Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) vp the same

[TDeltonto]

i can get a vp from a 2000 dodge but is it the same pump as in my 2002HO the 2000 is not an HO

 

[aircop]

No the 2000 is a SO pump. But im pretty sure it will work in your truck.

A SO pump will fit & run on a HO truck but it won't run right.

how do you mean "it wont run right"? just trying to understand... heard of people doing it before but never heard the outcomes. .

 

[rkressg]

It will run, but the performance might not be the same. If I remember correctly, the HO pump has smaller flow internals, but different software on the internal controller. The SO pump has higher flow internals, but again a less tuned internal controller.

The pumps will work on either truck, but you might have a slightly lower performance with the SO pump. Functionally, it should work fine (assuming that there is nothing wrong with the replacement pump).

ok think i got it... i was just wondering because im getting prepared to have to replace mine. . have 152000 miles with the stock vp. .

Get a replacement from Industrial Injection in Salt Lake City. They make the Hot Rod and other dependable pumps.

Just my $0. 02

 

[TDeltonto]

so the only difference will be a little less hp or ???

 

[rkressg]

It should only be lower HP, although it might idle rough

SO pump should work fine on HO truck, just need a fuel box to bring out the extra HP. SO truck can't run a HO VP.
