After reading Buzzcuts post that would be the last Ford I would buy $12 to $16 to replace a fuel pump. Anyway as far as reliabiliy this is #6 cummins for me right from my first 1990 to my 2018 not bragging but no engine or tranny issues ever.
not the just the pump. you have to pull out and replace all the fuel lines, filters, injectors, fuel tank etc to clear all metal debris from the engine and fuel system.
I am replacing the pump to avoid grenading the engine and incurring that cost
Buzzcut. Check out the S&S diesel CP4 bypass kit. It's a modification to the pump that keeps a grenaded pump from pushing the contaminated fuel downstream to the engine.
I do t have experience with it, but it appears to be absolutely ingenious and how the CP4 should have been built to begin with.
$350 is a cheap alternative to trashing all the injectors.
I wonder if the 4.2 has this design or not???
