S&S DCR pump
2015 F-250 CC 4X4 PSD 123,500 miles
I decided to keep her a couple more years. She is garage kept and in darn nice shape. I have an appointment Monday for the DCR pump upgrade. I know the main draw to this pump is keeping the rest of the fuel system safe from metal shavings. But, is the pump also more robust? Just wondering if I still need to consistently run lubricity additives. I have been, and always will drain the water separator at least twice per month.
I assume others who have done this upgrade are happy with it?

I did the DCR upgrade in November of last year when the turbo was replaced.
I figured my '16' with only 72k miles why not.... all the labor cost was getting the turbo out. Unless something unforseen happens the truck will be around for a long while.

Had mine done December 24' in your backyard at a Ford dealer ($1700 w/tax) for labor on the way down to the Keys for the winter. I use my rig to haul a truck camper that is in the bed of the truck 99% of the time that hauls a 6k lb boat nearly as much while in use. Also plan on flat towing a new Bronco out west for a couple months each summer. Truck is not a DD otherwise.
Being stuck on side of the road while out of town waiting on parts for a pump and fuel system is a no go for me.

I know how my local 'Truck Service Facility' answered or responded to my q's regarding warranty coverage of a failed Cp4 pump.
I said f_it I'm going with a S & S replacement and hopefully living happily ever after wards.
Befor some of you go off the rails believe me I don't agree with the 'game'.
My neighbor told me they had millions and millions of improvement based on warratny work to vehicles of a certain manufacturer at their dealership.
You have no idea what's going on.
Consider myself $10 - $15k in the black.
Look up the $million dollar mile. We all live in this area. All are part of the Big 3 machine. You guys who think you know what's going on have no idea.

I need a big diesel to get down to Florida - for 6 months every winter and flat tow a Bronco out west every summer. Not much I can do short of contacting a 3rd party that can ensure I have a better chance of getting my rig back to my home after - 9 months out on the road.
Play the game.
Call the old Us_R if you think you can do better.
