CP4 Failure
Well, I'm an (up)proud member of the catastrophic CP4 pump failure club.
Being paranoid based on other user's experience didn't help nor did any additive. I changed my fuel filters more than required and added cetane boosted additives at almost every fill up. Nonetheless, the pump failed @ 129,325 on my 2017 SD and sent metal fragments through the entire fuel system.
The only indication I got was a CEL with a Reduced Engine Performance Message under acceleration followed by a complete engine shutdown. I had it towed back to the house and dropped the tank-side fuel filter only to find metal in the residual fuel. I had it towed to a Ford dealership for further diagnosis hoping it was something else, but it wasn't. $11,256 later and I got her back...and entered my information into the pending Class Action.
Not much more I could have done according to the service manager...

Still cost me about the same as you because that truck went away and I drove out with a different new truck.
So did yourd have to wait on parts for a while, or did they have them avilable?

Dpk would’ve turned that into just a couple thousand and a lot less work to get running.
I love the 6.7 and its capabilities but I don’t understand folks who don’t spend a few hundred on a dpk to contain the cp4 to a simple fix once they’re out of warranty. It’s so simple to do and it’s night and day if the fuel pump goes bad.

“OTHERS” did fix the problem. Got away from the CP4 for a better pump.

there are benefits to the turbo diesel over the gassers. But I agree towing under a certain weight the gassers are preferred for simplicity. But quit the odd fascination with others dicks lol.
Great part is also that the truck will still drive with pump failure and a dpk so it doesn’t leave you stranded either. Since ford never adopted a kit from the factory it’s a no brainer to put one on for a few hundred bucks in my mind.

I guess I should have been more clear when I said don’t buy a CP4. I should have stated straight out…….if you need a diesel, dont buy a Ford and the CP4 won’t be a problem.

I bought the Ford, because I prefer them, period. Had a Ram and was not impressed, and don't care for Government Motors. It has nothing to do with a certain body part envy. I will put the kit on once the warranty is out, and if something happens, fix it and move on.
