It's that time again, time to replace my VP44. Who is making the best one for the money this week?

I know I need to ask if they use new computers, is there anything else I need to ask?

My first replacement was from Pensacola Diesel, it went 100,000, probably not too bad?

 

There is no question that Blue Chip makes the best.
They also have fantastic customer support.

Ditto on what he said ^

 

Blue Chip does make an excellant pump, but expensive at $1850...isn't there a good pump for less somewhere?

 

OK I will put my .02 in, Blue chip! I have 2 of them, 1 with almost 200k miles no problem .

 

Blue Chip
Others might be 'cheaper', but you get what you pay for.

 

I'm saving for a bluechip.

 

Naaa, $1850 for a pump for a 11 year old truck, there has to be a more cost effective solution

 

ya and when your sitting dead on the side of the road because that cheap pump had inferior or old parts still in it you will be kicking your self...been there done that!

 

I purchassed a pump 100,000 miles back from Pensacola Diesel, it's doing the same as the originator pump.

I would like to buy a pump that is cost effective for a 11 year old truck with 200,000. I would rather not double the value of the truck...lol

Ok, who sells the second best pump?

 

I would make darn sure who ever you buy from is not just testing the electronics in the pump but installing NEW ones .the early pumps had mechanical failures but that been taken care of its the electronics that fail now! just for the heck of it ...Valley pump and turbo in Woodland CA, has ALL the equipment to rebuild to the new standard of Bosch I have been in his shop several times and his rebuilds have all new parts and electronics and he tests every vp44 for 4hrs on his machines before boxing it up

 

Thanks Rebal, I'll give them a call Monday

 

sorry its valley fuel injection and turbo

 

industrial injection for me!!!

 

do you remember what Valley or Industrial cost for the exchange?
