    I assume I have the right discussion thread since I didn't see a category on vehicles.

    Anyone else have experience with these, or know someone who has had?

    They were used on the 2011-2022 Ford 6.7L diesel, 2011 to 2016 Duramax LML, 2020 - 2023 (not sure of the years on these) RAM pickups with the 6.7 Cummins, still used on Nissan Cummins 5.0L in the Titan pickups.

    I have a 2019 Ford 6.7L with 39K miles equipped with this pump. Been doing some on-line rubbernecking on the subject. I've had no issues to date. Was wondering if anyone else had additional information.

    The Bosch CP4.2 is a high-pressure common-rail fuel pump used widely in diesel engines (2011+ 6.7L Power Stroke, LML Duramax) featuring two pumping chambers driven by a two-lobe cam. It is known for high-pressure output but is prone to catastrophic failure due to roller lifter wear, which can contaminate the entire fuel system.

    Key Details of the Bosch CP4.2:

    Design: Radial piston pump with two high-pressure plungers.
    Applications: Primarily 2011–2019+ Ford 6.7L Power Stroke and 2011–2016 LML Duramax.
    Failure Mechanism: The cam-to-roller interface can seize, causing metal debris to contaminate injectors and the fuel tank.

    Preventive Measures: Use of a bypass kit (like the S&S Diesel Motorsport Gen2.1) or an improved pump with a finer screen, such as the Exergy Performance pump, increases protection against debris.
    Performance: Capable of supporting 650+ horsepower in upgraded forms.
