Great video guys. I think when you are running off road Harry if your "muffler" falls off I would reduce the weight on a new one as you break 200k miles. I live for the oil testing!
Do you have any opinions on the Speed of Air pistons and Total Seal Gapless rings? (I am not affiliated with either, just curious). In addition to heat and oil, what about quality of fuel and fuel additives? Do you think that catch cans are any good or a gimmick?
Spent Friday afternoon and half the night pulling my cp4.. it wasn’t bad but went ahead and put a DCR in… no brainer to have a more robust pump. Have 116,000 on my 2020. It was still clean, had the DPK on it but glad to have it done.
The whole pump issue is our fuel lubricity verses what market the pump was designed for..(Europe) ! Is a DCR ok with a stock lift pump on a 2016 6.7 Powerstoke…
Miss my king ranch PowerStroke terribly. Have a 19 Silverado High Country now with the 6.2L. It’s fast. Not as fast as my 15 king ranch. Looking for another PowerStroke King Ranch or a 25-3500 High Country Duramax.
Thank you sir. I’d go with 2017 plus. I’d not be opposed to another 2015 provided it had everything done to it like the one I so stupidly sold. I love the new ones. Just not the price tag. They’re priced outta my wheel house.
So, to recap the CP4 discussion. One of the trucks was parked at 210k miles because the CP4 was failing and the other 2 failures were caused from pumping def in the diesel tank. Those are the only trucks in the fleet of 50 that have had CP4 issues? Or did I misunderstand the discussion? Great video!
@@mattburnett7347 That's what I heard too. So the whole "CP4 is junk" is not the whole story. I have asked multiple parties that exact question before, and THE MAJORITY of failures are caused by water or DEF in the fuel. Keep your stock filters in place.
Correct, if you simply maintain your truck with proper diesel maybe some Hotshots additive at every fill up, is all you need and your CP4 will last as long as you own your truck.
Statistically on the Ford 6.7 power stroke the CP4 has a 5 to 7% failure rate within the first 100,000 miles. This does not account for the failures caused by fuel contaminants or diesel exhaust fluid in the fuel tank. A little bit of research will confirm the numbers that I have given you. So five to seven trucks out of 100 have this in their future within the first 100000 miles. The likelihood of failure after that mileage goes way up.
Please share the link to this info. I’m seeing the 5-7% estimate, but not in the first 100k. And that also doesn’t seem to exclude people dumping def in their tank and skipping fuel filter changes.
@@SeaPro360RCD Performance states that our fuel has plenty of lubrication. Their CPX pump is a modified CP4 and from what I've heard from local diesel guys, it is way better than the DCR. Apparently, the main cause of the CP4 failure is cavitation. That could be due to lift pump not working correctly, clogged filters, or not priming properly after a filter change. I just had to prime my system 12 times before I couldn't hear any bubbles after I changed both filters. I still run HSS EDT though for a piece of mind.
I was going to get a 6.4L since they are much cheaper and more available but I think I'm only going to accept a 6.7 or 7.3 hopefully I can get an 99-03 f350 7.3 4x4 crew cab with the ZR6 6 speed saw a red one for sale for $5,500 wish I had the cash for it. 300-400 miles on my 17 gallon tank with my 2.3L ranger.
@ yeah your right it’s 18, I got a 15 gallon gravity fed tank I need to install. And that’s the plan would like a 2015 2nd gen 6.7 but I would have to finance and I don’t really want to do that again.
I dont tow heavy(8k), but i do tow daily, and i put ALOT of highway miles on my trucks(80-100k a year). I've always opted for gas trucks for my business. Low maintenance cost and consistently get 300k out of them. Would it be worthwhile to go diesel for longevity, or is it more cost-effective to stay with the gassers? Loved the video. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment! I can’t speak for Anthony, but if it were me, I would stick to gas trucks. There’s just too much that can go wrong with a diesel. Especially if you have employees driving. Now, if you were looking to buy a vehicle for yourself, you needed to tow more than 10k pounds, and you were going to be the only one driving it and maintaining it, I would buy the diesel.
I have heard soooo many compliments about the S+S disaster kit and it seems like a great idea. But, I have only heard 1 comment that it does not work (from a person that had it and "shrapnel" just blasted thru the screen) and I have heard 0 comments that it does work. Have you heard anything?
Question: If a CP4 is a known problem and that has been established, then why does Ford continue to use them? GM quit the CP4 in 2017. RAM went to a CP4 in 2020 and then recalled those trucks. Yet Ford continues to use them. Why would anyone that knows about the Bosch CP4 buy a truck with one? If you change out the CP4 with the aftermarket you void your warranty. What am I missing?
Thank you for watching! How do you like this interview series so far?
This was a lot of fun. Thanks for having me.
Any time!
Def saving the planet, making car manufacturers lots of money
It’s such a racket
Amazing the military 6.7 trucks don’t get the same emission equipment as we are “required” to have.
Amazing interview, Thank you gentlemen you both have a new happy subscriber.
Thank you for watching! We appreciate it
Thank you!

That’s awesome! Did you notice any difference in engine performance after installing the DCR?
@ quicker start, seems to be a tad more peppy and runs smoother. Other than that, running great. Have about 15 hours on it so far.
@@HuntFishFly That's awesome to hear!
Great upgrade!
The whole pump issue is our fuel lubricity verses what market the pump was designed for..(Europe) !
Is a DCR ok with a stock lift pump on a 2016 6.7 Powerstoke…
Yes.

Your king ranch was a nice rig! What year Powerstroke would you get?

@hardway1746 agreed the prices these days are ridiculous

Are intercoolers some what of an issue? How often should we do coolant change?
They sell coolants strips. Large fleets do it as part of service intervals.
Every 40k. Coolers do leak internal sometimes. Not a big common issue. But it does happen
Regular maintenance and don’t skip or skimp on maintenance.
Great guy Anthony and watch his channel
Thank you!
BFT has some great stuff on his channel 👍
Thank you
Great Information!
Thanks for watching!

My 2019 ranger has a 18 gallon tank. I get like 450-475 on one tank. Stay away from the 6.4. If your going old school go 7.3.
Ya the 6.4 will drain the old bank account
@@powerstrokemaintenance yes indeed. They have lots of problems too

@JustAverageJeff with the way truck prices are now. I wouldn't finance either
when ha said "..every day has a learning curve.." I immediately thought (Sheryl Crow ) "every day is a winding road... every day is a faded sign..."
I thought I was doing good with my 6.2 gas with 440k on the original drive train. I guess I need to drive more.
That’s still very impressive!

If you change out the CP4 with the aftermarket you void your warranty. What am I missing?
The rest of the truck 😂
Do you know what fuel additive he is using and what oil does he use?
Amsoil orange bottle in the winter. Green bottle in spring summer and fall. Oil is amsoil signature 5w40 cause they are severe
Awesome video
Thanks!
Which fuel additive do you use?
Archoil AR6500 for me
He mentioned Amesoil transmission oil. What weight or number are you using?
What’s the better oil to use?
What is the solution for code p054f
How much more reliable will Ford diesel engines be when regulators stop making them eat exhaust?
We shall see
