For those not familiar with the situation: Bypass kit

Exactly! The kit does not keep the CP4 pump from failing, it just keeps a $1k repair from becoming a $10k repair. This is why my brother was about to install the kit before he traded in his truck. His pump was showing signs of failure and he did not want a $10k repair bill like my cousin and another friend had in their PSD's. At the last minute he decided to just trade it in on a CTD.

The complete repair kit is $3300 and the book time is 18 hours so I think that 10 -12 k number that we hear of is BS. More accurate would be to say it keeps a $1k repair from becoming a $6k repair.

Repair kit EC3Z-9B246-B price varies greatly from the dealer to online stores. Then there is the factor whether your injectors and pump are still a good core or not which could increase the cost to $5k. In most cases, not all of the cores are good enough to return so you will be paying extra for that.

Labor rates also vary at our several Ford dealerships depending on severity. You also have to add time for dropping the tank along with environmental fee for disposing the diesel. This cost varies depending on how much fuel was in the tank. You also have the cost of a fuel filter change(which does not come with the kit) and to flush the lines from the tank to engine.

Add it all up along with tow charge and a 6-10% sales tax then you are very well sitting at or near $10k based on on the repair orders in our shops.

Edit: The cost of the kit varies depending on year.
EC3Z-9B246-B is from 2011-2014 and cost around $3,300 plus core
FC3Z-9B246-B is from 2014-2016 and costs around $4,300 plus core

Last year, my company has sold over 50 of the EC3Z-9B246-B and 5 of the FC3Z-9B246-B.
