Factory VP44 ?

First I'd like to say hello to all, and I am from UT. Know for the question, does the yellow void sticker on the vp mean it's an original vp in the truck? I bought the truck used from a dealer with 137,000 miles on it, so I don't know the history. Thanks

My original VP44 had the "void" stick on it.

Had the VP44 replaced at the Dealership and they didn't put the "void" sticker back on, or a new "void" sticker.

I'd guess yours the original, or it was replaced at a different Dealership than mine was, it's not unheard of for originals to go past 100K miles.

Dealership you bought it from, or any Dealership, can run the VIN and it'll report if the VP44 has been replaced at any Dealership.

Jerry,

Did you buy your truck new? I would think that a "void" sticker would mean that a previous owner tampered with the solenoid wire and it was discovered by a dealership.

No, it's a "void if removed" sticker they put on that leaves a trace if removed.
They put it on the data connection at the VP44, so if you remove it to plug in a box, they can tell you removed it.
They started putting them on around 2000-2001 or thereabouts.

I bought mine brand spankin' new with 4 miles on the odo, and the sticker was there.

For those who may not know, here is a picture of the ECM connection with the VOID sticker. VP44 has one too.

Thanks for all the info. Next time I'm at the dealer I'll run the vin for service history, if it's free.

That's an awful strange place to keep a pee bottle.
