Correct, your posts have not changed in all the years I have seen them.

Just calling a spade a spade my friend. But I understand this is a big pill to swallow!

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.

LOL... I spewed coffee on my office monitor this morning when I read cummins12v98 response.

cummins12v98.... Things will never be the same around here. :W

the first thing that comes out is the stock tank. I'll put a titan 55 gal replacement in, with 7600# of payload I think I can carry a couple extra gallons of fuel.

back to the drawing board GM

Back to the drawing board for what?

here's a list of 2020 gm HD expectations

2020 Silverado HD Expectations
Platform:
New GM T1 platform
Exterior:
All-new exterior design similar to that of new Silverado 1500 that debuted for 2019 model year (see more on 2019 Silverado 1500)
Larger size and exterior footprint, along with larger cabs and beds than its predecessor
Lighter than its predecessor thanks to mixed-material design, including weight-saving measures in the frame and using aluminum swing panels (hood, doors, tailgate)
Roll-formed steel bed that’s stronger than its predecessor
Power tailgate available
New, more integrated placement of DEF tank that disguises it better than K2 models
Improved CornerStep rear bumper
New box access step ahead of the wheel wells
High-tech LED front headlights
LED lighting signatures in the front (Daytime Running Lights) and rear
Interior:
New interior design
Introduction of next-generation Chevrolet infotainment system (third-generation)
Introduction of new towing technologies
Powertrain:
Gasoline: the current models’ 6.0L V8 L96 will be replaced with a new 6.6L V-8 gasoline engine making around 400 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, mated to:
A new GM 8-speed heavy duty automatic transmission for Sierra 2500HD models
A new 9-speed Allison heavy duty automatic transmission for Sierra 3500HD models
Diesel: the 6.6L Duramax Diesel L5P engine introduced for the 2017 Sierra HD will likely carry over with 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque mated to a new 9-speed Allison heavy duty automatic transmission

I'm not seeing anything here that makes me think GM will win any contests. they still can't tow 24,000 pounds always be a day late and dollar short

They has won far more than they have lost and I cant recall a third place finish, could be be one but I dont remember it. That could change with this Cummins, but at this point there isn't a basis for the claim. The claimed specs have seldom told the whole story. So we will wait until they run the hill and see what happens. If the Dmax takes third I would agree they should go back to the drawing board. There is a first time for everything.

Looks like the spin on RAYCOR filter is gone and replaced with a canister type pre filter under the bed.

"I'm not seeing anything here that makes me think GM will win any contests. they still can't tow 24,000 pounds always be a day late and dollar short"

I'm waiting for GM to announce big tow numbers and the EXPLANATION of how they did it.

Among the current GM's there is not a combo that can tow this RV within it's SAE specs.

I just got rid of two trucks because they had the CP4. It is always in the back of your mind when and if she's going to blow... Not a great feeling.

How are you so sure that Ram is going to cover the pump if you have problems?

If it's a warranted item and it is it will be covered. 5 year 100k powertrain warranty.

No there is no demand for US Pickups, nice niche product though, that is "course not coarse." HD Pickup market Globally is a misnomer, very few are sold anywhere outside NA.What percentage Cummins who knows ? Your best bet for Cummins demand is the NA market

I would not say no demand because that would imply that there is none. There is demand and there are sales outside the US even if there few. Most regions cannot affordour trucks or their infrastructure do not support them.

Also, you cannot mix up global Cummins pickup demands for global engine demands which is what I was talking about earlier in the post you quoted. Cummins has a strong market share globally with their engines and just recently removed the EGR, "not DEF", from their global engines since global NOx emissions are less strict than US.
