Yep, and to think the VP$$ (AKA injection pump), was considered the weak point of the 24V 2nd gen Cummins! The issue was really the weak a** stock fuel pump. Just didn't supply enough pressure and volume to cool the electronics of the VP44.
I guess that is one reason the value of these TV keep gong up, I can replace the Fuel pump (AKA Lift Pump), VP44 and the six injectors for right around $2,000.
The guy I bought my 98 from in 01 bought a late 01 with the VP44 he has at least 300K on his stock lift pump and injection pump. I keep telling him to change to a stronger lift pump because it will fail. Been doing so for 200K! He just laughs at me. He does run AMZ/OIL fuel condition and Cetane Boost. Maybe that stuff really does work!
