I agree there are prob better options...but when dealing with ford and their warranty brigade its best to stick with motorcraft parts and fluids... the only thing that I ran not ford while I was under warranty was the oil (rotella t6)and my intake/air filter (s&b)

There have been a bunch of independent test done for additive lubricity and Optilube is always in the top few (usually just below Bio-Diesel) for lubricating ability but you are right about Ford being picky when it comes to warranty work. Sometimes it's just better to play their game until the warranty is gone. ;)

Wasn't water or DEF in the fuel. I got a reduced power message and took to the dealer. Ford is very tight with approving this type of warranty repair. The whole top of the engine was disassembled and pictures were taken of the internals of the HPFP and samples of fuel were taken from the tank. They were looking for white crystals (DEF) or rust (water). Be sure to take a sample of fuel from the frame mounted fuel filter monthly. Use a quart glass jar and let the sample settle overnight. I always keep my fuel receipts, they had a rash of water in diesel around here, Baton Rouge area. Some folks went back on the station and had their repair cost picked up by the
distributer.

While Ford is noted for pushing back on CP4-2 warranty claims, GM has silently took care of them. Now GM for 2017 is going with a Denso Japanese brand injection pump. Time will tell if it is a better pump. Chris

The problem lies in fuel quality. The original pump was designed for #1 diesel which is rare to see. I did fill up with some in Northeastern Iowa, mileage went up running it. Not many takers for it according to the station manager. I just wanted to run some.

I see Ford Super Duty was just awarded Motor Trend Truck of the Year. That's something to be proud of, for sure!

Has adjustable low rpm fueling from 1-5...on 1 there is hardly ANY noticable smoke except a wisp on hard launch...on 5 it will ROLL COAL big time...im running it on 2 and it hardly will smoke at all unless you dig on throttle hard at very low rpm...shifting is very nice also...obviously it smells like a diesel now too..

I had a chip in the corvette once then it went bad after 5 years. And yes your a fine institution as to what I already think of the emissions crap. If it didn't have so many issues and grenade engines I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Very nice set up
Not sure how it would work with the fithwheel and gooseneck hitch.
It would definitely have to be modified around it all.
