Bosch says that it is a platform, and they will build to whatever is spec'ed by the manufacturer. But for the time being I am going to assume that the internals are the same, and just mounting bosses etc are different.

I was busy posting, and did not see your recent post until I was finished.
A question for you. Since your vehicle is a 2011 Duramax, I must assume it does NOT have the problematic Bosch CP 4.2 pump.
It is my understanding that Duramax didn't get this pump until the 2012 model year.
Am I correct or misinformed here?????

Since you use PM-22A and recommend everybody "use some sort of additive that adds lubricity," do you know what exactly is in PM-22A that adds lubricity?
You've played this game before with your one-up-manship on those who use the PM22A. You could just say it but you have your ego to flex.

Like Rick just setting back and reading it, don't have no dog in this fight. BUT, Bird Freak didn't quite finish....It's not just Ford that "the same folks come out strong against, ie the bias and bashing...It also happens when there is a posting about Toyota, GMC/Chevy and Dodge/Ram....all these get bashed by the same one's over and over again. So, it's just not Ford....it's pratically all of them when a thread like OP started that brings out the worse in some.. Seems the brand loyal opposites and bias ones come on just to be argumentative..not just about Ford, so you're not alone in your feelings. GM/Chevy/Toyota and Dodge Ram guys know how you feel when there brands get slammed by the same one's over and over again....
Back on topic, sorry......

I didn't. I said they strongly RECCOMMEND it.
When a dealer asks you to print and sign a document that he also signs..... That needs to be taken seriously. At least in my world anyways.
If it were just some helpful tips.... There would be no signing involved.
Why does Ford have such a document?
