I would not let it bother me since they are not going to have this pump unless the issues were resolved. Yes it has been very quiet for a while with Ford pump stories.

Yet, you last February:

Now as mentioned ya may want to look at trucks from the last 5 model years. IMHO the RAM trucks have proven to be very dependable with their electronics and drivetrains. Also they have the gold standard Bosch CP3 injection pump. GM and Ford used the CP4, GM gave up on that with so many warranty claims they now use the Denso pump.

Seems odd that the CP4 is suddenly fine in your opinion because Ram is using it now. I think it's still a steaming pile of ****, FWIW. Even if they've gotten somewhat more reliable in newer iterations, they still grenade the fuel system when they fail which makes it a much more significant fix compared to a failed CP3 unit. It's just a bad design, end of story.

I never said it was fine. I said it's been quiet for a while on the Ford's.

I also said you have 5 years and 100k to decide if they have a good product as I know RAM will stand behind it.

I also said I would consider a 2020 RAM, NOT a 2019. Many reasons for that.

Do I wish they could have stayed with the CP3? Sure but it was not possible. Do I think the pump will prove to be dependable? YES as it has been around for a few years and the issues have disappeared.

Remember the 07.5 6.7 issues? Sure as HE!! did not make all 6.7's bad as they fixed the issues.
