CP4 DELETE!!! HOW TO INSTALL DCR Pump

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Order yours today! www.thoroughbreddiesel.com/67f-dcr/

[@John5ive]

I've had this video in my watch later list since about the time in came out. I've watched it a couple times, while getting ready to order my pump. This video is how business is earned and the reason I ordered my pump from you; this past Friday. It's a huge amount of work to produce a video like this and in doing so, give guys like me the confidence to do this job myself. I hate bringing my truck to someone else for work. I have an account with you now. The pump won't be my last order!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thank you for the very nice compliment! Welcome to the family!

[@John5ive]

​@thoroughbreddiesel After many delays for weather, I'm working outside, I finished my pump replacement and started the truck at around 9pm last night. I drove it for a few minutes. No codes, no issues. It cranked a little longer than normal but that's because the high side had to build pressure. Thank again for this video!!!

[@samuelcampos3777]

Same reason i ordered through your company as well

[@MrMan5014]

I just don’t understand why Ford hasn’t recalled this pump and just kept using it knowing full well it was a very expensive failure point?…from what I can tell they’re still using it!

[@cgrobe21]

Because they have a contract for xx amount of years with a certain manufacturer that they just have to use. Cannot breach contract. The cp4 has been revised but still the same design and failures. Just lesser the common. They won't redesign an entirely new pump to replace it. All diesels are dealing with the same cp4 junk.

[@cgrobe21]

Until ford creates a new engine design it'll still remain the same..

[@MikeF421]

​@@cgrobe21Unless they've recently changed again, I believe Ram only used the cp4.2 for 2 years, '19, '20? and changed pumps again for the '21? model year.

Did the full install. Followed every step very carefully. Was super stoked. Followed startup procedure. Crank no start. 😢Super bummed.. *** update. The S&S Tech Guys were helpful and I found that I missed a torque on one of the fittings. Runs great! thanks guys.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Call us 859 737 4966. On a no start after install, we want to look at lift pump pressure to make sure you haven’t had a failure there. What was the original reason you changed the CP4?

[@USMC142]

@@thoroughbreddiesel thank you. I emailed S&S. Che responded by having me crack the #4 injector line. I had my doubts but cracking that line revealed that I didn't torque the crossover line fitting on the main rail (oddly enough it didn't leak until I cracked the #4 line). Torqued both fittings as needed and she started right up. right after that we did a 2k mile road trip w/trailer and so far everything is great. Thanks to S&S for all the help. I had bought the DCR back in august and just never got around to installing it.

[@Doc.Holiday]

I have 231,000 miles on my 11, 6.7PS. I just returned to the lower 48 from Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, Canada on the Arctic Ocean via Montana. I live on the Left Coast. I talk to 6.7 owners wherever I go. The Alaska Highway had hundreds, maybe thousands of 6.7s pulling large trailers up and down steep grades to and from Alaska. My 6.7 is stock other than being S&S bypass kit, just in case I’m wrong. I talked to the Ford Diesel Mechanic in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory on the Alaska Highway and asked about the number of CP4 failures he sees. According to him it is an all but non-existent problem and so far I AGREE, as long as the Bosh CP4 pump pumps diesel, NOT DEF, NOT WATER, NOT AIR and NOT GASOLINE it does its job and keeps on keeping on. I have yet to talk to anyone with a CP4 failure. Does anyone know the percentage of CP4 failures vs. the number of pumps in service that have ONLY PUMPED DIESEL FUEL and not otherwise been contaminated? I’ll wager it is a small, almost non-existent percentage.

[@tprice3450]

Yeah. I agree. I threw a disaster prevention kit on mine just for my piece of mind. I use HotShot Diesel Extreme every 6K and HotShot Every Day Diesel at every fill-up. 340K and, knock on wood, no problems yet.

[@swelteringg]

Looks like S&S could save a ton of install effort by giving 3 new studs for mounting the pump, updated with a small hex head and the ability to install them after setting the pump in place. I couldn't tell from the video if they stick out far enough to thread by hand after pump placement with the existing studs.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

They do include the new stud but working off the bottom one has you pigeon holed into using the studs. I see your thought, goal of the finished product was to have as much OE here as possible. Install gets difficult there though, you are right. Just take your time.

[@ed389]

Great video and info. I just finished my DCR install. Thank you for.sharing your skills. Was a big help, I am a visual learner not an instruction reader. Truck fired out on first start and sounded great and drove it a bit to make sure no leaks any where. No leaks. Did take me a little more than I expected mostly.because I cleaned all the items .

Great Video. I bought one here in Florida on thursday and put it in over the weekend. Your Video helped immensely, especially the side bar telling the time for each segment. I did get a couple of codes about communication from the ecm when I first started it up but I cleared them in my ezlynk and so far nothing has came back up. One other thing that might be worth mentioning is both the cam gear and the pump gear had 2 marks on them so make sure you take a picture with your phone before you pull the pump gear off.

When installing the new DCR pump, is it necessary to install the disaster prevention kit? or you only have to install the DCR thanks

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Only need to install the DCR. The DPK is designed to work with a CP4 truck, it actually has no functionality with the DCR pump.

[@andrewmabry8995]

Fantastic video! If going back in with a new cp4,instead of the dcr, is timing the cp4 crucial? 2013 6.7 powerstroke. I know there's some mention of it in the video, but I've read and been told that timing cp4 is necessary as it relates to injector timing.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Thanks! It will already be “timed” as it is a keyed driveshaft. We aren’t finding timing to be as critical on the early trucks, but again with it being keyed, it will be timed anyway.

[@GREELEY305]

My cp4 went on me. Heads up for all 6.7 owners, mine was a 2016 well maintained, tuned and deleted for longevity. Absolutely no warning motor just cut off while driving. I ordered this S&S DCR pump. Question is it necessary to change all rails, fuel line or can they just be cleaned?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

YES! We cannot stress this enough. If you pull the cp4 FCA out and there is metal there, you need to change all high side components. Injectors, lines, rails, lift pump, and clean the tank.

[@NicManGun]

So did you manually turn the crankshaft till the timing marks were too dead center?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Yes.

[@RockyMountainHunters]

Even though it is not needed could you still run the cp4 disaster prevention kit for S&S Diesel with their DCR pump?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Not the full DPK, just the return filter. It’s not necessary but if you have it you can leave that filter in place and it doesn’t hurt a thing. Only helps.

[@jaacina]

Would it be excessive to replace parts like the vacuum pump or other bits other than the required gaskets while taking it apart to the extent required to replace the pump? Or is that just spending extra money?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Replacing those parts are never a bad idea. Its all according to what you want to do.

[@tprice3450]

I'm gonna put a Mishimoto radiator and intercooler in this spring. That's going to encompass removing a lot of the parts in front of the engine. While in there, I'm going to inspect EVERYTHING I can get my hands on and replace or rebuild anything I deem necessary on a truck with over 350K miles, including belts, belt tensioner, vacuum pump, both water pumps and both alternators. I dont want to tear all that apart more than once if I can help it.

[@plherrington9947]

What happens to the disaster prevention line on the metering valve that was on the old cp4 that ties into the fuel filter?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

The metering unit line will not be used, but you can retain the return filtration.

My new F250 Platinum should be here in a week or two. This is my first diesel truck and the most expensive vehicle i have ever purchased. I am pretty handy and have rebuilt a few gas engines and built a few hot rods over the yers. I was under the impression that just doing regular fule filter changes would be enough to extend the life the CP4 pump. After watching a few videos on the DCR pump I am not so confident now. Should i just do the DCR upgrade right away? Or at least the disater kit you mentioned? I was going to tint the windows first. LOL. But this seems more important.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Surely it will make it long enough to tint the windows first, you cant be riding around in a coke bottle! Congrats on your new truck. I think it will come into question on the new new trucks out there are you willing to potentially void your warranty with installing a DCR? Although they shouldn’t do it, a dealership could very well black label you for it. While in warranty, keep your fuel filters changed, use good fresh fuel and consider doing the disaster prevention kit.

[@stuartbrazile]

Use the Motorcraft cetane booster at every fill up. It has a lubricity additive that helps prolong the life of the cp4. I just completed the DCR conversion today and my cp4 lasted 150k miles without failing. I truly believe the cetane booster is the reason it never failed. I plan to continue using it with the DCR. Also, don’t ever “upgrade” the plastic factory fuel filters with steel ones. When water gets in your fuel the steel filters will rust. The plastic factory filters can’t rust!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Wade says that in the video

[@Ian_SS]

During the DCR validation testing for 2011-2019 model years, S&S did not find a benefit to timing the DCR pump to the engine. However, for 2020+ model years there is a small NVH benefit to timing the pump specifically when the ECM commands a certain rail pressure control mode at light engine load. For this reason and to retain product commonality across the model years, S&S recommends to time the DCR on all model years according to the S&S installation instructions. A future change to the DCR pump in Q4 2023 will add a roll pin to the pump shaft at which point the timing process will match the OEM Ford CP4 timing procedure for all model years.

[@rickhoagland8571]

Doom and gloom aside, what is the actual failure rate of the CP4 percentage wise? Does anyone actually know or is everyone on the internet just blindly feeding off the fears of a few actual documented failures?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

We don’t get the platform wide failure numbers, however it was great enough for two companies to (Dodge and GM) to stop using CP4’s. They can argue all the “this isn't as bad as it seems” that they want, fact remains, when these pumps do fail, send their failures downstream to the rest of your high side components. Gets expensive.

Mine as well, I’m looking at close to $9k in parks & for a shop to repair.

[@jakec7432]

One site claimed the CP3 had a 1% failure rate and the CP4 had a 7% failure rate due to how the fuel flows as lubrication first and then as fuel to be consumed by the motor. With only 3k of these DCR pumps out there, anyone installing this is a test mule.
