This topic has been addressed before. The pump he is talking about is not the VP44, I think it's a P-pump. Do a search and there's a thread where a Napa employee clarifies.

CZECH!!! the BLACK BEAUTY lives!! Comeback in a box!!

....If I would have seen a "reman in CZ" on the pump I did under warranty on my truck I would have kept ordering them until I got one that wasn't. Just my opinion. Not saying they are any worse than most, but I did have a few interesting probs with them. At least three I replaced under Mopar warranty (failed before the 12/12) and one I did went nine miles and seized internally.

I stand corrected!

As JBody stated, you might want to do some research on that particular pump. I've heard the "black beauty" Czech pumps have had issues.

he said there is no picture but there are 2 injection pumps available in there catalog under Dodge.

712.42 stock
400.00 core

61-6010-bosch-czech
94-02-manual
709.25 stock
414.00 core

the catalog name was:

notice that one says 94-02 manual

and the other says 98-02 auto

I just called my uncle up at NAPA he's the store mgr.

he looked in the same book and called to verify. the guy on the other end said they were both mech pumps, that it was a misprint in the catalog ...BUT that they were planning on getting the vp within the next year.
