I am leaving from a stop sign turning right, the engine stutters for a full second or little more. Once I straighten out...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Location for Fuel Pressure Sending Unit (EDGE)

    Any recommendations/guidance for location of the EDGE fuel pressure sensor? I'd like to put it on the VP44, but where? On the inlet side banjo, or on the check valve (return) side? I have a snubber from Geno's. I have the FASS Titanium, so the stock fuel filter canister is not an option. I've...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Best source to buy VP-44 injection pump or rebuilding service

    I was wondering what the best prices and places were to have a Bosch VP-44 injection pump rebuilt. Also, have any of you just replaced the pump seals and diaphragm? I have a kit that supposedly has a revised diaphragm which will not have as much of a problem with low pressure and will not...
