Diesel-Dan, I am new to this forum but this is an awesome thing you have done. I have only watched the first video but you did an awesome job and I look forward to watching the rest. Thanks alot for all of your effort you have put into this!!!

 

Good job Dan, you talk almost as fast as you work, , I'm envious, your a good man for doing this.

 

wow I didnt know that. maybe one of a FASS conversion would be better.
thanks again for the vids

 

Im sure ill get a FASS one posted sometime.......who knows.....ill try to think of something else......

 

video !!! all the dodge dealer ever gave me was an owners manual !!!!! great video and much needed.

 

Awesome set of videos!!! I joined this forum to get info on my IP and this is just what I needed. I have to change the pump soon and was wondering if I should tackle it on my own. I'm not afraid to work on anything, and now I will attempt to do this as well. I just wish diesels were as simple as Harley's.

 

Thanks Dan for downloading the video. With your help I just successfully change my VP. Your video really gave me confidence.
Oh, I almost forgot.....
How are you with Clutches?

 

i do ok.....BUT man...you had to say something! Now my clutch is marked! haha....its already hanging in there by a 166,000 mile thread!

Glad the Vid's helped ya!

 

have these been disabled? or am i doing something wrong?

 

I just tried the first one, and it worked for me.

 

I wish I would have found these vid's a couple of weeks ago when I replaced my IP.

After watching the vid's it looks like I did everything correct but I have a weird issue. After the replace, the truck is harder to start (sounds like it takes one round to kick over) and it sounds like my VP44 has a turbo on it. It really whines when I get on it (kind of in synch with the turbo). I've had a couple of people in the cab with me and they all confirm the noise is on the drivers side. Anyone ever heard of this or have any ideas?

 

I bet you have a boost leak....did you tighten up your boost boots? They will hum pretty loud if left loose....

 

You may be on to something since I can only produce the noise when generating boost (I need to get a boost gauge), but the noise is louder than a hum. It's more like a scream compared to the whistle of the turbo.

The only boot that I touched was the one attached to the air horn. I did tighten that one up good, but I'll double check. I'll also check the lower boot going to the intercooler since I was moving the pipe around a bit while doing the replace.
