Hi @Jdaniel ,
Is your truck still stock and is the turbo still the original?
Thanks,
scott

 

It’s still got the original turbo but it’s had a couple things removed… so it’s a ways from being stock.

 

Was the $500 a joke? I laughed when I read that. It's a paper weight, or garage ornament.

 

Of course. “Lightly used” being the keywords. lol. I know no one wants that trash.

 

I might send it to you.

What kind of knowledge are you looking to obtain? Just curious.

 

It'd be a bit until I could get to it.

There's a lot to learn from actually having a pump in hand. Most of the time, when I take or cut some sort of junk part apart, it's for a larger scale project I'm working on. All sorts of existing parts and their weaknesses and what 215,000 or more miles does to them are inspiring newer designs I'm coming up with.

I watched a video of S&S talking about one of their DCR beta test trucks that was running metal fuel filters. The guy apparently got an *** load of water in his fuel somehow and didn’t know it. The water rusted out his metal fuel filters terribly and sent all kinds of trash into the DCR which was still churning at that point.

S&S took the DCR apart for inspection purposes and said there was minor damage to the pump but nothing keeping it from continuing on. They reassembled the pump without changing anything and put it back on the same truck. It’s still churning today according to the video I watched.

That sold me on the DCR. A CP4 would have been destroyed just from the moisture in the fuel alone. The corrosion wouldn’t even of had time to set in.

With that said, I wonder if most guys running the DCR are still running Hotshots or any other form of additive or decided to stop. I failed to ask the S&S guys that when I was questioning their Chinese connections what they recommend.

 

Hang it in the garage next to the def heater, cold air charge pipe, and endless other $hitty parts that Ford put in these high profit margin expensive @$$ trucks...

 

This is the reason I’ll likely never get rid of this truck.

Parts I’ve upgraded/found missing:

-CAI (upgraded)
-Charge pipe (upgraded)
-DCR pump (upgraded)
-EGR (missing)
-DPF (missing)
-CCV filter (missing)
-H&S Intake throttle plate (upgraded)
-Tune (upgraded)
-S&B cab mounts (huge upgrade)
-Pedal commander (upgraded)
-Titan 65 gallon tank (upgraded)
-Firestone Airbags (upgrade)
-Remote controlled air compressor (upgrade)
-Carli King 2.5” shocks (great upgrade)
-Carli leveling springs (upgraded)
-Hellwig rear sway bar
-Morimoto XB Headlights and fog lights

Next upgrades:

-KC stage 1 Whistler
-Pusher Pipes
- ATS stage 2 transmission (great warranty)

In between I’ve got a couple oil leaks to fix but it’s something I can do once I get the family moved to our next destination.

 

Sounds right. Just odd that the truck feels more peppy. lol. May be psychological. 🤪

 

Good ol placebo effect. Same thing I see with Cummins owners installing the banks monster ram intake. They swear they feel all these things, then the one dyno video shows it loses torque all around.

 

I too am seeing better mileage. Why did you need to do a DPK? It’s built in.

 

My Cp4 gave me a glitter party. Metal shavings everywhere. 😔 I actually meant disaster rebuild kit
