I guess my question would be why take a chance with anything after the 7.3 when there are two other brands that mostly have things ironed out and do stand behind their product.
Because the other two don't come with a never break down guarantee. When I drive by the Chrysler and GM service bays, I notice they are just as busy as the ford garage. No starving techs... now, if I was looking for a diesel, the rep of the cp4 would be on my mind, no doubt..
No no TV comes with a never break guarantee, but Ford seems to have issues bigger than GM with the Bosch HPFP 4.+ fuel pump. Keep in mind that Cummins still uses the 3.x HPFP.
I think if I owned a a GM or Ford with the 4.X+ HPFP I would be installing an after market filter and water separator, so what if Ford says that it will void the fuel system warranty Ford doesn't cover that anyway.
I have a Cummins Gen2 with a Bosch VP44 (AKA VP$$), I installed an aftermarket lift pump that supplies the necessary fuel pressure to protect the VP44. I also use a lubricity additive to help.
