My trucks white smoking and shaking running really rough. The tac is dropping to 0 going down the road then the white smoke comes ... Does the injection pump have anything to do with the tac?? It just started today when i went through a ditch with water in it before it rained i tore the inner fender off so it got wet under there.. Help someone

 

yes it could be ur lift pump or pump.....the pump on the 24 valvers unfortunately is a common failure

im hoping its not the case for u though but brace urself

 

Theres a guy thats got a whole cummins with 92k on it that he wants 1500 for it.. Its complete with pump turbo everything.. I just dont need the motor.. so if anyone needs the rest of the motor i can get it and i'll buy the pump ...

 

I would suspect you seized the injection pump and damaged it when you hit the water. Any cool water on a hot injection pump is fatal.

Also, do not look at a used engine with a VP44 as your salvation. You will pay less for a good rebuilt VP44 from one of the high performance shops than the price of that used engine, and you will then know you have a good pump to start with.

 

well do you know where i can get a good pump? for kinda cheap

 

Sorry, but a good VP44 and cheap don't seem to go together. My experience says a rebuilt injection pump will cost between $1200 and $1700 depending on what you buy and where you buy it. If you want a baseline to compare from, I would call Cummins Southern Plains in the Dallas area. All you need is the serial number off the engine and they can quote you a new or rebuilt pump. Then, if you want to look elsewhere, do a search on "VP44" on google or yahoo and you will find a number of folks now offering rebuilds. I would check out Blue Chip Perfomance's website for information on VP44 failures http://www.bluechipdiesel.com/inject...pfailures.html . They also sell rebuilds.
Have you checked for codes? You will need a scanner to check your 99. Auto Zone will check it for free. Just have a notepad handy to write down any codes.

Good Luck
