How many miles with Fueling Box?

[JohnB]

Interested in how many miles people have with a major fueling box. Can any pump failures be linked to the box or is the lift pump also involved? Also do you have stock injectors or larger?

I've got 28k on mine since I put my JVD on and no problems with it except replacing my stock lift pump and huffing a turbo... lol. Be good!

i have probably 30k with a power edge , pump still pumping , replaced a lift pump , had 275 injectors for almost 40k , have been running DD3's lately . lift pumps with low pressure/volume and fueling boxes that connect post electronics have been known to cause injection pump failures

I have about 8K miles with a Power edge and 5k with both the PE and the EZ. The only problem I have is that my EGT can hit 1200 fast and 1500 max. I guess the other problem I have is that I don't have an HX40 yet.
I am planning (have in my hands) a fuel pressure gauge and will be going to a rear mounted lift pump with SS lines.

oops... I have 275 injectors but am going to go bigger soon.

BOMB ON!!

35K miles since installing the first of several fueling boxes, and I NEVER run with it "off". Also have DD stage 3 injectors.
Lift pump died long before I got around to installing a fuel pressure gauge.
Reminds me of what NASCAR driver Darrell Waltrip once said to a reporter, when the topic of discussion was "tell-tale tachs"... keep in mind this was when 'ol Darrell owned his own car and team...
He said:"What the he** do I need one of those for? I'm a gonna run the b*%#h till she blows up, anyway !"
That's my philosophy. I ain't gonna worry about my injection pump. I'm a gonaa run 'er till she blows ! Then dip into my savings/warranty/diesel fun slush fund and replace it. Too hooked on speed to worry about it. I do my very best to maintain every bit of the truck & drivetrain in top condition, though.

22,000 on a VA box. Otherwise totally stock. No problems of any kind. Never been in the shop for anything (I'm sure I shouldn't have put that in writing, it will all probably fall apart tomorrow morning). Wouldn't be without my "box. "

Both, Mark from TST, and Chip from Blue Chip, claim the VP44 failure rate is no higher running their boxes than it is stock.

I have about 60,000 on my truck and about 48,000 with DDIIIs and RV ECM then about 35,000 with those plus a PowerMax 2 and the only thing I had was low fuel pressure so I replaced my Lift pump for $80.
