Ram CP3 swap

Give it a rest dude and stand up like a man and admit Ford puts profits way before their customers.

As for the CP4.2 pump it is as sold as the CP3 pump of yesteryear! But some of you and keep believing what you want.

Capt Don,
The title of this thread is "Ram CP3 Swap" and my comment was directed to cummins9812V.

Also just so you know there's a member here's who owned a 2015 Super Duty that had a CP4.2 pump failure and Ford covered it under warranty. Last month a 2015 Chevy Duramax CP4.2 failure occurred and initial coverage was denied, so the owner took his truck to another dealership and the latest was warranty would now cover the repair.

As for the CP4.2 being as solid as a CP3 what changes were made to make it more durable?

Plenty of CP4.2 failures on 2015+ LMLs that have them. I've seen several reports at DuramaxForum and know someone who lost a pump and all injectors personally.

At some point I swapped mine for a CP3.

Kinda like when the trucks went to DEF it was the end of the world!

To bad you didn't own one of those special +07.5 6.7 cummins trucks to reinforce your loyalty. My BIL had a special 09 cummins and sold it after 9 months of continuous problems. He went back to one of the good 5.9 trucks.

Doubt I would have had issues since I don't grocery get my trucks. But yes they did have issues but they DID take care of their customers and fix the problem UNLIKE another Manufacturer.

Yes fixing the problem was perform a manual regen, clean the turbo, told him to run a fuel additive and run the exhaust brake all the time. They basically told him to delete the truck otherwise all they could do was the same service. By 09 the so called fixes were in play for this engine. It even had a shrader valve on the turbo so it could be easily flushed. At ~60k miles you had to service the EGR cooler and valve. Those were some fine fixes alright by this manufacturer.

Blue Tec... You know the name! :R

Cummins named it the Blue Tec.... so the other blue guys would have something to crow about.

I'm waiting for multiple reports of CP 4.2 failures on the Ram Cummins...before I buy into the hysteria. Have seen none so far...still early...i know.

Exactly. It isn’t a problem until it happens to you. I will not give up my truck with the trusty CP3 to play Russian roulette.
