Why are the Fords not failing at the rate of the Ram-installed pumps?

Correct answer: Because the Ram pump is overclocked causing it to work harder than the other brands.

The CP4 doesn't fail because of low sulfur diesel. It fails because of it's design and no "additive" is going to correct it's design short-comings. Ram overclocking the pump to produce higher PSI only exacerbated the problem.

The CP4 piston is not "located" in it's bore allowing it to spin within the bore. There is a roller bearing at the bottom of the CP4 piston that, when spun, becomes perpendicular with the cam that actuates the piston. Once this happens, the roller bearing cannot roll and the pump eats itself.

interesting, first time I've seen this info. Everything else always blames lack of lubricity

always wonder if shit like this somehow gets overlooked or they just decide that most pumps will outlive the warranty and **** the consumer. Even with our corporate discount at Ford it still ran us north of 12k when the pump went. No signs of water in the fuel, water separator always basically empty (checked every oil change).

There are definitely Ford failures (and tons of GM), but when Ram finally put this pump in the 2019 HD trucks, their failures were almost 2x as many as Fords or GM's -- most likely due to overclocking the pump in that application.

But design of the CP4 in and of itself is the real issue.

Convert to CP3 and never worry about it again.

do you have a particular reference for doing this? I believe one of my 6.7s is still under warranty

I don't think there is a kit available to the Ford guys... only Ram and GM at this point.

I had to come up with something to replace the new Ranger I had purchased last month. After a lot of thought and going back and forth between a newer Lariat F150 (markup is $6,000 in my area) or a F250, I was getting ready to settle on the F150 given the circumstances of what the car market is and ordering banks aren't open for 250's...plus the wait.

At the last minute I found this preowned 2022 F250 with only 7,000 miles, gold certified, for sale.
No mud residue, mostly dusty with cobwebs. Just the way I like my preowned vehicles.

The dealership gave me $1000.00 less than what I paid on the Ranger so I was fortunate there. I was willing to pay for what I wanted this time around considering the very low markup they had on it compared to others within a 100 mile radius.

Anyway, first F250, first diesel, and me and my wife are in love with this truck!
23.6 mpg @ 75mph for most of the trip home
Our annual mileage is around 9,000 miles. Should last us for years to come.
My '08 F150 bought new has 117,000 miles, 14 years old but I don't wanna push the envelope
