Got the dreaded p0216 code yesterday. Two days before a 4-wheeling and camping trip up north Truck would hardly get out of its own way, no smoke no power.

So my question is, which company makes a the best hotrod vp44? I know some have talked about a lope at idle with some, and that is NOT the one I want. I want a smooth idle. Also has everyones hotrod been reliable?Anyone have any issues or problems with theirs? What are these pumps costing if we are able to post that info?

Thanks in advance, I need to figure out which one to get and quickly. Bret

 

I don't think you'll get definite answers to your questions. Try doing a search for the HRVP44 and you get enough info to make your decision.

 

$2150+ $800 core from the dealer LOL... I dont care who ya are, that right there AINT funny!! Bret

 

II is offering a 10% discount on vp44's. That includes the hotrod vp too

 

awesome!! thanks Bob

 

I'd go with Industrial Injection. Like someone else said, do some searches - the lopy idle is hit and miss, the builder doesn’t really seem to mater much on this issue. However, you HP will tend to vary from vendor to vendor - not all HRVP44's are built the same

From everything that I have herd, reliability of a HR pump is identical to a standard pump. I have had 0 issues with my pump, been in for 1.5 years, 20-30k miles...

 

what is the whole hrvp44 pump is it that much better then what u would find on the stock 44? what kind of power differances? does it mess with the computer at all with over fueling at all? thanks for any help on this issue

 

II advertises a 70-100 hp gain with their performance vp44.
I got mine here: http://www.performancedieselwarehouse.com/1258207.html

 

Marco might be able to fix the lopey idle problem. any interest in a software fix for smarty owners?

 

That would be nice, I wouldn't get wierd looks when I pull in places, I don't need anymore attention, I get enough as it is.

 

ok heres a good deal. ill sell you my vp44 (less than 1000 miles) for 700 bucks and your core. professionally installed, stock hp.

ill even throw in shipping

 

That'd be great

 

Marco is looking for a test truck so shoot Marco a PM.

 

Perfect, I'll have to do that.

 

If Marco could fix the lope, I'd very likely upgrade my Catcher to the Smarty! The lope isn't all that bothersome, but it would give me a warm fuzzy that I dont have another problem with my truck.

Can you give any insight as to what is causing this - obviously Marco knows something if he feels he could fix it. Some guys have a lope at idle, others (like myself) have a lope just off idle in a no load situation. Is Marco trying to fix one or both of these?

I'll test for you, but would need a loaner Smarty. If it would help, I can send you video of my truck doing this.
