Failure of this cp4 pump is usually catastrophic, causing metal particulates to contaminate the entire fuel system. Please help this from happening to another person. These trucks are advertised showing families pulling campers traveling through mountains. That is exactly what my family was doing. I have additional documentation if needed.

The vehicle experienced a catastrophic failure of the fuel pump while towing a horse trailer on a busy state highway. This was a major safety risk because the vehicle gave no warning before it just stop working. It was a miracle we were able to coast off the highway into a wide spot that was able to accommodate both the truck and the horse trailer. The truck only has 77,000 miles and we are being told that none of the repair is covered under warranty. We were also told that the fuel pump has completely contaminated the entire fuel systems, including the injectors so everything must be replaced. The quote we received from the dealership for this massive repair is $12,208. 59. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms occurred until the truck died. Once the truck died, it could not be restarted and then began displaying a code that said the fuel filter needed to be replaced.

In the past three months the fuel lines needed replacement as they had rusted so badly that a leak formed. Yesterday while pulling my 10,000 pound boat, my brakes suddenly failed because of a leak in the line between the abs box and the right front wheel. The catastrophic failure nearly caused me to lose control of my vehicle and boat. I was able to downshift and use by emergency brake to bring the rig to a stop.
