Wait... I'm confused. I thought this thread was about the 6.4. I didn't think the 6.4 had a Bosch system. I thought it was the Siemens 2 point high pressure system. Am I wrong?

If your 2011 pump goes south, then yes, you will get the most current updated version of Bosch HPFP, with the latest goodies on it. Does it mitigate or solve the problem of bad initial design? Hard to say, Bosch is using every one of us as a beta tester.
Let's see how bad Gen 1 is when Bosch comes out with the CP 5.1 and 5.2 family of HPFP, and how long it takes before they cr*p out.

Because the other two don't come with a never break down guarantee. When I drive by the Chrysler and GM service bays, I notice they are just as busy as the ford garage. No starving techs... now, if I was looking for a diesel, the rep of the cp4 would be on my mind, no doubt..

When human lives get lost and someone gets killed by a failed HPFP... the lawyers are going to have a field day with Robert Bosch with offering a HPFP that was not "fit and suitable for use" on north American D975 520 wear scar micron fuel. It's called fraud. Their pump requrements demand 460 micron fuel, America's fuel is 520 micron wear scar, not enough lubricity, yet they still brought the pump to market here in the USA, knowing the lack of lubricity in our fuel.

ninerbikes I answered your survey so what did you come up with. Do they replace the old pump with a new improved pump if there is problem? What do you think of stanadyne?

You said "NHTSA" was going to do something way back then. You seem like you think they still will.
I said way back then "no they won't" and still say they won't.
How long are we going to have to wait until the NHTSA does something?
Bottom line is: First gen Bosch pumps are junk just like first gen Bosch LB7 injectors. That was a 5 grand job.
Did NHTSA do anything about first gen LB7 Bosch injectors? Nope. Did they do anything about 6.0 diesels? Nope. Are they going to do anything about first gen CP4 pumps? NOPE!!
Jump up and down all you want about this pump issue. It's good exercise. :B
