CP4 bypass kit

Has Ford ever addressed the HPFP fail in later model (2012-2017) trucks? How common is the bypass kit-do lots of folks go this route?

The bypass kits do not seem to be that common on this site because most here seem to think that their brand makes a perfect truck and modifying it is heresy. Outside of these forums in the diesel modding world, these kits are very common. My brother was going to do it on his 2012 F350 before he decided to trade it in on a 2014 Ram 2500.


    Since you’re bashing the owners of their perceived perfect truck why are your advertising your brother trading a truck for a 2014 Ram.

    Sounds like your brand marketing again!

    ^^^ I agree it provides a level of insurance. I usually spend as little on insurance as I can get away with. There is a very low percentage chance that you will see any return on that $300 but I guess if you do it could save you a few thousand dollars.
  • Isn't the bypass kit about $300? It's cheap insurance. I wouldn't want a diesel with a CP4 in it, but if I had one the bypass kit would be a no brainer.
