2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission How many are still running their original VP(fuel pump)?

[1mopardoc]

01 HO 6spd with 80k and 1 LP replacement.

Just flipped 113. 000 this morning and still on original VP44 and LP (though that's about to change in a week ). I just realized that from my last post on 01 OCT, I drove 2300 miles

 

[Wooter]

129850 miles - About 80 % pulling heavy loads. Still running strong. Recently have pulled some long steep grades and hp seems to be like it was when new.

I drove my dad's truck a couple weeks ago... he has somewhere around 275k on the original VP44. Most of these are highway miles, probably 5% actually towing/working the truck.

You can definitely tell there is a power loss since new... he probably doesn't notice it because he drives it daily. I noticed it because I don't drive it but once every 6 months. It feels like going from a Geo to a 5. 0 Mustang when stepping out of his truck and into mine! I notice it lags power on hills he used to just power up.

I figure in the spring we will just replace both the VP44 and the injectors with new units as a preventative measure... they are wanting to start traveling some since they are now retired, and it would probably be best to start with some low mileage stuff!

Never thought we'd literally wear a VP44 out...

Just turned 71K have lost 3 LP's but went to FASS 20K ago. Been bombed since 12K even bigger fuel lines and tapped pump. I've ALWAYS used Stanidine or Amalgimated(sp)? every fillup.

Update just turned 100k (100850) still all is good

 

[AABEN]

Still running the same pump on 89 300. 000+ also on 03__50. 000

 

[Jerryy]

Still on the original at 230,000 miles on my 99.

 

[Wyomingcowboy]

still original VP and LP

 

[JCreese]

Only 80,000 miles but still original VP (Replaced 1 bad LP @ 58,000 miles)

 

[coreyallan]

110,00 original VP 3rd LP, 16oz Lucus every fill up and fuel filter every 3k.

 

[drag racer]

Original VP and 2nd lift pump (failed at 20k), although I have insanely low miles for the year.

 

[DLane]

Left me stranded @ 156,000. Now has a p pump

 

[Huntmastr1]

285K still going

 

[Trailduster79]

To the best of my knowledge mine still has the orginal VP at 118K and it might be the stock LP as well. PO didn't mention having replaced it.



Just installed FP gauge on Sat and it is pushing 12-13 PSI at idle, and at WOT around 7-8. Crusing it stays around 10

 

[DieselDave]

214,000 miles and still running strong on the original pump. I replaced the lift pump at about 100,000 but that's it. Stock engine still runs like new! Lot's of unloaded highway miles though.

 

[rotohead]

110,000 miles on original VP but at least four lift pumps. Relocated last one on frame rail and it's lasted the longest.

Update: Just returned from a round trip to Maryland from Texas, via Indiana to pick up our horse. Truck is now at 117,800 miles and still all original.
