Late production 2002 3500HO-Bone Stock 56K, FASS pump at 52K-was getting nervous before a big road trip about loosing a L/P. -Use Power Service when ever towing. Truck is a hanger queen-Doesn't get used much.

My dad is currently in at 270k on the original VP44 in his 99... not sure what mileage/when I posted last.



They are planning on doing some more involved travel this coming year and we intend on replacing the VP44 just to be sure. Although he doesn't notice, I can tell his truck is lagging a little on power... but it always starts and gives a very reliable 21 mpg highway.



He has never really taken care of the fuel system (other than to keep the LPs changed based on the low pressure light I bought him). He only occasionally ran and fuel additive, but he ran 90% of the fuel put through that truck from a single station...

Hard for me to say for sure... I bought my truck with 250K on the clock, and while the pump may have been replaced at some point in the truck's life, it sure looks dirty & greasy enough to be original...

 

[dram99]

just turned 187k with no fueling troubles. . only 3 fuel filthers during that time...

 

[JLittle]

On my 2k dually I got 168k miles on the first vp44 and still running the original lift pump which now has 227k miles on it! so I know the lift pump didnt make my vp go bad, its got 12psi at idle and 8 at wot now! I know its slowly loosing psi but its been a good one!

[kkreigh]

93k original VP 3rd LP

 

[DSpencer]

Mine is running on 140k miles. I have replaced two lift pumps, one for leaking due to ULSD.



I have a friend that has a 2001 auto with 270k miles. No lift pump or VP problems and no fuel filter for the first 60k miles... ... until I filled him in.

A couple weeks ago he told me that his truck had been hard to start for a couple of weeks so I assumed dead lift pump. I took my check guage and sure enough no pressure, I couldn't even hear it run. I had an extra campaign pump so he put it in. Now starts like new... ...



I don't think he knows how special he is.
