CP4 to CP3 and DCR Pump Conversions
Certain diesel applications use CP4 high-pressure fuel pumps that can become a significant concern if the pump fails and sends metal contamination throughout the fuel system.
Depending on your vehicle and application, a CP3 or DCR conversion may provide an alternative to the original CP4 configuration.
Power Stroke Applications
DCR pump conversion options may be available for applicable Ford Power Stroke diesel vehicles equipped with a CP4 fuel system.
Duramax Diesel Applications
Applicable Duramax diesel vehicles may have CP3 or DCR conversion options depending on the engine, model year, and existing fuel system.
Cummins Diesel Applications
Certain Cummins diesel applications equipped with CP4 fuel systems may also qualify for conversion options based on vehicle specifications.
HDS Automotive can evaluate your vehicle to determine which repair or conversion approach is appropriate for its specific application.
