Thanks for this video, no one around here wanted to touch my Dodge Cummins, so I did. I'm no mechanic, but this video allowed for a flawless job. Thanks

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Glad we could help!

[@mikeray4578]

This post is a well deserved compliment to this video!! In short, a child could change a vp44 after watching this video!! I actually ordered their "pump puller " due to this video. I actually pulled my pump back out thinking all went in too easy! Yet, white paint was still perfect & added a pin dot of red dead center & ALL slipped back in perfect again! As far as bleeding the truck on first start, Since alone, I cracked all but #2. ( tight pre-horn) & hit starter counting to 6 seconds. ALL 5 injectors were wetish & tightened all BUT #1. still cracked. Hit starter & truck started!! SHUT DOWN asap! Tighted #1. & ALL start & run PERFECT!! ( Bought my 2001 D2500 6sp new & a Cummins engineer recommended a Fass 150 & did it. Now, decades later same Fass still pumping 16oz. in under 3 seconds & 15-16 psi. ) Anyway, GREAT VIDEO!! Watch this video & if you can change a starter... change your vp44 yourself!!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thanks for the great info AND super nice compliment!

[@riverguy988]

It seems the vp44 engine is way under rated given all the problems other trucks have. So what if you gotta change a pump out every 150,000 miles or whatever the norm is. I think these engines are one of the best ever made.

[@GregSmith-oo6vs]

I literally just got back from buying my first 24 valve,I had been working on a deal for this truck for over a year now,it’s a 98.5 Laramie slt,4wd,quad cab,all power,leather interior,black and a beast.I had it shipped from my home town in Maryland back to Florida where I live now,so thank you for your knowledge…I’m anxiously awaiting its arrival right now…oh yeah,it’s bone stock except for a muffler deleted and flex piped,that’s it! She’s got 282k on her and zero blow bye…thanks again

[@josephkronk5242]

Thank you Thoroughbred Diesel! I received a new vp44 from you promptly. And with this video guide I was able to install it with ease and save myself $1600 from the mechanic shop!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Great to hear! You're very welcome!

[@Buddy-s2c]

Thanks for the great instructions. Didn't rush through changing the pump on my 2000 Dodge,replacement went perfect. Thanks

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

You're welcome!

[@jerryoates5548]

Thanks for an excellent step by step video. I had several garages tell me over $800 labor to replace the VP44. After watching this video I was able to change it out myself and I am not a mechanic by no means. Again, thanks for an excellent video, would not have tried this repair without it. 99 Dodge Ram 2500, 5.9L 24 valve.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thanks! Glad it helped!

[@Ry_Guy]

The gear puller will also help the VP pop out of the gear case if you keep tightening it down a bit more past the gear popping off. This uses the gear against the front cover to help push the VP out. Works great.

[@davidmurray1630]

Great video and great timing on releasing it... really appreciate everything y'all do for the VP44 community! I just ordered a VP44 (2 year warranty) earlier this week from you and will be installing it on my Freightliner step van later this week. This is the best video I've seen on step by step instructions and all the things to watch out for. Thanks again!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Awesome! Thank you! Yeah we really needed to update our old one to put out a better one for the community.

[@shaunkennedy3916]

You are a god send. This has been a very informative video I should have watched this a week a go and bought the gear puller and the tappet gasket that you recommended. You explain information thoroughly no pun intended. Much appreciated sir. Time for me to get work.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Glad to help!

[@phendrix9476]

You guys helped me so much with the VP install that I’ve since started ordering my Parts from you. You really know how to communicate effectively with the DIY mechanic IMHO

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Glad we could help!

[@rotohead1]

On removing the nut and lock washer from the pump I stuff a small rag in, around and below the nut with a part of the rag hanging out the timing cover so that there is absolutely no possibility of the nut, washer or key falling into the case. Just a small, simple step to prevent a straightforward pump swap from turning into a nightmare.

[@MrSrtman18]

So it keyway is not at the 12 oclock position, how do you get it there?

[@DewaneCasey]

Yeah what he asked

[@devemch7851]

GREAT VIDEO. I have installed a few 7100 pumps and never had issues. I installed a VP44 on a tappet cover gasket job. We could not get the engine to start for beans. No codes in the box. Disconnected pump and pulled the standard 1682 something code... no ECM com to pump. Lift pump is a rapter pump that appears in good shape.

[@97neon2dr]

Somebody get this guy a headlight! Thx for the video I look forward to getting your vp44

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Give us a call 859-737-4966.

[@richardzicarelli3193]

Thank you for this video. We used it today to install our new VP-44, Cam sensor, APPS, and heater grid gaskets. Bought all parts from you guys. Install took us about 6 hours, but we are not mechanics. All went well.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

That is awesome! Glad you got it done though. Driveway mechanics FTW.

[@randumbthoughts601]

Thank you man! You walked me through on changing our VP44 🙏

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Glad I could help!

[@ToddKing]

On mine I put studs in the two air horn bolt holes closest to the VC. That eliminates jacking around trying to get the gaskets, heater and air horn all lined up to get the bolts started.

[@johnsonr81]

Best VP44 install video I've seen yet. I've been putting off replacing mine for too long, and my truck has just been sitting. After watching this, I'm ready to tackle it and replace the lift pump while I'm at it. Thank you!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thank you and good luck!

[@kx125rcr21]

Just got my pump from you guys today, but the pulley remover is a couple of days behind it. This video looks awesome 👌. I'm glad you guys sent me a link in my email. Thank you. Hopefully it goes this easy next weekend!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

You're welcome! Hope the install went well.

[@bobevans6590]

Now that’s a in depth video! Like to see real video struggle on someone other then me! Thanks Wade!

[@vanessamendez2997]

You guys are the best! The end of this video was the best info i could find for priming the truck! Thank you!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

You're welcome. Glad it helped!

[@larrysmith9419]

Awesome video gives you step by step instructions. Will be ordering from them and installing on my sons 01 ram 2500 cummins

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thanks! Just give us a call 859-737-4966.

[@WilleJamesHuff]

That part of don’t get crazy and be cool when popping the pump out I can only imagine the damaged cores you guys have seen come in from that!

[@d41more]

This video saved me tons of headaches. Thanks for making it. I have an 2002 dodge and due to a vp44 failure, purchased your Combo kit which includes the VP44, a FASS fuel Pump and the 3 position Edge tuner. I later purchased the G&R fuel Sump after watching your video on that. It seems to me that there are a few parts missing from this story. What is the cleanest way to remove the stock fuel filter . What are the things to watch for? How does the return line and that 3 way fitting fit with the FASS fuel pump system?

[@dixiechippers]

Great video! I've never heard anyone describe wrench sizes as 10 metric, 18 metric, etc. Keeps throwing me off, lol. Thanks

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thank you!

[@porkbbq]

Good video Wade as usual! But you forgot to tell everybody that the hard part is leaning over into that damn engine bay! I’ve changed a few Vp44’s and it’s not that bad. I really like the 24v vp trucks! Mines. 2001 3500 dually 6 speed and it’s in really great condition! I’ll have it for a few more years as it is very reliable now with the fast pump and new injectors, and new injection pump.

[@renecintronjr.2262]

Thank you so much. What a great video. I'm definitely doing this job myself. I'm almost done with it. Being a Machinist, I easily made my own puller.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

You can do it!

[@Raymondfrimpong-i7g]

Thanks

[@sirlayo]

[@jamesmilos9909]

Outstanding video! I’m not there yet but know where to turn for a pump as well as instruction when/if the time come! Thanks very much for doing these!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Glad to help! You're welcome!

[@wg4405]

Change the tappet cover gasket or cover if you have lots of miles on the truck . Mine just started leaking at 220, 000 . I had to take the other three injector lines off , not that big of deal . I could not get the tappet cover off without taking them off. I'm going back with a aluminum cover . You will have to take that lifting eye bracket off to loosen number 6 injector line . I did the line with a long wrench but a shorty wrench will work better but long wrench wasn't a problem .

[@domcummins4148]

Very informative video!! Thanks 👍

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

[@gofast4127]

Awesome and very detailed video, thanks…

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

[@stevescoville8465]

Fantastic video thank you. I have a 98 24 valve with an aftermarket fuel pressure gauge, what should the fuel pressure be?

[@extrememftickler7628]

Do you think there’s an issue leaving the fuel filter housing off after doing a FASS system? I wouldn’t think there would be , but I’ve never seen anyone leave them off.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

No issue. Cleans up the engine bay.

[@davidlopez-1775]

Best video ever made🕺🥰🥰😘🥰😍

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thank you!

[@geovannyreyes187]

I have a question about the VP44 gear, when I was taking my VP44 off, I had the key way slightly to the right( about 1/3 of the way) from TDC, when took VP44 out the gear just drop down, is there a problem with that? Will it be fine if I install my new VP44 or will it have some timing issue even if I align it like you specified in the video? I will appreciate your help! And thank you in advance

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Yes, not problem. Just use the old pump position to line up the new pump. And the gear can drop without hurting anything, thankfully it cannot jump time with the gear cover on.

[@GabeKiel]

I’m struggling to get the motor to not turn over when trying to loosen the nut and lock wash to the pump

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

If you have to bar the engine, you can purchase a barring tool, or put something on the harmonic balancer bolt and have someone hold that while you loosen the VP nut. I always just gave the wrench a good smack with my hand and that loosened it up.

[@phillipsverdin4070]

Does the gear just sit in place when you take the vp44 pump out

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Yes, with the cover on it cannot jump timing.

[@MrDogmeat1]

To find TDC with pump gear. I would place keyway at 12 o'clock position and if keyway is at 6 o'clock position would that be the 180 degrees ? I ask this for wanting to do check my valves. Thanks in advance

[@cedricjardouin598]

If the pump was installed wrong how do you time/pin the motor to know if your injection pump time wrong?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

VP’s are key timed, so if you missed the keyway then it will be out of time.

[@eldenwest825]

i got more info watching the videos thanks 😊

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

You're welcome!

[@nonagreeable]

So how do you rotate it to 12 o'clock if it isn't already

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

I use the alternator nut.

[@mohavegreen8137]

When will you do a video on replacing the steering gear box on a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500?

[@nickkirkland9118]

What would cause my pump gear to run on top of my keyway? I put a new pump on and it ran rough. Took it off and sent it back and they told me my pump gear rode on top of the keyway and damaged the keyway. Ant advise I appreciate it

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

We usually find that the keyway was missed on installation, not by actually having the gear turn independently of the pump shaft. That could happen, however it would have to start with a missed keyway.

[@brandoncage8135]

Hey I got a question for u I have a 2001 dodge cummins 5.9l and I have a leak down issue with my truck I have to Crack 2 injector lines for it to be able to start what could it be.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

If you park your truck nose up or downhill, does the problem go away? If so, its most definitely a leakdown issue. Could be anywhere really, but most of the times it usually is the long return line coming from the VP pump back to the 3 way T at the back of the motor.

[@ToddKing]

Unless it's been done very recently I'd want to change the fuel filter while the canister is out in my hand.

[@andrewregalado1994]

I own the 2500 dodge diesel , it stopped , doesn’t start I’m working on it ,where can I get the kit for My VP44? And I’m installing a lift pump too but it doesn’t have have the wires to connect it . Could you give any ideas how to do it?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

It will depend on your lift pump you are installing. If you aren’t seeing the connection at the ECM, suspect that the truck has a pump in the tank.

[@facelesspsycho8252]

I have a 2002 f650 eith the 5.9 where do hook the fuel pressure gage up to any ides thsnks.

[@bolle8140]

I need your help... today i do my VP44 swap but i think i did a mistake. After i pull the old VP Out and before install the new one i crank the engine over to have the gear on the 12 oclock Position.. it was round about 160 degrees... is that a problem?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Make sure when you reinstall, that the keyway in the gear is up at the 12 oclock position.

[@jimdubejr8455]

What are some symptoms of vp44 on a 2001 5.9?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Codes, lack of power, white or blue smoke, and no start to name a few.

[@Legacy690]

So I'm having a bit of trouble getting the vp44 to slide in straight. I bought the updated bracket for the vp44 because mine was broken now the bracket rubs the tappet cover and won't go into the pump gear straight. What's the deal?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Remove the bracket for now then install after the vp44 is installed. Just don’t tighten up all bolts till you have them and the 4 nuts on the cover in place.

[@Legacy690]

The issue was the tappet cover noise panel was causing clearance issues for the updated bracket, I ended up cutting a section the size of the bracket out of the panel, and it finally went in.

[@danielstevens3372]

How often should we change the blow bye filter?

[@chrisk4177]

I’m trying to take my pump out and it’s stuck I’ve never had this happen before on any other vp44 pump I did. I using the puller and I have the bolts so tight that nothing is happing. And I have all the bolts off I got it to a point the vp pump wiggles and that’s about it any other ideas

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

I've had that happen. I switched over to a steering wheel puller with a ram in the middle that contacts the drive shaft. I set pressure on it then walked away. I had one take half a day to break lose one time. Make sure the bottom bolts are off the bracket. Be patient.

[@chrisk4177]

@@thoroughbreddieselI used that and I had it so tight and left it over night and then tried again the next day and I ended up pulling the bolts right out of the gear. And another guy told me someone could have wedge the key way if they were not careful. I’m guna pulling the timing cover off and replace the gear I think that will be my Easiest solution I believe

[@phendrix9476]

Does the 2yr pump have a new computer on top?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

It does. All of our 2 year pumps come with a brand new PSG.

[@meldeer6253]

WoW i dont want to tell any one there job but man this is a job an a half i would just remove all 6 lines iv had them off when i replaced the injectors and im older than dirt so id just take them off

[@austinleek1166]

ive started my truck like 30 times and no fuel will come out of the 3rd line 1st and 2nd have fuel and are bleed though

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

If this is on a new VP install, go back and check you lift pump pressure and scan for codes.

[@claytonhornsby6258]

Man...Great video but, I'd go ahead and remove all the injector lines and the return line to make reinstalling the pump easier and making the line of the key to the gear groove less Iffy.......

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Not a bad idea.

[@DewaneCasey]

What size wrench is the lines

[@brandontestawich7353]

So with my key at tdc does it stay in time?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

When the key engages the keyway correctly, then the pump is in time to the engine, yes. We put the keyway to TDC just to make sure the keyway doesn’t drop on pump removal.

[@Dmowery5036]

When you do this, is it possible for it to be 180 degrees out?

If you can make that pressure fall “on command” then just verify with a manual gauge. If the pressure is truly dropping, then look for a restriction or possibly a failing lift pump.
