Ok so I just bought a 2003 2500 6 speed with 214k on it. The guy told me it just has a new vp44 put on it and new injectors, all stock.

Im debating on whether to put a chip on it or not, I dont want anything radical and dont want 5 bajillion horsepower. Just a little smoke and maybe some better mileage.

Any suggestions? Main thing is reliability!

Thanks

 

An 03 shouldnt have a vp. An 03 should have a cp3 pump.

 

Didnt the early 2003 trucks have a vp44?

 

Nope. In 03 Dodge switch to CP3 injection system. The VP44's were only used from 98.5 to 02.

 

Yea should only be a cp3 and I don't think or know why you would convert it to a VP truck so you might want to look under that hood and check that out

 

What if my build date is in 02 but its actually on 03? Maybe Im just drunk

 

If it has a VP44 then it is not an 03...unless some one wanted to increase the chance for a breakdown by swapping a reliable CP3 for a most unreliable VP44

Sorry can't think of a single scenario where that makes any kind of sense at all.

 

2003 models came out in 2002. I don't know why car companies do that. Usually after September, car companies start selling "next" year's model this year.

 

Oh geez people. Just do this already...

 

Amen short and 12valvin do you know what to look for to tell the difference?

 

Top im fixing to dump my CP3 for a VP44 feeding a P7100 that loops through a Honda pressure washer...

What you got against VP44's???

 

Nothing once they have been smoked for 12 hours over a Hickory fire and smothered in grilling sauce

 

Make sure you invite me. Ill bring the tater salad!
