Our Biggest Install Yet! DITCH Your Unreliable CP4 Pump For Something Better (Fleece CP3 Conversion)

[@Skyhawk172m1]

Just completed the CP3 conversion on 8/10/23 Inspected the pump regulator and fortunately there was no metal contamination. Also per Fleeces recommendations I replaced the left hand fuel rail regulator and the entire injector return line system, Will say I did have some challenging moments during this project but it all worked out in the end. Even though I installed an Airdog lift pump a year ago and the instructions provided a way to remove the factory fuel filter I opted to keep the factory filter for more filtration. Truck started right up after 2 hand primes with the factory filter primer. I immediately took it out for a short test drive and it ran perfect. After making sure the coolant was topped of I to it back out for another run. After getting back home I connected the scanner and no codes popped up. Put DPF into forced regen which took about 40min. The next day I hooked up my 34ft. 5th Wheel and took it on a 10 mile drive with the scanner connected and it ran good and no codes. Very happy with the Fleece kit and would recommend this to any LML owner to do the conversion especially for the piece of mind. If you have some mechanical skills and a decent inventory of tools it can be done. I am 76yrs. old and a retired aircraft mechanic so I guess I might have had a little more background in maintenance but after watching this video twice it gave me the confidence to tackle the job.

Awesome video. Just completed the install on my 2014 LML. The accuracy and comprehensiveness of this video was a huge help. It saved me time, and gave me peace of mind, as I was able to go back to the video to recheck my work. Fantastic job guys, thanks heaps.

Very impressed with your video. No foul language and by far the most detailed video I have ever seen. Awesome job. BUT now I think it is time to sell this truck if that is what has to be done to repair it. haha

[@rudylong5454]

Thank you for creating such detailed video! Huge time saver! Seeing you laying over the engine bay made look up topside creepers and I bought one, man, that was a game changer. I couldn't imagine leaning over the engine for the better part of 2 days without it. Thank you again! One more thing, I ended up taking the heat shield off the backside of the turbo, the 3 bolts weren't rusted and it made getting access to the devil bolt on the high pressure crossover a little easier.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Glad I could help!

[@txtucker5840]

Instead of trying to get to that tricky bolt on the throttle body I took the two bracket bolts off further down 13mm by the glow plug control and wormed it out. A lot easier to get to.

[@jamesclark7248]

Thanks for this video! I'm at 197,000 with my factory CP4. However, I've replaced most of the EPA gear. Even that doesn't bother me as much as the whole limp mode thing. First time was 130 miles out of Whotehorse, YK enroute to Alaska. Last time was on I95 in South Carolina. Both major safety issues due to the unreasonably short mile allowance.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

You're welcome!

[@Skyhawk172m1]

I just purchased the latest CP3 Fleece kit for my 2016 LML in July 2023. They made a major change in how the dosing lines connect. It now has two flex lines that run from a special banjo bolt on the top of the pump that connects to what they call a cascade block. Also the temp. sensor in mounted into the cascade block that will allow it to function. Also in the instructions when done it states to do a forced regen which I don't see where that was mentioned in the older kits. I bought a scan tool just for the regen. Probably going to start this project next Monday the 31st' of July,2023. I haven't had a failure of the CP4 with 40,000 miles on the truck but this will give me peace of mind hopefully.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Hope the install goes well.

[@Thomas88-_-]

I live in Canada and I know I must sound cheap but God you look at what's in the kit and your like 1100$ cad really. 2800 with the pump... 1100 for a lift pump. Stuff starts to ad up quick. I'm not poor but these prices sometimes make you wonder. I called a shop to get this stuff quoted asked for "emissions upgrades " and cp3 pump . Told me over 10k.

[@Jcrit96]

Ford and dodge also run the cp4 pump

[@ZR1Terror]

I think all American diesel trucks use that pump.

[@Demonlord468]

@@ZR1Terror Ford does not use a Common Rail Pump for its fuel it instead relies on Oil Pressure from a High Pressure Oil Pump sending fuel to the injectors. And its a lot easier to get to and work on than this for sure. These are also found on Cummins Engines though which I was not aware however it is WORLDS easier non the less on the Cummins Engine than a Duramax. Duramax is one of the hardest engines to work on for just about anything ive ever had the misfortune of working on. And ill admit as much as I love the Ford 7.3L there's some things on those that are a Pig to work on. Cummins is very easy to work on for most repairs just because of the inline engine design compared to the V8 design on the Ford and Chevy engines which give you tons more room to work with. Especially anything to do with the Turbo which is piss easy to work on compared to Ford or Chevy.

[@ZR1Terror]

@@Demonlord468 a friend was telling me new Duramax’ are extremely expensive to delete.

[@Demonlord468]

@@ZR1Terror They indeed are but, to be fair just about everything is expensive when it comes to Diesel Trucks. And delete service is no exception no matter what brand to be honest. Best of just not buying anything new with that junk of it if you can but, in this market thats much easier said than done for sure. Its exactly why used Trucks with hundreds of thousands of miles on them without all that shit sell for so much right now actually.

[@jimsdieselshop]

So the nut is not flush with the new CP3 pump. I used a ittle loctite to ensure gear doesnt slip. I know on cummins isx engine is standard procedure on none keyway tappered shafts. what your not explaining is the injector return plug that comes with the kit. Or u can explain the procedure to eliminate the stock fuel filter if you want to install a Air dog sys,

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Yes the nut does not flush up completely but of the thousands of these we have sold, we haven’t had one come apart. With this truck, the plug is not used. And we explain in this video which line to use with a aftermarket lift pump that will eliminate the stock fuel filter housing.

[@thatgsr8556]

I am actually in the middle of doing the install, the only thing that i have noticed that is different, the kit i ordered through you guys, and my CP3 didn't come with that dosing line coming off of it like yours does in the video when you are swapping everything over from the CP4 to the CP3, so I am a little confused on what I should do about that, other than that, awesome video!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thanks! The updated kit doesn’t use the dosing lines, and gets fuel supply from the return side. This is updated in the current instructions.

How long does a cp4 last? I have 130.000 on it now i want to put the cp3 in. I have a 2015 Duramax

[@rickbrooks194]

Great video . What I find odd is the fact that GM knew there where problems with the CP4 clear back to around 2013 on those LML's but yet continued to use them instead of changing back to CP3's or redesigning one to put out the proper fuel pressure that the system was designed for with improved build quality and durability . The one your fixing is a 2016 model ,,, so all that time later and they never even tried to improve that problem . It seems to me that they didn't have the customer in mind too much on that , as that can be a very expensive repair for a customer if that CP4 fails and spreads metal shavings all through the fuel system . I think that that's pretty shitty on their part . I own a 2013 LML 6.6 V8 Turbo Duramax 3500HD Crew Cab , and I'm seriously considering swapping to CP3 on mine for preventative maintenance . Currently sitting at 90.000 miles on it right now . Thanks for the video . Nicely done !

@Mike Garcia that sucks! I finished mine a couple days ago. 18 hours from start to finish, taking my time and being extremely thorough!

[@T18skyguy]

My install is coming along, but the balance line wants to rub the back of the CP3. The holes are lining up. In the video it looks like there is a line support on the back of the CP3, but there is no place to bolt one on mine. Any ideas or suggestions? I dealt with the "devil bolt" by going to the hardware store and buying one a 1/4 inch shorter. Much easier to get back in and more than enough to hold what it needs to.

Curious, are you a professional or shade tree mechanic? This was a great video, but some of seemed pretty daunting.

@@HIghlander03304 I don't do this for a living, just work on my Duramax and a few other race cars. It was a tedious job and requires a ton of patience tho.

If my duramax is already tuned and deleted do I buy the non emissions compliant cp3 and how do I go about calibrating it like it says on the website

[@ashtonnelson9474]

You have to get updated tune revisions from where you got your tunes

2$k apx cost for this repair?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

You'll need to call your local mechanic.

Avaliable for ford at all ?

[@bobevans6590]

Why did all the manufacturers drop cp3 to the 4? So many problems with the 4 why would they drop something that works?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Most of them were for Race applications. That’s why this particular kit is kinda of a big deal.

[@gadsdenconsulting7126]

We can thank emissions nonsense for the birth of the CP4...

[@Yaboifootchie]

Cp4 more easily supports emissions standards to include a 9th injector for the DPF

[@Flowtester1]

I have an LML engine and I’m getting fuel in my oil. On you tube I have seen it can be injectors and injector return lines but that’s on a LB7. I can’t find info on an LML. Do you have any suggestions. I guess I’m asking can it be the CP4 pump or is it most likely an injector problem. I’m not getting a lot of fuel in my crankcase but any is to much.

[@treighewy1462]

Injection pump won't cause that unless it's straight blown out lol, sounds like injectors or washed out cylinder

[@Flowtester1]

@@treighewy1462 yeah the washed out cylinder scares me. Injectors don’t scare me as much but I know nothing about these duramax engines or any Diesel engines. But I do like what I’m learning about them.

I now see why people are giving up on Diesel engines That reminds me of dismantling an entire house to change a light bulb. Can today’s engineering be any worse than this? Absolutely unbelievable.

[@Vickvineager]

You can thank the epa, dep & liberals for all this useless junk on modern diesels these days.

[@audimaster5000]

@@Vickvineager Cummins lobbyists, for example lobbied to mandate new legislation based on their DEF fluid system. They were attempting to stack the deck to make it impossible for the other Diesel engine manufacturers to meet stricter emissions standards where they’d either have to adopt the the same DEF system or figure out a way to work around the Cummins patents on such a system to meet the standards. This isn’t a liberal or political party thing whatsoever. As a matter of fact, it’s often the GOP that makes more provisions to corporate lobbyists on such matters. There’s a lot more examples of this type of lobbyists and corporate shenanigans that’s been going on for decades concerning what we then see the EPA enforce. How about that!

[@audimaster5000]

@@Vickvineager And if ones interested, it’s public to see what automotive and engine manufacturers spend on lobbyists alongside a short description of the topic of interest for various things. Remember when the guy who invented the Stop Saw table saw break was lobbying to attempt to force all table saw manufacturers to be mandated to use his patented invention on their future saws? Seatbelts being installed and mandatory in every modern car was similar but successfully lobbied thing back in the day. It could be argued either way for the ‘good’ in lobbying such things like all this. I’m not trying to get into that but simply just attempting to spread awareness that there’s often more than meets the eye with such things like epa regulations or legislation be it from any particular political party or government agency.

[@martinnormand7458]

@@audimaster5000 you would have to provide proof that corporate lobbyist lobbied for tougher EPA standards. Where can this information be found, I would love to research this! Makes sense in many cases but not this one.

Any not mechanical diesel is gonna be complex especially V8s, diesel is just a different animal, that CP3 pump alone is a couple grand

great job!

Thanks!

awesome video. I was going to look at an 11 lml sometime this week, but this changed my mind.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Glad I could help.

[@Trike.]

It seems every truck manufacturer used that CP4 all the way up to 2018 . Just seems no way around it unless you want to go with gas .

[@Mikefngarage]

FYI there is a fix for the duramax. But the FORD... Nope. pump wont fit. Duramax is the best option IMO. Just do the job one time and your good for many miles. I hear same pump on dodge too cp4. gotta change it no matter what you buy unless you go earlier than 2011 or later than 2016. and on the ford.... Just would not go there myself.

[@Tlloyd56]

I ended up getting a 2007.5 duramax.

[@Trike.]

@@Mikefngarage just finished my C3 From CP4 conversion , not fun , very tight spaces, had to have alot of different tools , no rush and took my time , but saved 2000.00 in labor . For what it worth what would a tow cost when our 800 miles away from home with a 30 ft toy hauler and a messed up truck that needs 10,000 dollars to fix now on top of getting me off the side of the road, or worse , out in the middle of a desert . That what made me push though to get it done . I primed the the fuel lines and it started up right away . Oh God ! how do you clean a fuel tank that has metal shavings in it . No thanks , The conversion done is better than thinking about doing all that.
