Finally got to my parents house today to pick up my new VP pump. I got it from Gus at Farmboys Diesel. Hes a very nice guy to work with in my opinion. I was pretty tight on money, and he did his best to work with me on the price and didn't even charge me the core charge as long as I get it back to him within 30 days. Supposedly this thing is very similar to one of Bluechip's pumps...it has all the latest updates, everything in the pump is brand new and the module is the updated one (not sure if thats the FedEx on or not). Told him I'd like to put an SO pump on my HO truck, and he said hed gladly take my old HO as a core. Hopefully I'll get it on next weekend. Gonna install the gauges this weekend and run it all week just to make sure my fuel pressure is what it should be before I put the new pump on. Just to double check that I got the pump I wanted though, the part # ends in 27X, that is the SO isn't it?

 

The part numbers were nowhere close to 27 (I think mine ended in 15). But, if you have the latest computer and a new housing, probably the same rebuilder that blue chip uses. I have to say, my truck runs so much better then it did and is giving me about 3mpg better at a minimum.

 

wow, 3mpg more?! I'm hoping mine improves somewhat with the new pump, but I doubt I'll be that lucky.

 

ALL pumps from a certified Bosch rebuiler are done the exact same way..... The rest is marketing hype! The -027 pump is a SO pump, the -028 pump is a HO pump. The -015 pumps are the early model pumps found on 98 and some 99 trucks.
