We f@%*#! up the first time so we will now go back to the tried and true design.........STEEL.

Couldn't be because of problems like this, could it? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Plastic is great to use on an engine. Just ask owners of GM intake manifolds. :B

Shame on them for trying a new technology that had potential to save money at the same time producing a stronger part. For shame...for shame. Then, to add insult to injury, they realized it wasn't working out and switched back. I can't believe a company would do that. :R

Mid year and running changes and evolution of a design happens all the time. No big deal. Ford decided to go back to steel oil pans. Ram fixed their huge def blunder. GM is fixing the deadly ignition switches and brake lines. GMC axed the rear steer. We should all be happy the mfg's correct and advance on their designs. We as consumers win.

We as consumers win? :h

I wouldn't feel much like a winner if I had to take my truck in for a CP4 fix or a turbo fix or a brake line fix or a deadly ignition fix after spending 60K on it!

Ricatic do you feel like a winner?

Silly me, I expect A product that I pay 50 or 60 grand to work the first time out of the box. Not go back to the dealer 3, 4, 10 times for a "oh sorry, we f@%^&*&@ up, please excuse the inconvenience of us having your truck, (which you make a living with) for a week or a month to fix your CP4 pump." "By the way, I hope you have 12 grand in your bank account because we won't pay for it."

I'm beginning to figure out how they sell these trucks and who they sell them too. :B LOL
