The DP Remanufactured VP44 Fuel Injection Pump (Stock HP) XDIPVR15X for your 1998.5-2002 Dodge 5.9L Diesel is the perfect option for those needing to replace the failed VP44 in their truck. While many VP44's on the market are rebuilt with inferior quality components, the DP VP44 pump has been remanufactured to the most stringent specifications. It features all of the latest updates and incorporates the most recent OE parts. Each pump comes pre-tested and is ready for installation. This 235HP (Standard Output) pump is a stock horsepower replacement for automatic and 5-speed trucks with a 235HP engine.
The VP44 fuel injection pump is a critical component of the 5.9L 12-Valve diesel engine. It is responsible for pressurizing the fuel and distributing it to each cylinder. However they can eventually fail over time. One of the most common signs of P44 injection pump failure is a loss of power. Other symptoms include rough idling, stalling, difficulty starting the engine, and excessive smoke. If you notice any of these symptoms or have a corresponding DTC code on the dashboard, your VP44 pump could be failing.
WHY DO VP44 PUMPS FAIL?
A VP44 fuel pump can fail for many reasons. Using a low-quality or contaminated fuel can begin to cause corrosion and wear on the pump's internals. If water, dirt, or debris enters the pump it can ultimately lead to pump failure. Exposure to any of these contaminants can gradually diminish the life span of the pump. This can be more common on a truck that was not regularly maintained following the manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule (with fuel and oil filter changes performed at the recommended intervals). In addition, if the fuel pressure drops below 10psi or if the engine is running hot, it can cause overheating of the pump. Besides any internal wear from overheating, this can also do damage to pump's electronics and internal components. Electrical issues such as wiring problems, faulty sensors, and other electrical issues can also cause a pump to begin malfunctioning.
