MWFI or Pensacola or Diesel Care?

Do all of these companys sell the most current updated VP44?

Do all the companys rebuild the pumps or buy them from an outside source?

Do they all use New alloy housings?

 

priced a new pump just to see how much, a little less than $1500.

A rebuild kit cost less than $ 50.00

Testing equipment around $ 100000.00

 

What help is that?? Lets make this a good thread

 

All pump shops rebuild to the Bosch specs. Not doing so can cost them the rights to rebuild the pumps at all.

With that in mind most suggest getting the cheapest pump from an authorised rebuilder. I would make that as well.

 

MWFI seems to get a lot of votes for good price and quality from what I've read here. No experience, just an observation after being here and reading a lot.

 

Just dropped $1100 here http://www.mwfi.com/ for the pump and a case of fuel additive. Free shipping and no core charge if returned with in 30 days in prepaid package. Ill let you know how things go.

Well after racing a duramax on to the freeway last night I realized how slow my dodge is so today I ordered a VP44 from mwfi, hopefully I'll get it by friday and have it installed on sunday. What other parts should I order for the install? I think i read some where about getting a Cam sensor, any gaskets or special tools (pullers) I need for the install?

 

I bought one from Pensacola diesel for $950 shipped, no core charge for 30 days as well. Works just fine so far.

Found the puller info = puller with 2 8 x .125 50 mm bolts.

 

Ordered Cam Sensor from dealer for $80, Found some good info http://www.nwbombers.com/membersites/kent/vp44.html . Looks like an easy install, any other info I mite want to know?

 

Too bad you went through the dealer for the cam sensor, Cummins sells them for around $40. I recently replaced my cam sensor, you'll be thankful you're replacing it while you have the pump off.

 

For future reference where would some one buy genuine Cummins parts and not aftermarket stuff? I looked on www.cummins.com but I didn't get any where.

 

Go to any Cummins service center and give them your ESN (engine serial number). Located on the side of the timing case in front of the injection pump. They sell almost everything engine related at about half of what the dealer charges.

I don't know what part of the country you're in, but you can use their locater to find a shop near you.

thats a very interesting read. 400 pumps and less then 1% failure in 3 years....

but what its not clear on is that 1% failure that werent part of the 3 excluding scenarios that void the warranty? (all 3 of which is why the IP fails in the first place)
