Anyone experiences CP4 pump failures and did they change anything on 17' and newer models?

[TX03RUBI]

Haven’t seen any yet, and I’ve followed quite a bit of 17+ Ford pages.

I hope this doesn’t jinx me but I have a 2017 F250 still mainly stock, only changes have been tires. The truck has been great with one major exception, The Death Wobble. However, if the dealership would have been honest up front it probably wouldn’t have been near as a big deal. New tires and it’s gone. The truck is a pulling machine, and not sure about all the mentions of how easily they get stuck. Once I put on mud tires I don’t have issues at all. Even pulling a 35’ gooseneck trailer in the mud.

Used FORSCAN to increase the brightness of my running lights on my 17. Looks much better now! Before and after pics.

Dang that’s good! I bought a used one here recently. No problems yet knock on wood. What kind of tires are you running ?

FORSCAN software allows you to change some of the stock settings through the obd2 connector under the dash.

I used FORSCAN. Its free and very easy to set up. First thing i did when I got my truck was disable the double horn honk and enable police mode so the truck cannot be put into gear without the key fob inside (so you can remote start your truck and someone cant drive off in it). Those are some of the many little things you can change.

You can find the spreadsheet for FORSCAN here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...ns1s/htmlview#

If you click the link and go to the setup instructions tab it will tell you everything you need to know to get started. If anyone finds it too intimidating, I dont mind meeting up and making FORSCAN changes in the houston/college station area. Can meet anywhere and takes about 20 min depending on how many changes you want to make.

Change the tires. You’ll spend a lot of money and time jacking around with the lies the dealership will tell you and in the end, it’s tires. I have a please help me thread on here because I couldn’t get a straight answer and I finally found an honest dealership who tried everything and intimately told me to change my tires. Did I mention you should get new tires?

$1800 in tires is a lot more money than free. It’s not costing me a penny, and I’ve got a loaner to drive in the meantime. After they’re done with it I’ll consider tires if it still hasn’t gone away yet.

I have also seen multiple instances where tires did nothing to correct the issue.

I might have to get with you when I get back in town. Would like to elongated the double horn and enable the police mode if you can assist

If your tires are factory tires why should you have to spend $1k plus for new tires? Make them replace them.

Easier said than done which is why the dealership will play dumb to the issue until it’s too late.

Yeah that’s what I did. My truck was in and out of the shop 4 times changing a part here and there to make it seems like they’re trying and I’m the end we all would’ve been better off splitting the cost of new tires.

F250 w/4.30 axle.........I like it.

Does the XLT premium mean leather?
How much lower than the MSRP is the invoice?

[BRad G]

I have a 2017 F250 GAS engine 6.4 liter, I love it! I got away from diesel after owning an ‘06 6.0 love this Ford just fine!

All the options that come with the XLT premium are listed directly underneath the option. Leather does not come with it.

As was mentioned, Premium doesn't have leather, but it has a bunch, especially heated seats which isn't common in Ford non-leather trims.

In this case, invoice is about $51k. I also just received a Private Cash Offer from Ford, so my out-the-door may be a little less when the dust settles.

But you can go to NADA and build your own truck and it'll give you the invoice price.

My bet is track bar-been there and done that.It did fix the problem immediately,apparently there is a nationwide backorder and it is supposedly on its 3rd revision.

[TX03RUBI]

I don’t mind continuing to put the miles on their truck while mine sits unused lol

I have 3 Michelins I would give away for $50 dollars each for a TBH member or whatever that equates to in Natty Lights...
Oh by the way, when I put on a leveling kit I asked my guy about death wobble. He said he wull take care of it so there are no issues. Brandon is the owner of Reese's Truck Pieces in Burnet. Solid dude. Set up my last 2 trucks.

Thanks. I thought about adding the level kit where I could add the double steering stabilizer but I also pull gooseneck trailers and a gooseneck camper so I haven’t felt like dealing with the setup.

[bbqfan5909]

Stabilizer won’t fix the issue, will be a bandaid. Your ball joints will be trashed and need to be replaced.
