Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Cant Stand Being Stock Anymore

[LOtero]

I had a superchip in the truck since i bought it but it needed an update, sent it in and two weeks now and they still havent gotten to look at it. I wanted to upgrade for some time now but was happy for the time being with the superchip. now Im going crazy not being able to keep up. been thinking about injectors or box (comp, tst). been getting a injection pump timing dtc, and a few others companion module falure i think. Ive had the truck bog down bad and have no power, could call it dead pedal. I think vp44 dieing. suggestions?

spend some money to save some money, put a fuel pressure gage on! could save you some big $$$$ later!

had a lift pump replaced under warrenty back a bout a year and a half ago. checked pressure manually, never dropped below 9 wot.

I was on my 3rd Lift Pump at 32,000 miles. I would recommend getting a fuel pressure gauge.

Should have constant reading on fuel pressure!!!!!



With that being said, When I just had the Comp I ran it on 3x5 most of the time, after I put in the DD II's I now leave the box off unless it's time to play. It sounds like you are going to need a VP soon so maybe you could look at a hotrod pump. I think if I was doing it all over again I might go with the blue chip box or a TST but the injectors are nice because it's there all the time. You will be amazed at the difference between the superchips and a box from Edge or someone else. Get an Edge Comp and put it on, if your pump dies get a new one because you're going to have to anyways.
