The problems related to CP4 high -pressure fuel pumps are well documented. Ford recently issued a recall of nearly 300,000 Super Duty Pickups powered by the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo -Diesel made between 19 February 2019 and 23 August 2021, due to problems with the CP4 pump.
The estimated costs to replace the damage caused by a CP4 pump disruption, usually quoted by owners on internet forums, varies from $ 10,000 to $ 15,000. In October 2023, one Powerstroke.org Member reported that the average costs for repairing a CP4 failure are around $ 14,000. In another Powerstroke.org Thread, another user reported a Ford dealer offer of $ 12,684.65 for a complete repair of fuel system after a CP4 pump disruption.
Retailers, such as Dale’s Super StoreSales of OEM -replacing CP4 pumps for around $ 1,000, and the work itself is possible, depending on your DIY -self -skill level. However, many Ford 6.7L Power stroke owners choose the S&S Diesel Motorsport “Ford 6.7L DCR pump conversion” priced at $ 1,990. Other Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke owners recommend installing a “disaster prevention kit” as a line of defense and then to install the DCR pump after the CP4 itself is fragmented.
CP4 Pump Problems and how to prevent them
The good news is that only a low percentage, 10% or less of CP4 pumps will fail prematurely. The general consensus about what a “premature” malfunction is, however, is slightly less than 100k miles, much less than the expected lifespan of a typical 6.7 power stroke engine.
The main problem with the CP4 failure on these engines is the grenade that is released in the fuel system when the pump dies. It is the metal shards that require the replacement of the entire fuel system, which floats the repair costs of $ 15K. It not only requires the replacement of the pump and injectors, but the high -pressure fuel pipes must be replaced and the entire fuel system at least cleaned.
There is really no way to prevent a CP4 pump from being intended for failure, but there are some steps that you can take to extend the lifespan of the majority of them. Firstly, you want to stay informed of the essential maintenance of the diesel engine, especially everything related to the fuel system. Then, using a diesel fuel additive, like Hot Shot’s SecretOffers extra lubrication for the internal components of the CP4 pump that are susceptible to failure.
Even with a fuel additive, most owners recommend buying good quality diesel fuel from busy stations with a high volume. Finally, a CP4 disaster prevention kit, mentioned above, is a cheap insurance against catastrophe in the case of a CP4 pump disruption. Even if the pump never fails, the prevention kit still offers an extra layer of fuel silence.
