Made of crap metal that would snap off moment you tried to remove them.The front ones were not to bad to drill and tap out then replace with barbs but man when the left back rear busted , such a pita . First few I removed intakes to drill , then about the 4th one (done about 150 total in SC working for Bellsouth) I learned to do it without removal but still such a pita. working flat rate I did make some damn good money on 6.5's and up to 95 G van 30 min dash heater cores.

We mounted the lift pump and fuel filters on the frame rail and installed a fuel pressure gauge. We’ve been able to monitor lift pump performance and change it out before damage occurred to the VP44.

We told her to let the clutch out when we gave her a sign, as we signalled her to do so, she simply turned the key, what weakened the battery even more. The second attempt after we told her the procedure again, she left out the clutch that hard, that my mate slipped off of the rear left fender, where he was pushing,running alongside of the car and I hit my knee on the rear bumper, because the car stood still immediatly in first gear, although we told her to use 2nd gear...

Another awesome job Wes! Love your honest..."raw" content. Thanks! Hey, take it easy on your assistant! She a critical, needed, part of your repair crew! 😁

I was glad to see the way you ended the video. In fact it was my favorite park. My friend I think you are too blessed to be stressed by the trivialities of daily life. {please take that a compliment to the two of you.} Keep up the good work.

A couple of side notes for those who may attempt this… The Woodruff key is matched with the pump for timing purposes. Do not lose the key that came with the new pump. If the tappet cover is leaking, now is the time to replace the gasket, or better yet, get a billet cover with o-rings if you plan on keeping the truck for any length of time. Those gaskets on the original tappet cover will harden and leak. You don’t want to pull the VP44 again to fix the leak. Those stock, Carter lift pumps are pretty poor quality. FASS makes a high quality, direct replacement pump. They also make a remote pump/air separation system that mounts by the fuel tank, which is the best solution. Those VP44’s are really sensitive to low lift pump pressure, so having a fuel pressure gauge on the A-pillar is almost required to save the VP44 when the cheap Carter lift pump fuel pressure approaches 5 PSI (more is better). I run Diesel Kleene with each fill up to help the VP44 last with today’s low sulphur fuels. FWIW…

I love the banter! My wife and I are the same after 30yrs of marriage. You guys are awsome! God bless you all.

Watching you work is a absolute pleasure, Some "friendly" teasing" may bite you in the neck one day, but the missus seem to handle you well Your comments are still top of the class

The lift pumps were garbage on the vp44. Most of the time barely made enough pressure and eventually took out the injection pump. That’s the reason everyone goes with a fass or air dog. The rule of thumb was a minimum of 10 psi of fuel while driving. That supplied the proper pressure and also was enough to pop open the return line spring so you could circulate fuel and keep the injection pump cool

Love to see the two of you go at it!

Thank you both for another good start to the weekend.

Great job Wes, Good for the customer to replace all of the cancer on that dodge! Those 24V Cummins should go another 200K easily.

You’re a genius. I saw your video because the same thing just happened to my 2001 cummins. Started it tonight, it ran for about 5 seconds, sputtered and quit. Then I couldn’t restart it. 😭

When you dropped the wrench I held my breath waiting for the concrete clank. My wifes dodge still owes me a 10mm socket.

Wes, Watching Mrs Wes throw that tennis ball at the end makes me think I'd stay out of reach of her right hand. That young lady has one hell of an arm on her!! Great vid again, thanks for sharing your wisdom with all of us!

Yep, been there, done that. Two towing charges and a trip to the Cummins dealership. Both pumps replaced at a bit over 3 grand. As it turned out the service department manager was a friend of mine from high school. Like you he said they were having to replace a lot of the pumps. He placed the blame on the new low and zero sulfur fuel. Who knows?? But in my 53 years of driving, it's the only vehicle I wish I had never sold. 2000, Cummins dually,

OK, I just made it to your "key on" incident... I just finished the reinstall of the injection pump on my Case 1690, I found out the hard way that the pump gear can actually skip a tooth and I wasn't smart enough to put the keyway in an orientation that aligned pump during install anyways. I guess all I'm saying is, I feel you pain friend, I feel your pain.

Great driving Ms. Wes !

The male end on the fuel fitting to the low pressure pump looks like an SAE J2044. Several companies make mating female line end - all go on easy but can be a pain without the removal tool to get them off as you have found out. They are popular since they only need one hand to make the connection and can be verified either with a tug - the style you are working with - on a assurance feature that either acts as a secondary lock or just an indicator.

Always a pleasure watching you work Wes. I get a kick out of your ‘hired help’ good help is hard to find but just the same you two made me laugh at the end. Don’t stop doing what you do. Maybe someday I’ll be able to order some of your stickers hehehe. Thanks again u make my day!

I've owned dodges with the Ve, P, and Vp and common rail. Agree the Vp ones are more problematic but just two things will keep them happy and running, one is they don't like to pull their own fuel from the taknk so keep them feed, second is keeping them cool so I always try and keep the tank at least half full in the hot summer days. Fuel pressure gauge and a working fuel gauge has kept me from ever replacing a Vp 44. Knock on wood I probably just opened the door for Murphy to show his head.
