The failures of the early CP4's both 1 and 2's was the piston with a roller follower getting turned sideways to the pumps cam lobe. Bosch was unwilling to pay the holder of a patent to keep the piston from turning in the bore.

The Metal that contaminate the fuel system was from the roller and cam lobe.

They have been working to fix the issue.

This page shows a picture of a damaged roller. Fig 3

This may be the Edelbrock patent that Bosch was unwilling to pay royalties to use.

What do you consider early pumps?

2016 Ecodiesel cp4.2 failure Clicky

2016 Duramax cp4.2 failure clicky

2016 Powerstroke cp4.2 failure clicky

I could waste half the day posting this ****, they haven't made any changes to the pump to prevent the piston from turning in the bore...

Unless, Cummins installed a failure disaster device to save the rest of the fuel system... Aftermarket has them out for the Powerstroke Disaster prevention

Is there anything out on the aftermarket for the Duramax that operates as a failure disaster device? I would be interested in something that provides some peace of mind against a $10k repair bill.

adding a lift pump is your best bet. but spending north of $600 for piece of mind isn't something i'd do. if someone is that worried about it double the money a put a cp3 on the truck. 100's of thousands of these trucks are out there running without issue.
