FCA for the DIY CP3?

I plan on doing the DIY CP3 Mod and I was wondering if I could purchase the FCA (fuel control actuator) from the local Mopar store? I remember seeing the price for one a while back ($50-60) and I would rather have one in stock in case I screw up and cut the triangle. If I don't I'll sell the other in the classifieds. I called my local Mopar sercvice guy but he had no idea what I was talking about.

It is quite a bit more than you are pricing. But what you are suggesting is wise. It is closer to $100 and best to be gotten at a Cummins shop. Dodge dealers can be a lot more $$$.

There was a national shortage on these a while ago, I wonder if they are caught up now?

Why don't you just BUY a modded one to start with?

I would rather spend $100.00 and do it myself then $1,100.00 for someone else to do it.

I thought the Diesel shop that sold the kits to mod the CP3. Relentless Diesel or someone like that.I was on their web site a few weeks ago and I thought modded FCAs were mentioned/available.Seems so many screw up doing them at home that it would make sense to me that they sold the modded versions.

When you consider a new one is 125 the 160 seems like a steal. Best diesel shop in the buisness.

It was on Relentless Diesels site. Chris had a write up about how to do it. I just posted it so everyone on here could see it. But John contribute to the thread.

If they had a modded FCA before I did mine for $160 thats the way I would have gone!
