Really? Really???
An article in 2007 stated, The most common mechanical problem with the 98.5-2002 Dodge Cummins was failure of the Bosch Vp44 injection pump and lift pump. Over the years these have been notorious for going out and costing consumers a lot of money.
Thought they have grown in their diesel product offerings, companies like Midwest Fuel Injection, Blue Chip Diesel, and others established their companies on the problems of the VP44 fuel pumps.

The aging ECMs are now ushering in a new era of profits for the Cummins mechanics. All electronic items break down with age, especially under the hood. Of course these ECMs are discontinued and the only ones you can get are "remanufactured".
