Does anyone know if a VP44 can be tested for condition ?Thanks Steve

Not in any way that will really tell you anything of significance as to it's condition - takes pretty expensive test equipment and well trained techs to put a real test on them...

You can mail it off to Scheid Diesel in Terre Haute IN. They now have the equipment and people who are certified to test run them. They can also upgrade some components w/o a total rebuild. However it could cost around $150 to $300 for this service as its not as easy as spinning it and checking the output. It has to run through a calibration mode of sorts and it takes something like 1. 5 hours to complete the test. Thats what I was told last time I was in there.



They can also totally rebuild the pump. The cost is the same as buying a rebuilt unit.
