The VP44 fuel injection pump is a critical component of the 5.9L 12-Valve
diesel engine. It is responsible for pressurizing the fuel and
distributing it to each cylinder. However they can eventually fail over
time. One of the most common signs of VP44 injection pump failure is a
loss of power. Other symptoms include rough idling, stalling, difficulty starting the engine, and excessive smoke. If you notice any of these symptoms or have a corresponding DTC code on the dashboard, your VP44 pump could
be failing.
Why Do VP44 Pumps Fail?
A VP44 fuel pump can fail for many
reasons. Using a low-quality or contaminated fuel can begin to cause
corrosion and wear on the pump’s internals. If water, dirt, or debris
enters the pump it can ultimately lead to pump failure. Exposure to any
of these contaminants can gradually diminish the life span of the pump.
This can be more common on a truck that was not regularly maintained
following the manufacturers recommended maintenance schedule (with fuel
and oil filter changes performed at the recommended intervals). In
addition, if the fuel pressure drops below 10psi or if the engine is
running hot, it can cause overheating of the pump. Besides any internal
wear from overheating, this can also do damage to pump’s electronics and
internal components. Electrical issues such as wiring problems, faulty
sensors, and other electrical issues can also cause a pump to begin
malfunctioning.
Symptoms of a Failing VP44 Injection Pump:
- Stalling
