Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) VP44 injection pump . . . how many miles???

[Silver_Ram]

Some of you guys got lucky - I had one replaced @ 40,000 & 1 @ 80,000. Original lift pump was replaced @ 79,000.

My '99 has 213500 mi. on original vp. Lift pump replaced once @ 180000 mi. Runs as good as my 2005.

Model year 2000—died & replaced by DaimlerChrysler at 130,737.

I'll presume that "replaced by DaimlerChrysler" means that DC paid for it? As in under warranty?

Absolutely—all $2643. 67 of it! Gotta love that Cummins Diesel Engine Limited Warranty.

104,xxx, stock fuel system, stock pressure. unless my comp is on 5x5, even 4x5 wont draw below 7-9 lbs. though those numbers alone make me weary.



kids cant afford injection pumps... . :{

So have DC pay for it, like Thomas did on his 2000 with 130k miles (presuming your 2002 warranty booklet looks anything like Thomas's).



Though you've probably voided whatever warranty you had left with your "my comp" statement.

Having changed MANY I would say the avg is about 120-140k in normal service good lift pump etc.

Bob, Did you follow up on those pumps? What was the biggest cause of failure... mechanical or electrical?

[Bob4x4]

I've done hundreds of them,I don't track them any more. Probably more mechancal,by a fair margin.

[MDurr]

replaced mine today. truck still ran with the original vp 44 @ 135,975 miles. at first i was getting the 0121,0122 codes, dead pedal, poor mileage. . then all of a sudden the p0216 code showed up. funny thing was the 0121 and 0122 codes went away 2 weeks before the 0216 code showed up. oh well, iam almost glad it happened. from what ive read the updated pumps really hold up well.
