Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) ETC VP44 Pump on a ETH

[mopars1]

I might have a chance of picking up a VP44 pump off a 2000 3500 ETC that failed and was wondering if I sent it out and had it rebuilt would it be worth installing it on my ETH? I haven't read anywhere that someone has tried this. Anyone in the know think this is worth pursuing?

If I remember right, Piers tried this, and it didn't work too well. That was a while back though.

Mark Chapple at T. S. T did this and lost something like 30 hp,so I wouldn,t try it.

Thanks for the replies so far. I figured it wasn't worth it as I haven't noticed any posts on it. I just thought that with the supposed smaller fueling capabilities of the ETH VP44 compared to the ETC VP44 that it might be worth a chance. I would have to guess there are some pressure differences between the two that just doesn't jell.

VP44 for ETC

Hello Mopars1,

I could use a core VP44 to play with. Blue Chip had a disassembled pump at Muncie and whetted my appetite for explore the pump. If you are not interested and the pump is for sale I would appreciate knowing the price and a chance to buy it.

Thanks, Larry Crawford

PS: I still haven't tried the injectors that I gave you to try. I'm thinking of having them extrude honed out for a performance injector. Talked to Big DQ at the Sullivan, MO sled pull Saturday and would like to make the Aug. 10 get together in Edwardsville.

I was interrupted during the above post... ..... I thought that I was sending a PM rather then posting

Larry, I will check on the pump tomorrow. I don't know the status of a purchase at this time, I just know it was returned and charged back to the dealership because the pump wire had been split and warranty was denied. I think the core charge for the pump was $600. 00 but I don't know what the Parts Manager is going to do with it.

Dave, he's probably gonna inflict a bypedular impaction on the guy that brought that truck in hope it wasnt someone we know.



Larry, what do you want to do, pull 600 feet each hook are you working on a two for one deal with the sled operator?

 

[mopars1]

Todd, I think you hit the nail right on the head the first try

Todd T,

Hey I just want a "little" more pulling punch , how about tandem VP44's running off dual ECM's . Yes, 600 feet per pull would be about right... ... ..... question for you though: How many turbo's will be needed to maintain 1250 egt on a 600ft pull This is fun!! Larry
