I was surprised that they hit 5000 DCR ‘s sold during the first year.

Glad there are that many out there. A DCR is high on my list, just not the top at the moment. I know the DPK 2.1 is not needed with the DCR, but having installed one I plan to leave it after the DCR install unless it will not physically work with the lines, I am confident it will, please advise if you know otherwise. I already own the the DPK and like the idea of a filter in the return especially since it is already there and paid for. I do love clean fuel, even the return fuel.

The minute my warranty is up, I have a DPK to install. The DCR is still pretty high on the "want" list and I may just skip the DPK and go for the DCR when the time comes. Right now tho, I don't want to touch a thing, I will not give Ford one single excuse to void my warranty.

Good for them, will be very interesting to see how these pumps hold up in the wild but appears to be a very well thought out design.
The only thing that gets me nervous about the whole thing is stanadyne, they are pretty much a zombie company at this point with PE vultures at the helm. I hope they continue to stick around. I guess if they went belly up, someone could by the IP and tooling and keep it rolling.

If I ever bought a new 6.7, yep, I'd be installing a DPK. But that's just me and I'm not buying a new truck any time soon or maybe ever, unless I hit the lottery.

you can leave the return filter in...but the actual metering valve manifold will not transfer to DCR.

I'm glad he explained what happened with the truck that was a test rig for the DCR during testing that they made a video on and how all the rust and corrosion formed from ONE FILL UP of bad fuel and by the truck sitting for two weeks when the owner went on vacation... I wonder if it was from a "high traffic" fuel station because I don't think we can control what fuel we get everytime.

All I'm going say is that I'll cross that bridge when I get to it... because I did hear that S&S guy say that the DPK return filter "does nothing..." I'm just wondering what mods have to be made to get the return filter inline with the DCR. And I'm also thinking I still have plans to install my Air Dog so with that in the equation, I'm thinking I'd probably shelf the DPK if it was DCR time...

1. original s&s DPK with 2 micron return filter. If you put it in-line….it will probally clog during cold months…mega dose of anti gel would be needed to stay ahead of this.
2. Later s&s DPK with the can return filter. Putting this version return filter in line with dcr would do nothing …bad or good. This version has a 9 micron return filter and putting a 9 micron return after the engine bay 4 micron filter will do nothing since the 4 mi Ron filter filtered out 4 micron or greater items..there would be nothing for a 9 micron filter to do.
if you don’t want to use the can type filter as a return filter…you can get a 5 micron nominal / 15 micron absolute element and put the return filter in between the engine bay and lift pump filter. This would filter stuff in between the ratings of the two stock filters and help prevent the engine bay filter from bursting…which has happend to many including me.
also, newer engine bay filters have a bypass for cold months…so if you put in the in between filter…you will have some protection when the newer engine bay filter goes into by pass mode.

putting the return filter in-line with DCR has 2 different senerios

I did buy the 2.1 upgrade when it first came out for half price so I have it if I ever needed to swap to it... but again, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I'm not proactively installing a DCR now that I have my DPK installed..

2) There are other parts and pieces between the HP pump and the tank, I have several filters that I replaced the stock ones with already. I did have the Ford engine bay filter rupture too.
