2021 Ram 6.7L CP3 is back

[AH64ID]

I had heard about the information relating to the CP3 in the 2021 so I visited the dealership this morning(Dec 21) and they had one SO 2021 2500 on the lot.
Here are the pictures of the CP3 on the engine.
This is at Dennis Dillon in Caldwell, Id.

Interesting, it has the FAWR/RAWR for a Mega Cab but the window sticker says crew cab.

Well I hope my HO shows up with a CP3.

Boy, did I come out smelling like a rose. In November I ordered a 2021 3500 HO not knowing it would have a CP3 on it. The stars aligned for once. I should get it some time in late January 21.

 

[Beach Bomb]

I can’t wait my HO shows up soon, it’s nice feeling confident about the truck you ordered.

We will see how my CP4 survives. If it fails I guess warranty better step up.

Just an observation, if all the CP4's are so bad, why is the failure rate so low on the Ecodiesels? Shouldn't they be similar in the failure rate? They have been out there for five years longer than the 6.7, more than enough time for high mileage failures to show up.

The Ecodiesel engines don’t stay together long enough for the Cp-4 to fail... Lol

No.....there’s so many die hard FoMoCo lovers out there that some would repurchase a new FoMoCo with a 6.0L and CP4 just because it has a Blue Oval on it.

It’s some good kool-aid. I don’t get it, but their marketing works.

i guess your right. theres still a bunch of people dumping thousands of dollars into those 6.0 turd buckets. supposebly you can make them bullet proof but you have get two morgages on your house to do it. now thats some hard core dedication

I would call that: Amateur Hour. At least the 6.0 hand grenade always gets a turbo...

To get a room at the asylum of hardcore dedication you have to really love a underpowered forgotten diesel. One that been in production since 1982, is still in production, and considered disposable/expendable. (30,000 mile take out = scrap metal!) It's used in Military Hummers... generators and some GM civilian stuff. You can spend some coin on a Hummer. An engine swap to something else is like death: the easy way out. The only way to get deeper is a love of an Olds 5.7 Diesel (or any of the two rarer Olds V6/V8 diesels) as parts are hard to find. Also a Toro-flow diesel... They both got a wing all of their own.

We primarily work on 6.0's at the college as they do tend to break significantly more than the Cummins or Duramax. And there are tons of them out there. I agree that the customers love them, and some spend tons of money on the trucks. But I have to say that once we do the oil and EGR cooler they are a pretty reliable engine. The secret is oil changes, and it is very interesting that the trucks we repair that have actually failed generally look terrible inside. The ones we do that have not failed and the customer wants us to keep it from failing look great inside. The system they use to drive the injectors has to have clean cool oil. And when they get it they are pretty trouble free. And I have to admit, in that generation of truck the power is smooth, and the transmission is hands down better shifting than the RE.

Minus the 6.0/cp4 bit, I resemble that remark

View attachment 125929 21s are hitting the lot with the CP3. I’ve seen a few pictures and videos with build dates of 11/20 and old reliable is back.

Is it the same part#\specs CP3 as used in the 2018’s?

It only shows CP4 in the parts system for 2021, so if anyone can get a VIN we can see if it shows up by VIN.
