Well, after LOTS of research, test drives, discussions, etc. it has come down to choosing between a 2015 Ford Super Duty w/6.7 PSD and a 2016 Ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins. Option wise and price wise they are about even
Which one runs the CP4 injection pump?
Done with arrangement.
My understanding is both Ford and GM run the Bosch 4.2 fuel pump. Seems to have had lots of problems a couple years ago, still looking in to more recent failures.
That's correct, and the Cummins still uses the CP3. I heard they made some improvements on the CP4 but I think the underlying issue of massive damage when a failure does occur is still a problem. In other words, perhaps it's less likely to fail, but if it does it's still going to blow up the fuel system to the tune of a $10-12k repair. CP3 failures can occur too but the difference is they don't damage anything - you just swap in a new pump and you're on your way.
They're both awesome and capable trucks. It's your call whether you want to roll the dice on the injection pump or not. I decided I didn't want to take that risk, but then I also liked some other things about the Ram better too so it wasn't really that tough of a call or me. A reasonable person can prefer any of the big diesels right now - they're all really impressive rigs.
