What is it?

High pressure fuel pump.

High pressure fuel pump.

I need to do my 2012 Chevy. They are kinda pricey; plus I have to have it done so labor is even more spendy

High pressure fuel pump.

I think it was more about what vehicle/machine it was from

If that's the case. It's going to bolted onto a Ford 6.7 Powerstroke. But, it's not an OEM part for a Ford.

The hope is it will be better than the Bosch CP4.1 HPFP it's replacing.

What is so bad about those pumps? We have one with 288k on it and another with 100k. Those 6.7s are everywhere and I've never personally heard of or seen one grenade like everyone talks about them.

I hear about it on the GM side with the LML.
Supposedly they explode all the time.
I've seen 2 failed pumps and only 1 had the dreaded metal everywhere issue I always hear about. The other just quit making pressure.

Yes have a buddy with the lml, and has had two pumps installed with the second the metal shavings kind! Not good! Was an expensive fix

We've had two in the family crater. The first one was due (imho) to #2 fuel being run in to cold of temps and it partly gelling. These pump do not take kindly to a vacuum or pumping air.

Second one I believe was due to fuel tank vent plugging so bad the tank went from holding 38 gallons to around 14 gallons.

The barrels in pumps under a suction situation can rotate, then chew themselves on the bore up.

As ED said, some just ware out. There's guys out there 500k miles on the original pump.

They like a supply of clean, air and water free fuel. Personally I'm not scared of them.
