👍👍..i commend u ,for all knowledge on engine's and fuel systems, including this one...ive had alot of experience with the VP44 , perhaps not as much as u,but ive began to give up on them,hence deciding to 7100 swap one engine and pull the engine and replace with something older in another truck..ive decided not to purchase another VP44 fir my own vehicle's 🤣... because they kinda seem to be like a woman,you can do everything right and it'll still give up on you😂..but anyway, Thank you for all u do,and the video's 👍👍👊
@@ENGINESHOPJOE I should add,on one truck I had to swap or 3 ecm's ...they all failed in different ways and had different symptoms...so really wasn't VP44 to blame..in the end I decided the heat and vibration wasn't doing them any good and isolated it from side of the block...I think that may help for longevity for those...idk,but I'm just becoming weary of the electronics of the 44/ECM/PCM and decided that isn't gonna leave me stranded anymore ..But anyway 👍👍👊
You know they were planned. I will get them but it wont be until probably later this year. When I am involved in some issue i think would be helpful I turn to that while it is fresh in my mind and I am familiar with all the data. There will be a part two and three because I love that engine and fuel system. I am not saying it is the best and or only but in it's day it was a very good engine and fuel system. The injection pump got a bad rap. It had to be ALWAYS SUPPLIED pressurized fuel or it would start failing internally. Most of the time when the injection pump failed the lift pumps were running and purring away BUT not making any pressure. So the injection pump chewed itself apart from lack of lubrication while it tried to pull fuel from the tank.( it was never designed to do that)
turning the keyway in the gear down has almost zero chance it falls and is a much better way to remove the pump, the lift pump is a high failure item and wipes out way to many injection pumps with the cost of replacement being way overpriced by bosch, cummins did not do a very good job of training on how to fix the rotor drive breakage from lack of fuel siezing and breaking the drive that was easy to repair and depending on who was certified from dealer to dealer the parts even being illustrated for a person to buy repair parts, the last one i priced many years ago was 3200, the caps fuel system was a pile of crap also but easier for a mechanic to repair as cummins did a much better job of a repair process and the parts guys being able to see the parts. removing the front cover and installing a older one with a p pump or a rotary would be a much better engine option.
I keep the key up. It's just preference but I have seen them occasionally fall out. The engines can be found in some nightmare installations. For me it is not worth the chance of having to spend a day or two of labor/parts just to find the key so I don't trash a gear train. Cummins does not repair Bosch VP44s outside of the Recon program. There was no fuel system repair at the distributor branch level on this pump. The P pump is the longest life pump in my opinion, all things equal. The rotary is not worth the time or cost to put it on in my opinion. Assuming you're talking about a VE. They just don't have the life and struggle to make much over 190 horse. When you go mechanical you lose all the advantages of the electronics. For me that is cruise control, ecm driven fast idle warm up, PTO mode, engine protection to name just a few. It is easy for me to say this because I know how to take care of the engine and fuel system so I know what to keep an eye out for to keep out of trouble. That is not true for a lot of end users.

That is quite an analogy. I am not going to comment on it but I love it.

All in all,the VP44 is just too delicate for me to have faith in them anymore,but anyway 👍👍👊
Its all good. It like the chevy mopar ford thing.
@@ENGINESHOPJOE I've got all 3 of those around here,and I don't really care for any of em🤣🤣.. all 3 have there issues
Exactly!
