where is the cheapest place to get one of those pump covers for the comp install? Also if I have already tapped the wire w/what Edge gives you, is there anything I need to do after I unplug it and hook up this cover?

 

give me a break, 20 views and no comments? I found it at extreme diesel for $60 but I thought I had seen it somewhere else for $35. I did a search, but didn't find anything on here...

 

$35 ??? I agree that's what they should cost, or less. I bought mine at a local diesel shop in Anchorage 2 years ago for about $62 I believe.
BD and Blue Chip make 'em. You can always do a Google search, and I bet you'll find something for "BD stealth plate" or "Blue Chip pump cover".

 

The only place I've seen them that inexpensive was in our classified section.

I paid ~$50 for my Blue Chip pump cover 4 years ago from a company that's no longer in business.

Found one a little cheaper here: http://www.bluechipdiesel.com/specials.html

 

Wait a minute! You already tapped the wire, right? Are you replacing your VP anytime soon? If you're not I don't understand your reasoning for getting a cover right now.

The purpose of the cover is to avoid having to pierce the solenoid wire outside of the housing so that there is no easily visible sign of tampering. The good wrenchers will know how to locate the pierce in the circuit board.

The only reason I could see getting the cover after having tapped the wire is to provide a more solid connection, but with that said all you need to do is solder the wire. Before I replaced my VP I had my TST tapped on the outside. I cut away about an 1/8" of the sheath, wrapped my tapping wire around the solenoid wire, soldered the connection, heat shrinked the solenoid wire, and then wrapped it up good and firm with electrical tape. In effect I did this to give myself some lead instead of trying to stretch wires through the engine compartment like most instructions advise you to do.

 

well i i figured the cover would offer a more solid connection....

 

It probably is, since that needle sharp pin screws into the circuit board.
I've heard that if someone did want to conceal the little pierce in the board at a later date, that some black RTV neatly applied would do the job

 

I used one of them thar Posi-Taps. Worked great got it from Walmart, believe it or not.

 

Looks like it will be ordered from Blue Chip, thanks guys!
