    My company cars have TPMS in them. I have been alerted twice when the tire pressure was dropping because I picked up some metal on the road. One of those times really saved me, rush hour and busy traffic.

    It just amazes me they can get 10x the hp out of 6.7 ci.
    And only 1 turbo. Albeit, a really big one.

    you are killing the planet.................well maybe your wood burning offsets your carbon credits. When you get serious about diesel you will go to a CUMMINS.

    see that is the problem, reading comprehension, no where in my post did I say Dodge or Ram. I simply stated if you want a real diesel you want a CUMMINS.
    I am not here to debate brands of truck each has their own strong points.
    So again if you want a real diesel you want a CUMMINS.

    Don't get your panties in a bunch, it goes without saying that the only PICKUP truck a cummins comes in is a dodge. So it's a given.
    It's no small task to transplant a cummins into a ford but is doable. And to end this that is why I included the emojis.
    I'm not trying to get into a brand pizzing match.

    Thanks, brother!
    I love my Fords, Mrs. Overkill loves them too, she's the one who really pushed me to buy it, she loves it more than I do!!

    Thanks Kevin! Finally a proper mule to pull the FHC Rapid Response wagon to the GTG's!!

    Thanks Tim! It's a tank! Crew cab with 8ft bed, it's in two different zip codes, but I'm getting used to it.....

    Thanks, Eric! I wasn't too picky about the color, it was a good deal that I couldn't pass up.....

    It's called Blue Jean Blue, IIRC, and it's grown on me. Already have some upgrades in mind.....

    At least the turning radius is not terrible on the SD's...that truck (CC, 8') in the OBS Fords took 5 acres to turn around!

    What's everyone's opinions on these Bosch CP4 high-pressureally fuel pump failures? The Big 3 all used that pump for several years.

    I bought a disaster prevention kit (DPK) and have yet to install it. Seems to legitimately help save your rails/injectors in the instance of the CP4 failing, from all of these research I've done.

    I'm understanding that these pumps begin failing mainly due to improper fuel filter changeout procedures (people cranking the engine without cycling the lift pump to purge the air out of the lines), as well as lift pump (primary pump) failures and issues, water in fuel, lack of lubricity in fuel, etc.....

    Anyone have a CP4 fail on them?
