| My 2002 dodge ram 2500 is having problems with its vp-44 engine pump. it gets a dead pedal and in traffic it suddenly stops. there isn't anything you can do but pull over until it comes back on. this isn't a good thing in heavy traffic, especially on a 4 line road in the left lane. this almost caused an accident with a speeding semi (he almost rear ended me!). *tr | |||
