Something to add: The 24V VP44 cummins was also used in FedEx and UPS trucks. The failure rate was way high. So Bosch built them an upgraded VP44. Later VP44 revisions improved on this design. Most reman VP44s you buy today are based on the upgraded versions, and should last much longer than the stock pump on these trucks.

99% of the issue was the lift pump. No other way to say that.

Disagree. Nothing wrong with VP44, just don't run it out of fuel. Put in a quality lift pump, an Edge +150 HP & 380 lb-ft tuner, KDP, and an adequate torque converter. Solid machine.

[@jameswasilchen7903]

I had a '97 250 dodge diesel that suffered a "KDP" event. I had paid for an extended warranty from Dodge. They repaired the truck with some resistance. It took weeks. The event destroyed the gear housing case, and the new one had a built-in tab which covered that dowel pin. I used to be hooked up to the Dodge diesel community of the time. Dodge owners would meet at some out-of-the-way locations to conduct KDP "parties" to install tabs to cover the dowel pins. Nevada comes to mind.

[@G5Hohn]

You can keep a VP44 alive. I had 10 years + on mine when I sold my truck a few years ago. A couple help things I did: Larger flow, lower pop pressure injectors. This limits the peak injection pressure and thus the stress on the pump plungers and cam ring inside the pump. Second, a newer VP44 with the upgraded electronics package (the FPCM that Bosch was forced to upgrade after all the P0216 timing code faults on the VP44s). I think 04 is when they hit the parts channel. Finally, replumb the supply side so you have reasonable fuel pressure at the VP44 inlet at all times. I plumbed mine with -08 and custom fittings, although I'm pretty sure a Weber Carb inlet fitting (-06) is also M12x1.5 DIN straight thread metric. Use the banjo washers and it won't leak. -06 is plenty big. You don't need huge pressure, just keep it over 5psi or so at all times. (the VP44 has its own internal feed, and you can't force it to flow more by increasing supply pressure). My *original* lift pump was still going strong when I sold the truck (evidence of the lower vibration) even though the pumps are crap. Usually what happens is that vibration causes the wires inside the pump to fail where they insert into the brushes. Lots of good aftermarket pumps out there will solve your problem. Mounting an electric pump of such low robustness to a high-vibration engine is a recipe for failure, and fail they did. But Chrysler was too cheap to pay for a proper pump, so Cummins honored their request to use the cheap one. (note the 12V engines have the cam-drive pump and you almost never hear of them failing).

[@dartgts383]

The bigger problem with the chosen carter pump was it's location more than anything, at one point Chrysler was replacing them with a tank mounted in the tank . Electric fuel pumps are designed to push the fuel so they should be mounted as close to the fuel pickup point as possible. on a standard wheelbase truck the pump is pulling fuel close to 9 ft from the bottom of the pickup tube in the thank. I actually drove my truck to the gas station which was about 3 miles from my house with the lift pump wiring disconnected after doing some work on it , I think I was installing my modified for more flow banjo bolts. I think went thru 3 pumps , the stock one , a Carter and then the last one which I mounted on the frame back at the tank ...

[@G5Hohn]

@@dartgts383 vibration does kill the factory pumps. Specifically, the brush wires where they enter the brush. That’s why relocating often helps, it has nothing to do with push vs pull. Yes pushing is better, but that’s not why the pumps died. In tank is where they mount them all now because they stay cool and have minimal vibration

[@driver4818]

[@terrellstandefer6646]

I'm sure you have already figured this out. There is no pressure setting on the pump, it will build pressure until the Injector the relief valve pops/opens. You will have to slightly advance timing to run a higher pressure injector. I run around 4k psi 12v injectors and roughly 5 degrees more timing did this to help clean up some smoke.

[@tatehalpin5686]

For shits and giggles, get a timing light and see what the difference is in injection timing from the 260 bar to 300 bar injectors. I always ran 300 bar injectors in my p-pump 24v, never an issue with that.

[@terrellstandefer6646]

@@tatehalpin5686 Hahaha! I don't know if you're trying to make a joke or not but I thought the timing light idea was funny! The engine I was talking about is a 12 valve that might be over fueling for a single turbo. So I shimned the injectors to the 4k psi I wanted and advanced timing to clean it up, it's something I've learned from tweaking fuel systems for over 20years. But I'll tie on to that plug wire and get a reading for you if you want, hahaha!

[@tatehalpin5686]

@@terrellstandefer6646 Blue Point sells a reasonably priced (relatively) pulse-adapter. Has a piezo-electric sensor that clamps onto your injection line, and will produce current in a cable that is off the side of the tool. You hook your timing light pickup on that cable, and it triggers the light just like a spark plug wire. You can use this to see your injection timing. Its a great tool for setting timing and you don't have a base reference, like a timing chart for a P7100. Just need a TDC mark on your damper and a pointer. I've had mine for 10 years now.

I knew a guy that coated the entire bottom of his van with a primer that was zinc-chromate pigment with an epoxy base. He then painted over that with an epoxy base coat. Last I saw it was nearly rust free and over 10 years old, he still drove it in the winter. I don't know how expensive it is, but maybe it would be worthwhile to try on a little piece of sheet metal to see how well it holds up to the winter up north there. I too am looking for a way to keep the rust off a vehicle as long as possible.

Ziebart's is a good method to use, I've seen a number of these last a very long time, they are very thorough. Zinc chromate primer is also good, but you have to be pretty thorough in it's application. Some zinc chromate products need to be applied with care, because it is considered hazardous. One thing that Ziebarts doesn't protect is any aluminum engine parts or engine blocks, if you want that protected you have to seal the aluminum separately. The zinc chromate primer doesn't go inside the panels like Ziebarts does, that is why it has less protection overall than Ziebarts. Ziebarts also hits things like suspension bolts and body mounting points.

Bolt an anode to your frame!

[@gunshipproduct2]

@@donquihote6023 Doesn't that need to immersed in an electrolytic solution to work?

[@donquihote6023]

@@gunshipproduct2 Good question. The contact between the dissimilar metals cause and electron flow. At that point, the zinc becomes an Anode and the zinc becomes the sacrificial metal. Moisture, salt, other materials that encourage oxidation speed up the process! That is why they are put all over ships and boats. Enjoy!

Interesting video. On my 1999 Dodge Ram I heard about the fueling issues and the first thing I did was put gauges in the truck, trans temp, EGT's and fuel pressure. That fuel pressure gauge caught 3 different Carter fuel pumps going out. At 125K my VP44 broke and left me stranded on the highway, a long tow home. I had read about remanufactured VP44's on the Internet and settled for a remanufactured pump by Blue Chip Diesel, particularly the Special X pump. I also installed a new Fass drp fuel pump on the frame near the fuel tank. I think I've helped to create a more reliable vehicle. My best upgrade has been a Goerend component 47re trans rebuild. Much better mileage with that tansmission, and I mean it was amazing.

Their are many, many different versions of the "p" pump. I belive the 8.3 is classifies a a p3000 but these pumps were used by just about every engine manufacturer from mercedes to international, also called "m" and n" pumps. Farmers and pullers are about the two largest scources of p pump info across the board for all manufacturers. This would be an absolutly exellent topic for a video, you can read through farming and pulling threads till your eyes bleed and the information is all over the map. You guys should see if Industrial Injection is interested in a collab, that would be a great partnership. Those guys work on absolutly everything, from ancient tractors, to pulling monsters, i doubt if theirs anybody out their with more info on these pumps than them.

Awsome, this was posted just in time as i'm about to look a a 24v truck

Audi, VW and so on had that VP44 in the 2.5 Tdi V6 2499cc Diesel. Good engine except that pump. Same problems there. Funny to see the same injection technic in a much bigger engine. Great Video, greetings from Germany!

[@Menda_Lerenda]

The 320d e46 and the opels 2.0 & 2.2 dti had the same pump
