has anyone got a new vp installed and then your truck starts acting up again either right away or shortly there after?

just curious b/c i've been trying to hunt down this rough idle and misfire problem for awhile now and i've talked to several folks and they all think i got a bad vp, i'm gonna find out cause i'm goin to where i bought it tomorrow to see what they have to say. i haven't even had this pump on a month yet!

 

It's a possibility with these pumps.

 

Yes, I got 2 from Cummins. 1 went bad in about 1 month the other about 3 months.
I had the Cummins dealer install the pump. When it went bad the last time they tried to blame it on everything but the pump. I had to fight with them to get the pump replaced , I had to tell them to replace what they wanted to but if it didn't fix it I wouldn't pay for it.

Hope this helps. Rodney

 

that's kinda what i figured tyler, its unfortunate huh?

 

that's a bad deal bigrod, i hope i don't have that kinda luck. i've been doing the same thing too, trying to blame it on everything but the pump. and i talked to the place where i got it and they said it sounds like an injector problem. which is a possibility i suppose, but i know these injectors don't normally have a problem right?

 

Yup. I hate these blasted pumps but oh well. I guess I'm lucky I've had such good luck with mine. 133k and it's been tapped for 110k. Only reason I know it's dying is 3 dynos in a row I've dropped power and it's hard to start after sitting for a while or when it's hot.

 

UH OH, looks like that'll be the next thing on your "to do" list huh?

 

Nah. It's on my already done list. I'm sending the check off tomorrow. I do a 500 mile commute every week to class so I need this thing to be very dependable.

 

are you just getting an SO pump not the hrvp are ya? what'd that cost ya?

 

They kept trying to say my ECM was bad. I told them to chack it, they said there is no way to check a ecm. I had to explain to them that there is a way to check it with a volt meter. About a 1 1/2 hours later they desided that the ecm was good. Then it was a wiring harness problem. About a hour later they were replacing the VP again.

All I can say is that I will never buy a VP from Cummins again.

oh that's for sure, i won't buy from them or a dealership unless i HAVE too!

i hope i don't have to fight with this place tomorrow, they were so nice to me with great customer service, i hope they are that way all the way through this process. wish me luck

 

I hope everything goes good for you tomorrow.

How do you like the Volant Intake? Did it drop the EGT nad how much?
