Q: i dont think bombs had much to do with lift pumps vp-44s for sure. as long as the engine is running the lift runs at its perdetermined rate its not responsive to fuel demands so its not overworked. good point. -- nathan in montana http//concealedcarryforum.com http//1911tech.com http//glockcarry.com .

max i think issue with the pump was the placement of it which was done by dc. there was a article yup another one a few years ago that went on and on about who was really at fault. it all had to do with failures downstream from a failed pump regards who owned the claim. its out there somewhere but i gotta tell ya at this stage the gettin aint worth the goin roy agreed. my point was not that there was no problem; its clear there is a problem and i never stated otherwise despite the misinterpretation of some. calling it rampant... well its just not so. as to the sources my point is that no one actually publishes a reliable failure rate except nhtsa if they take enough of an interest and its a safety issue. thus again there is a problem with calling something rampant when the facts indicate otherwise. what bothers me about the stats we do have is that they are intentionally vague. something that is lost on at least one person here. 17% failure rate over the warranty period means its over 100000 miles. i dont know about you but having less that 1 in 5 fail in 100000 miles isnt terrible. id like to know what the failure rate of a mechanical pump on the small block mopars would be over 100000 miles. i can personally attest to installing at least one on my old dart in the 100000 ive driven it. i cant remember how many weve put on the 63 in its 200000+ miles. id bet its more than three. all of this is lost on someone like joe sixpack because hes only interested in his truck not the actual facts over thousands of trucks. as to whose fault is was... well thats anyones guess. clearly the claim that cummins trucks are selling the brand while at the same time failing at rampant rates is some sort of conflicting conclusion. but ive come to expect this. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author max i think issue with the pump was the placement of it which was done by dc. there was a article yup another one a few years ago that went on and on about who was really at fault. it all had to do with failures downstream from a failed pump regards who owned the claim. its out there somewhere but i gotta tell ya at this stage the gettin aint worth the goin roy .
