VP44 cost ?
What will it cost me to replace my vp 44 if I voided the warranty ?
Here is the problem: 2002 quad cab H.O. 6 speed. Installed Banks 4" exhaust , boost and egt gauges, banks boss hoss 100hp box(yes it taps the vp44 wire), K&N filter,Banks exhaust brake. After spending quite a bit of time on the phone with the banks tech's asking warranty void and being assured that banks equipment would not void the warranty on my truck , I purchased and installed the above components. Afterwards I find out about the Dodge TSB concerning pump tampering (felt a sick feeling in my stomach). The truck has ran fine until now, first symptoms was the momentary loss of power, changed fuel filter, apps reset. tThe truck stumbled again (long trip at highway speeds) replaced the turbo boost sensor and another apps reset. Truck ran worse than before, put old boost sensor back on , checked code (p2016), un hooked the boss hoss module (back to stock) truck seems to be running ok for now, but alot of black smoke, I am 800 miles from home right now traing with the military, but will be returning home in a few weeks. I have an uneasy feeling that the pump will just crap out some where between no where and no where. I know a new lift pump is around $180.00, but does any one know how much a new VP 44 will cost me, Feeling sick in Ft. Rucker AL.
