2 years ago, the fuel station forgot to put the cap on their tank in the middle of winter, and I was one of 2 that got 20 gallons of water in the tank, which froze, and ruined the injection pump, among other things. A dodge dealer replaced it, and they have since gone out of business. This was only 30,000 miles ago. I since have put in a tank of my own, run clean fuel, treated with Stanadyne. I now have the 0216 code on the 1998, and have had the dead pedal a few times now. I am not happy, but I need advice on the best option for the longest lasting pumps out there. I only have the VA and 275 injectors, so that should not have hurt it. I have done some reading on the HRVP44, but don't know all the advantages/disadvantages of it, and what places sell pumps that have the best electronics in them? I don't want to replace this again in 30000 miles. Thank you

 

Sucks, the dealer installs are only warrantied for 12 months/12K miles.

All places that sell pumps are going to have the latest/greatest rebuilds (as long as they have fresh stock & sell some pumps).
If you do a search you'll see where people have been getting them lately.

 

Ya all of the big companys are up to date with them. Industrial Injection, Sheids Piers Blue chip Pwd. Do a search or call one of them and have a chat with them. They will take care of you. Ya it will cost a few buck but they will last as long as you treat them right. And dont have the little black cloud over your head.

 

Thanks guys. I forgot to mention, fp has been min of 10 psi, and max of 15 since the IP was new, so that shouldn't have caused it either. So regardless of whether I get the HR pump or not, any new rebuild should have the best electronics? And are there any other advantages to the HR, besides the extra HP?

 

industrial injection!!!

 

Yes, any Bosch certified rebuild should have the newest updates. No other advantages with the HR pumps other than HP.

 

Thanks guys, I guess I still haven't decided yet. I would like to do business with my local Bosch dealer, and if I get the regular pump, that is what I will do, but the extra power from the HR pump sounds nice, just not sure it is worth the extra $600.

 

The HRVP has its place and is the perfect setup for some but not all. If we can answer any questions on the HRVP vs. standard VP please feel free to phone.

Thanks for all the help guys. I just called II, and they said to stay away from the HR pump for my towing and PTO application because of the lope. I will buy a regular one from the local dealer that I like. Thanks again
