He left them out on purpose. The VW, Chevy, and Ford 6.7L all use the same Bosch CP4 series high pressure fuel pump that has been failing. The Cummins 6.7L uses a different Bosch CP3 pump that runs at lower pressures and hasn't been failing.
I believe Chrysler reported to the NHTSA about the same % of HPFP failures as GM and Ford with their current CP3 pump.
I believe you're wrong. Was Chrysler even asked to provide data to NHTSA about pump failures? How about a link to your claim? Proof? Anything?
You do know that the Duramax (2001 - 2010) used the same CP3 pump as is used on the Cummins from 2003 - 2012 right? That's 18 model years.
I frequent many diesel forums and the only complaints I've ever read about CP3s is leaks in cold weather of the fittings that feed them (GM and Cummins).
I'm really beginning to question your knowledge, and your motives for posting in many threads recently.

The Cummins does not use the Bosch 4.x pump.

I believe Ricatic had a MOD, a bigger Titan tank. Maybe that was his downfall. Wonder if they need certain kind of air in the tires

I have begun reading all the Ford manuals that came with my truck and I am struck by one BIG thing: There sure are a lot of warnings about using only "Approved" this and that, "Motorcraft" this and that, No chips, no programmers, no lift-kits because they could void your warranty, ad nauseum. Ford even goes so far as to warn owners that if you modify your vehicle someway then remove the devices before taking the vehicle back to the dealership for service and repair, the truck's "Black Box" will betray you and you'll be damned to Hell forever... To look at Power Strokes in my neck of the woods, I dare say that an Unmodified truck is the exception rather than the rule.
What say you? Have any of you experienced the wrath of Ford's Service department after installing such devices or using aftermarket parts rather than Motorcraft?
I've never had an issue on any of my stuff. I've even had 4'' and 6'' lifter Excursions on 35'' tires. I have a ''newer'' truck, my 2011 Dodge, and has a leveling kit, bunch of extra lights, plus airbags, camper tie down stuff etc...I would not go buy a new truck, slap on a 8'' lift and 40'' tires and believe they would still honor the warranty. I have kept the engine 100% stock on all my rigs.
With what I have seen is as long as you stay away from any/all programmers and engine mods, and keep to leveling kits and maybe 35'' tires you will not have warranty issues. It will also help if you have ALL recommended services done at your local dealer if a warranty item ever comes up.

Thats a FORD Memo you nit. Just about what I'd expect from your knowledge base. Maybe give us a real link as to the investigation on the CP.3 pump. Someone here will walk you through making a link if you need it. Can't help with finding one though

My archived link doesn't work that had an index with links to the manufacturers reports, but I do know that the NHTSA sent letters to six different manufacturers asking for additional information on HPFP failures.
The manufactures listed:
BMW
Chrylser
Ford
GM
Mercedes-Benz
VW
