Got the white metallic platinum F250 4x4 yesterday. Pulled the spare tire and wheel I had in the bed, adapter holder for the 5th wheel and the mounting plate for my off road jack out of the Ram to put on this new truck. Wheels, tires, BDS levelling kit with the Fox shocks, bed hard cover to be put on tomorrow hopefully then off to NM.

This beast needs no tuner lol, it had 21 miles on it when I took delivery now has almost 60 21.2 mpg average and it runs real hard. Bar is set imho too high for Fiat Chrysler on the next generation Ram but we will see. Not even going to comment on the barbs tossed my way on how I drive lol. Hey I drive in areas that would make the folks that made those comments soil their Depends ..

And you wonder Lets hope you don't have those problems, I know its hard to believe that Cummins could possibly have a problem.

They are all great trucks now. Hard to go wrong unless one has a CP4 issue.

Seems you never fail to bring up the CP4 issue with the ford, just wondering how many have had this issue with the Cummins the OP had. You do know about those that throw rocks that live in a glass house.

Head gasket problems? Not unless It's tunef

The head bolt stretch is not common but it does happen. The tech has done this replacement many times. In fact, had another in line (big boy DRW) to be worked on that had a suspected HG failure. Imagine he or she towed a lot mine did not ever tow, hauls loads to the ranch on occasion.

Karma is a tough thing to deal with

Question for you. Why did GM dump the CP4-2 for a Japanese injection pump and why has Cummins stayed with the more reliable CP3 pump? Why are there kits to retrofit CP4-2 vehicles to CP3 pumps?

Also GM silently fixed CP4-2 failures under warranty while Ford has tried to shift the blame on owners using bad fuel and denying warranties. Which is really stupid on Ford's part.

Did the DRW have a tuner ???, or did the many the tech said he has done.

Yes, Karma is a *****, and can bite you in the rear

You know the answer to that, the CP4 has been problematic , and it seems according to the OP head gaskets is a problem with the Cummins, maybe not as common as the CP4, but no consolation if you are the one with the problem.

Stupid maybe, bad fuel creating rust, and not the fault of Ford, should they warrant it, GM thinks they should, Ford does not. Stupid maybe, how many Ford owners bought the 6.0 ,and turned right around ,and bought the 6.4, and turned right around ,and bought the 6.7. The Ford CP4 is not a big of issue as you Fiat loyalist's would like some to believe.

Heres the deal, its on Fords dime if the CP4 craps the bed ,and it was faulty pump, if not insurance will cover it . This pump is not earth ending, why keep belaboring the point.

It's called self inflicted and complains about it.

The CP4$ is reliable with perfect fuel, The internals of the CP4 are not forgiving to bad fuel, Also the Ford and Ecodiesel versions do NOT have a rear mounted Gear Pump these NONE GP pumps are 100% relying on the Feed/Lift pressure, The GM CP4 can produce internal CP4 pressures (75-100OEM PSI) Much Higher then Ford / Ecodiesel CP4s. the lift/feed Pressures on these Makes is 55-70PSI.

The Big problem is fuel, I have GM CP4s with 500K miles although need replacement still working, My Best Ford 300K Miles and the Ecdiesel 390K miles.

Good clean fuel with correct lube Additives and the CP4 can last. Here's the problem when it fails its a particle maker and spits damaging hard material to injectors $$$$$ in repairs

Because it is a 10-11k repair. Everything is the fuel system has to be replaced. Tank, lines, lift pump, injector pump etc.
