Bottom line for me is that this thread should NOT have to be...indicative of
pushing the limits and of the overly used computer simulations in exclusion of
real world test mules that they 'USED' to have fleets of.
From my point of view, also indicative of the engineers shooting in the dark
at a problem that they have not characterized well enough. Even think they truly
don't know what the root cause is. Another IMHO, think there are SEVERAL root causes
that might be multiplexing among themselves
That sounds about right... it is a set of causes that eluded the best minds at Bosch, at least circa 2009, when the design of the CP4 for the Ford 6.7 was frozen.
I remember the introductory marketing splash, the Mike Rowe videos on the website, etc. Seem to recall one of the development team for the engine state that a fleet of test "mules" logged like 2 million miles on this engine before full scale production began. Wonder what Ford's experience with the CP4x was with the mules??? :h
