Consumer Description

ON 1998.5 - 2002 DODGE RAM PICK UP WITH THE 5.9 CUMMINS DIESEL THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH VP-44 INJECTION PUMP FAILURES. SEVERAL VP RE BUILDERS LAY THE PROBLEM TO HEAT FAILURE & VIBRATION DUE TO SOLDER JOINTS CRYSTALLIZING. THESE PUMPS ARE NOT CHEAP & THE PROBLEM WAS SO BAD THAT FED X FORCED BOSCH THE MANUFACTURE OF THESE PUMPS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. NOT EVERYONE HAS THE MONEY TO REPLACE ONE OF THESE PUMPS. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ONE OF THESE PUMPS ARE GOING TO FAIL. IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN AN INTERSECTION & IT WOULD FAIL TAT THEN BECOMES A TRAFFIC HAZARD. I HAD ON GO BAD 9/17/2004 & NOW I HAVE ANOTHER GOING BAD NOW. THEY COST AROUND $2500.00 TO $3000.00 TO REPLACE. *TR
