seems my lp and vp went south. i found a new vp pump for 1050.00 and a lp for 165.00. am i getting ripped off. what are the procedures for installing the vp.

 

This ought to help. Good luck!

and that not a bad price, jetpilot can set you up on a rebuild one for $999 on the vp he's a pretty good ole boy

 

Just make sure the VP is new, the Reman's are a luck of the draw. Don't settle for anything less than a year warranty either.

 

That's a good price on both... assuming it includes S+H, Tax etc.
To best of my knowledge there are no more new VP-44's. They are all remanufactured.

Blue Chip sells both new and Remaned. You will of course have to pay dear for the new, but being new with the 1 year warranty, regardless of mods to me still makes it a good buy. It's a sure thing thing.

 

They're all remanufactured. To the best of my knowledge, even the one I had relplaced under warranty at the dealer.

 

I have a new one put on at a dealer and was given a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty on it. But my vp & lp with tax, labor, etc.. was @$1800.00

 

There must be some new ones out there somewhere, but they are no longer being mfg. by Bosch (03 and newer used different pumps).
I think you will find Blue Chips "New" is remanufactured with all new (and Fed Ex) parts.
All VP-44's being remfg now have the same electronics as the FED EX calls for, according to one Bosch approved service center..

Not regardless of mods! 1 yr warranty is NOT good if you tap the wire with a fueling box! That's what I was told.

Acording to The owner of Blue Chip the warranty is good even with the wire pierced, he sold me the pump cover to peirce the wire with. He has pumps that are listed as reman's and he also has different pumps that are sold as new, both available with the optional advanced electronics.

 

Good info...thanks. First I've heard of 1 yr being honored if wire is pierced. Wonder if that is Blue Chip honoring it. Bosch told me they won't?

All the better reman pumps have a 1 year warranty, they all will warrant the pump with the wire pierced!! none will warrant the electronics with the wire pierced!! Got it!! yes on pump, no on electronics. Guess what most failures on the remans are electronic!!
Get a pump from a reputable rebuilder, such as Industrial Injection! don't be afraid to ask who rebuilds the pump you are buying. Industrial Injection makes a very good High Performance VP-44. I recommend it!!

 

i just went thru this. my lp and vp went south also. i got a lp from pep boys for 180.00 and then i was able to drive it out to jetpilot for the hot rod vp44.. awsome guy will reccomend him to anyone and everyone.....

 

This is what jetplot told me also on the warranty, got one last week from him for a buddy.

 

guess it would be smart to install a fuel pressure gage in the cab. any good links.. aslo the jetpilot vp44 will it give me more power by just installing the pump or do i have to do other up-grades
