Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Poll - when did your vp44 fail

[RKohn]

haven't seen any new pumps, would hate to think of the price since rebuilts went from $975 - $1992, not counting those so-called "hp" pumps. the most current revision for the ETC is supposed to be the -027 and -028 for the ETH. not sure when that spec came out, but that's what nombers to look for.



for reliability, the upgrade i'd like to see is a complete kit to revert to a p7100 pump.

 

[damon]

will those #'s - the 027 or 028 be stamped on the outside of the pump ?



I'm dropping the truck off in the morning to get the pump replaced, and I think I'll ask to see the part before installation if the # is visible.

58k on the nose. Truck ran like a raped ape up til the P0216 hit. Hot Rod pump goes in later this week.

Not yet failed - 153k

Mine hasn't failed so far and no codes. Finally replaced LP with FASS. No timing or fueling mods... yet.
