locogato11283 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Fuck, I'd have to buy an ultra light aluminum enclosed trailer for that to happen. No wonder that thing pulls so good. You could probably pull it with Laceys Honda. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk The Jeep has a hitch. I think I'll drive it to LSOK.

F1HDR Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 was reading on that... would cost anywhere from 3-5K to do it all said and done. a lot of guys have been fine with a airdog kit and monitoring the fuel pressure. If you where driving long distances and didnt want to mess with that bs then yea id say investing that kind of cash would be worthwhile. from what I gather the issue is the VP44 messes up when the lift pump starts slacking off on fuel pressure due to lack of cooling and lubrication. a new LP and keeping an eye on fuel line pressure and your golden. takes about 30mins to swap out lift pumps from what I read too You got it figured out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been running the same one for 130 thousand miles now. And yes fuel pressure monitor is critical imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Is that truck a 5 speed or 6, they had both for a while. If 5 speed you may want to address the 5th gear lock nut, they like to walk off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thats the one. If placed back by the tank it will work well and last a long time. as you know electric pumps like to push fuel not draw it. Whoever decided putting the electric lift pump on the motor on these trucks is a jackass and single handedly ruined lots of lift pumps and consequently vp44s. Like i said mine now has 130k miles on it and is still going strong. So here is the deal with the 5th gear nut. The best fix is to put a fully splined main shaft in it. The easy and simple fix is just to buy the aftermarket nut which locks in place with set screws and loctite. If you leave it be and it backs off sometimes you can get away with adding the aftermarket nut but sometimes it will walk back off. If you put the nut on before it walks off it generally will stay put. The nv4500 is super simple trans to build so if he waits and it fails its really easy to build and at that point he could simply buy the mainshaft and new 5th gear which is the way to go anyway. Its just a matter of trying to prevent a breakdown and a lot of guys like to do the nut because it can be done in the truck whereas a rebuild obviously means removal and down time.
