It doesn't cost anything to unplug the box and see but I would think
you would get an ECM related code if it was bad.

Just my 2 cents worth.
Pops, what I was thinking is, if the box is creating hiccups the computer might read an out of range signal as a p0216 injection timing control failure.

called Diesel Repair & Performance in parker colo. for a quote
using his rebuilt vp44 and doing diagnostics on the lift pump fuel system ,new filters ,towing to shop and 1 year unlimited mile warranty. $2004 total
the BBB gave him an A rating
talking to the owner tom on the phone. he was very helpful and informative.
he suggested that if i decide to do it
i mail him the truck key and call the storage place to let his employee in to tow it to the shop.
now i just need $404 more
i was able to scrape up $1600
but that is simply all i can do right now.
i need this truck for work
and i gotta get it home before it snows (no snow tires)
 
i mailed them the key and they should be getting it today.
man alive i hope that guy is honest!

i dont have any money for a fuel pressure gauge so it is going to be a nerve wracking drive home!
as soon as humanly possible i am installing a gauge!!!!!!
 
Remove the Van Aaken controller and hook it up the factory way?
I bought my truck new in 01. At 500 miles I installed a Puck Diablo it went bad in less than a 100 miles so I switched to a BD and have had no more controller issues.
At 60,000 the lift pump quit, fried the VP44, installed a Thoroughbred Diesel rebuild and an Airdog The truck has 215,000 mile now running strong.

that box was the problem

that was a darn good idea
wish i had thought of it
just as that mechanic called to tell me the vp44 was fine
IR-POPS arrived with my hotrod and stuff
this morning i rode back to denver with him
and drove the 3500 home.
it runs fine
but doesnt have the power it used to have [cl:D[P;)[dr
 
Glad to hear the box was the problem.
They don't have the pull without the box.
It most likely won't get the mileage without one either.
My truck gets 2 miles to the gallon better with the box.
The BD box on mine is 60 HP 109 lbs. of torque. Not that much, in todays market.
