How do y'all get so much mileage on your VP44's and I cant get 40k. I am fixing to get my 3rd!!!

Well we get at least six hours sleep, use beer in moderation, always adjust the rear view mirrow before taking off, and spend plenty money on accessories.
Mine went 208 K and sure would have done better if took action when lift pump pressure showed low.

100k tapped and 190k before it started acting up.it never died completely.try to keep it at 80 mph regularly.

mine had 180k on when i tapped the wire and was still going at it when i got rid of it at 277k just need to make sure itgets a good lube to it i guess cuz thats all i did

142k strong. Fuel lube every now and then, but good fuel pressure is a must. Dad has 135k and never checked fuel pressure. Ever.

Do you have a fuel pressure guage? If so than you most likely are getting poor remans or replacing them for the wrong reason.

180K and still kicking.

I have had my EDGE juice w/attitude(w/guages) ALMOST the life of this pump except for a time I took it off before going back to the dealer for the replacement VP44. Here is a brief sequence of events since I owned this truck:
1. Turbo & Lift pump (warranty) 2. Exhaust 3. Air filter 4. Lift pump (warranty) 5. Edge box 6. VP44 (warranty) 7. FASS pump 8. Boost elbow, and presently 9. VP44.

I have ran Powerservice additive nearly every fill-up.

A decent lift pump putting out >10psi along with a fuel pressure gauge would be the minimum. A lubricating fuel additive sure wouldn't hurt anything. I've been using 10% bio-diesel but as little as 2% would do the trick.
After that you can get rid of the banjo fittings, add larger fuel lines, better filtration, fuel coolers, VP44 cool air ducting and water-misting and on and on!!

The biggies, of course, are a good LP and gauge to monitor pressure.

Just luck of the draw. Mine went out at 94K. Some last incredibly long, some like your just give up right away.

396,000+ on original VP-44. I have 4" exhaust, Banks Hi-Ram and AFE intake and Geno's relocation kit. I just added Quad's XZT+ today so hoepfully I don't jink myself but needed the extra fuel mileage and decided to give it a try.

I think the single most important add on is a fuel pressure gauge. Dodge should have made it standard equipment with their crappy LP. I did a Geno's relocation kit for the campaign LPs which I have gone through 4 of them and now trying the Aeromotive AE11203 which never drops below 8 psi at WOT and have over 60K on that pump.

Oh yeah, I have been running WVO for the past 120,000+ miles with a FASS veggie pump.

So far so good!
