DCR conversion complete.
I just replaced my tired CP4. It’s my 2nd one and has about 100k miles on it. Still ran fine but I wasn’t wanting to wait for it to fail again. (Last CP4 went out at 150k) .
So far im very pleased with the mod. The peace of mind is well worth the $1990 price tag. The kit is impeccable. Incredible workmanship.
5 Stars. Would recommend.

The vacuum pump reinstall kicked my A$$. Could not get it to align. Finally got it after numerous attempts.

Yup, I have the DCR in mine now for 4 or 5 months I guess. Lots of towing with it and it will hold 36K PSI all day long.

I was quoted $1200 to have the install done. I feel it’s a fair price.?
Ive always been mechanically gifted so
I ended up doing it myself after viewing a few videos on it. I had done the full DEF/EGR Cooler delete and DPK prior to that. Figured why not try. The install wasn’t bad. It took me about 11 hours total. Not rushing and taking my time, plenty of breaks. ( a vertical creeper is a must) The instruction booklet made it very clear what to do. The hardest thing for me was aligning the vacuum pump cams during the reinstall. It kicked my azz for about 2 hours! I had to keep stepping away to avoid frustration. Overall, it was worthwhile to do it myself. Works great and I got to tear a little deeper into the diesel motor.
