Joining the Diesel world
It looks like I am getting rid of my 2008 F250 with the V10 and getting a new 2016 F350 Diesel. Can you kind folks give me some advice where I can go looking for information that I will need in order...

I think what Drittal is also trying to say is that the CP4 is more sensitive to contamination and wear over the CP3.
The CP4 has two pistons pushing out less volume of fuel at 29,000 psi while the CP3 has three pistons pushing out more volume of fuel at 24,000 psi. With more pressure, even the smallest of particles can wreak havoc on the fuel system. Add in the fact that the amount of pressure is being pushed by two pistons instead of three with less fuel to carry off the heat. Common sense will tell you which would be more sensitive to contamination and wear out quicker. That is like putting 20 psi of boost on a 4 cylinder engine versus just 15 psi on a V6. With that much psi in a small package, it is also a no brainer to believe that it going to grenade when it finally does go.
This. Go to the BMW, VW, GM truck, and Ford truck forums and just look at all the CP4 issues and CP4 failures.
You don't find near the amount of CP3 failures.
All are susceptible to dry fuel, contamination and water failure, but the CP4 much more so.
