2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Newbie here...Need Updated Info on the VP44's...

[ECC]

I've spent the last several days reading everything I could find on rebuilt VP44's and I'm more confused than when I started. I'm hoping you folks can clear some things up.

Initially, I was leaning towards a Blue Chip X Injection Pump... but after doing a LOT more research, it sounds as if ALL of the Factory Authorized Bosch Rebuilders have the new housings, steel sleeves, steel piston inserts and bushings, along with new Bosch Computers. Is this true??? Do ALL of the Bosch Certified Remans come with every single part that can be replaced, replaced, like Blue Chip claims that they do???

If so, wouldn't I be just as well off, getting an Industrial Injection SO pump along with some Bosch 300 HP Marine Injectors instead of paying a grand more for the Blue Chip X Pump???

I had a guy tell me that the MWFI pumps were junk. He recommended the Industrial Injection pumps. I've had several folks tell me that it wasn't worth spending the extra money on the Blue Chip pumps. I want to buy whichever pump is the best quality and will last the longest. I don't have the money to be spending on this right now, but I want to buy the best I can buy when I have replace it.

I have an '01 stock truck (not the H. O. ) 5 speed manual with and Air Dog 150, AFE Cold Air Intake, AFE High Air Ram, and a 4" Exhaust. I'd like to get a little more HP with the injectors and the IP. I plan on adding and Edge Juice with Attitude down the road.

Thank you for any input I can get!!!


Edit... it looks as if I may have posted this in the wrong forum. I will be reposting in the enginge/transmission forum. Sorry if this was the wrong place.

call me lucky I have 80k on my vp from Oregon fuel injection. they are bosch certified... but just last week sent them a email asking those question you ask. . they replace everything but computers. they said they go by a date/code on the computers when to replace them. . i asked about the heat cycles being a factor. and I didn't get a email back. so no not all do a complete rebuild. .

my truck has 552,000kms Over 330,000k on original vp-44. I bought a replacement 3 years ago and its still in the box.

I have somewhere just over 250,000 miles on my original IP... I'm not sure how that equates to km though.

That would be 400,000km.

You will not go wrong with one of the VP44's from Chip at Blue Chip Diesel. One to talk with him and you will be ordering your pump from him. We have one on my gals 01. 5 6spd and run a Edge Attitude with it and are very happy with the pumps performance. Not one issue at all with it now and its been on for a few years..... Andy
