Ram CP3 swap
This article will mainly interest RAM 6.6 owners but it does mention the CP4 bypass for Ford 6.7 owners at the end. It is about swapping the CP4 for a CP3 as a precautionary measure

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.
