p1688 time to replace vp44?

[LKuilder]

I was just leaving my place this afternoon and all of a sudden as soon as I pulled out onto the road the truck died. I coasted into a parking lot and tried to re-fire with no luck. The truck just cranked over and wouldn't fire. I have a Scan Gauge II on the truck and scanned for codes and got a p1688. I'm assuming the vp44 is dead and I just need to replace it?

If the vp44 is done where would you recommend to buy one from? I don't think I'm wanting at hot rod vp or anything like that... probably just a replacement one. Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've been calling around and checking online all morning and it looks like Thoroughbred Diesel in Kentucky has the best price. Bosch VP44 Dodge Injection Pump :: VP 44 Diesel Fuel Injection Pump $995 with no upfront core charge and free shipping. Has anyone dealt with Thoroughbred Diesel before? Are they good to deal with? And is there a place out there that has a better deal than this?

There a great company to deal with I lost my vp Sunday and this Monday it was back on the road but it's pretty convenient for me because there 10 miles away but they keep them in stock and have great customer service and have very knowledgeable staff they also have a 1 year unlimited milage warranty.

I got my new VP all in and the truck running again. I've got my Edge turned off for now until I get my FASS system installed. I haven't tapped the pump wire yet on this new pump and was thinking of using one of the stealth covers. Would I be better off using a stealth cover instead of tapping the wire itself outside of the pump? And if the stealth cover is the better way to go which one should I use; the BD one or the Blue Chip one?
