To try to get some imput for lift pump failures on 3rd gens. Is this a common problem or isolated to only some. If a failure has occured please post mileage. Thanks.

 

You should have had a seperate catagory for the 05-06 trucks, they have a different lift pump set-up.

The 03-04.5 have the fuel canister mounted lift pump.

 

I can't vote cause I don't have a 3rd gen, but I know of 3 that have.

2-2004.5 no mods
1-2003 with mods

 

Mine failed at 29,465. Not completly but enough to kill the cp3 and the dealer checked the flow from it and ordered a new one. so now they're buying two pumps. LCH

 

38K on my 2004 CTD while hauling 30' trailer. went in last sat (17th) new retro kit came in today should be done tomorrow.

 

My 03 is stock w/ 60k miles. Nothing yet.

My father's 03 is modded w/ a box and his quite at 40k.

 

Right at 67,000 on the clock still driving good no box or chips,and I tow quite often.

 

32K...No problems so far.....Knock on plastic.

 

Lift pump failed Thanksgiving weekend at 25000 miles. Dealer replaced with in tank unit and 4 weeks later truck quit again. Diganosed as a bad CP-3, took 6 days to get pump, replaced same and still wouldnt run. Discovered that Pressure relief valve (or whatever it is called) failed and wouldn't allow the fuel rail to be pressurized. Replaced same and again all is well.

PS dealer left new CP-3 on truck so guess I made out OK.

 

60k on my stock '03, no problems. Getting ready to install a FASS pump just to be on the safe side.

 

36500 miles on stock truck, gave me a little warning,dealer would not look at it till it threw a code.No prob since in tank replacement.

 

I think some people have lift pump issues (or CP3 issues) and don't realize it.

This guy has long crank times on his truck.

Doesn't even mention lift pump or CP3.

I think people and dealerships are just starting to put 2+2 = 4 together.

 

5.k M 04 1/2 3500

 

Maybe, maybe not. If this is a big problem (30% + failure rate) I'll throw another lift pump in my glove box. If not I ain't gonna worry about it. Dealer around me has never put one on. Chatted with a hotshot driver with a '03 at the dealer yesterday. He has 322k and he said no pumps yet. Worrying about "maybe" problems gives you grey hair. I don't have any yet and don't really want any.
Hopefully the poll will tell.
Hardwood I have no idea what you posted.

 

72 to 8 good vs bad.
