Truck down in Madison Ga. Fuel leaking from lift pump, no fuel to injectors. Is there a place in the area i can get serviced?
Local s do not know how to adjust timing if vp44 is gone

 

VP44 timing is set by the computer, no manual adjustments.
Is the leak AT the pump, or just one of the fittings?

 

Cummins South has a location just South of Atlanta. The number there is 404-763-0151 during regular business hours weekdays. They have a 24 hour number for emergency service but that's gonna be expensive. Probably cheaper to wait for Monday and stay in a 4 star hotel tonight.

 

My son is there with a guy who works for me that is pretty mecanically inclined. He said the leak did not appear to be from a fitting or line.
Lift pump that is on it hasn't got 5,000 miles on it and was installed at our local cummins repair center.
Whats the likleyhood that it will be just the lift pump and not the injector pump? he is at a TA center right now and they can install a lift pump tommorrow, but if that doesn't do it they can't do the injector pump.

 

personal expeirence with this facility ?

 

Nope, I just looked up the nearest Cummins distributor to your location. Figured a Cummins shop would be more likely to have a comeptent tech than a Dodge dealer.

 

I think 2003 is in those new years that Cummins shops won't work on any more.

 

It is my 01 than is down. these are the codes he brought up

Shopping for vp 44 and lift pump to next day to him. Any way to determine witch pump numbers i need for an 01 or are there different ones too choose from ?

 

Herb do you have a FP guage?

Hate to say it but sounds like the VP......

It sucks when you have vehcile problems when you are away from home. I feel for ya.

 

Actually my son is doing this delivery so he is the one who is stranded. Yes i have gauges and fuel pressure was running 12-15 lbs. (just had a lift pump put on in Oct.)
Talked to Bob Wagner and he steered me to Jeff Garmon Diesel in Ga.
No luck getting hold of him yet but will keep trying.

 

Herb, I gave david your phone number too. David should be in touch

 

Thanks got hold of Jeff and he said he could have me going tommorrow (1800 plus towing).
Sure wish i owned a vp44 factory

 

Herb, that ought to be the next business you start then eventually you would get all of our business! You would get mine probably sooner than later, I just replaced my 4 Lift Pump this weekend. It had been fluctuating for about 2 months now and finally died Friday.
