Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) VP44 Dead ! Yippie :(

[DieselMinded]

Today ..... It happened ... P0216



Was returning home with my new fender flairs and truck lost power ..... then got it back and threw the CEL ,,, Limped it the whole 1/4 mile home and scanned it



Then made a few phone calls for moral Support



Then Limped it to ****** and set down with a cigar across the table from him and started talking bidness



Was Caught between



a 028-ip HR Vp44 and the ADD and keeping the bosios



and



a 027 Stock VP44 and the ADD and some "Special" Custom Injectors ... So special he wont even tell me anything but . . Custom Made 7 Hole 150-160 HP 380 CC Injectors



The HR Pump senerio is More $$$ and Less Performance



So Im going with the Injectors,027,ADD



This set up is suppose to smoke my Comp 5x5 , Bosios Set Up , and the HR Pump Senerio

I understand that maliciously smoking innocent Jeep drivers frequently causes premature VP-44 failures, along with other nasty events - you ever done anything like that?



















(inside joke... ) :-laf :-laf

I feel for ya DM! Bet hey look at the bright side, it's not like you dropped a valve seat into the cylinder!



It seems like there is a rash of VP deaths every spring. I wonder if the temp swing is causing the circuit boards to crack?

Bosio

I havevbeen considering the Bosio as an upgrade and was wondering what your impressions are.



TIA

 

[DieselMinded]

The Bosios Dont add much more Smoke or Power than stock They are an upgrade and a way Better route than the RV's (Quallity) but your best bet to to save up and get a complete injector thats proven
