That's my problem is I'm in a bind right now. Who do I sell it to as a core? And thanks guys you've been a lot of help!

 

Used VP's are cores once they come off the engine.<br />
Salvage yard pumps, buddy across town that took off complete engine, setting on dead engine, I don't care. None are worth more than core value and not worth the chance. JMHO of course.

I would never buy a used VP44 unless I was really in a bind and needed one. If you going to sell it be fair with your price and explain the details with the buyer. I know if you wanted to you could send it to any vendor for 300 bucks as a core you'll always make that much.

<div style="font-style:italic">P0216 doesn't necessarily mean the pump is gone. My truck had a fuel leak from the filter housing drain and was drawing in air. It threw the 0216 code. I fixed it, cleared the code, and it hasn't come back. That was several months ago.</div>

Let me start with...<br />
<a href="http://articles.mopar1973man.com/2nd-generation-24v-dodge-cummins/25-fuel-system/415-bosch-vp44-injection-pump-requirements" target="_blank">Mopar1973Man's Dodge Cummins Articles - Bosch VP44 Injection Pump Requirements</a><br />
<br />
Then just running out of fuel isn't going to kill a VP44. But now running with low fuel pressure for extended period can and will damage a pump.

 

Which code are you getting? P0216?<br />
<br />
If so, you're injection pump is dead. Get a FASS 150 lift pump on before you install a new VP44. Get gauges on ASAP, especially a fuel pressure gauge.
