Do you tow your travel trailer or fifth-wheel with a 2010-current Ford Super Duty truck equipped with the 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel engine? If so, you’re no doubt aware of the widely known problem plaguing these pickups — or, worse yet, have found yourself on the side of the road if the engine’s CP4 high-pressure fuel pump failed. It’s not a fun way to start or finish your vacation.

Fortunately, S&S Diesel Motorsport™, the common rail diesel injection experts, has teamed up with PurePower Technologies, Inc.®, the aftermarket division of longstanding fuel system manufacturer Stanadyne®, to do the impossible — collectively, they solved the widely-known CP4 high-pressure fuel pump problem plaguing these trucks.

The CP4 has a well-earned reputation for failing without warning — creating sudden power loss and taking out the expensive high-pressure fuel system in the process. Despite having to deal with being broken down on the side of the road, these truck owners will be facing fuel-system repairs that can easily exceed $10,000. The unreliable reputation is supported by recalls and lawsuits leveled at various auto manufacturers that use the CP4 in their production vehicles.

Removing the CP4 is the obvious solution — yet developing a durable plug-and-play CP4 replacement with OE fit-and-function is the game-changing catalyst created by S&S Diesel Motorsport and PurePower.

Starting off with a proven Stanadyne DCR fuel pump design, a joint team of S&S and PurePower engineers developed a variant specifically for the Ford 6.7L Power Stroke that matches the CP4 output curve and does not require any calibration changes. Combining that with OE-grade braided hose and steel fuel lines gives Ford Super Duty owners a more-reliable CP4 replacement that looks and performs like original equipment.

The two-piston DCR pump is based on a compact and modular design for easy integration, has low hydraulic and acoustical noise, features ultra-fast response times and is biofuel and low-lubricity fuel compatible. It uses a patented eccentric drive pumping technology, with pressure-lubricated cam and bushings for increased performance, efficiency and benchmark durability. The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) uses high-quality corrosion-resistant components and proprietary features to prevent large debris from entering the actuator, providing exceptional robustness for longevity and durability in harsh environmental conditions. The DCR can provide a max fuel delivery of 1,250 mm3 per revolution (25% more displacement than a CP4.2), producing plenty of flow for worn injectors that have high return.

For a target MSRP of $1,990 USD, the S&S Diesel Motorsport Ford 6.7L CP4 to DCR Pump Conversion can save Ford Super Duty truck owners $10,000 to $15,000 in fuel system repairs — and impart peace of mind knowing that their daily workhorse isn’t going to lay down on them. Currently, the Ford 6.7L CP4 to DCR Pump Conversion will fit 2011-2019 F250-F750 trucks, with future plans for 2020+ compatibility. The DCR Pump Conversion is emissions compliant (SEMA Cert #SC-SDM01-0034) and is backed by a two-year, unlimited-mile warranty.
