CP4 bypass kit
Has Ford ever addressed the HPFP fail in later model (2012-2017) trucks? How common is the bypass kit-do lots of folks go this route?

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.
Edit: It could be that if you just have your truck towed to the nearest Ford dealer and pay the bill when its time to pick up the truck you'll be dinged with a 10 - 12k repair bill but I know that is not how I would handle it if it were my truck.
As I said before.... When it happens, you may not be in a position to shop around.
Besides. even the lower numbers some of you are stating..... Are still BIG numbers.
