When should I replace my CP3?

The Bosch CP3, used on the '01-to-'10 Duramax and '03-to-current Cummins engines, is known to last 250,000 miles or more before needing to be replaced. Of course, performance enthusiasts also know these pumps are only capable of supporting approximately 500 hp.

Double Your Potential. On its own, the CP3 produces 24,000 to 26,000 psi of fuel pressure and can support a truck making approximately 550 horsepower at the wheels. When combined with a second (stock displacement) pump, the potential to make more than 1,000 horsepower is on the table.

Does a CP3 pump need to be timed?

Unlike previous (pre-common-rail) injection pumps, it has fewer tasks to perform. The CP3 injection pump's sole job is to create and regulate high-pressure fuel (it's not timed with the engine's crankshaft and camshaft).

Can you rebuild a CP3 pump?

While CP3 repair is not usually considered a "DIY" project, sometimes minor issues such as a leak can be corrected in the field with this CP3 kit. For more major concerns additional CP3 pump parts, special tools, and test equipment will be required for a complete repair.

At what mileage does the CP4 fail?

Air in the pump means that metal rubs against metal, causing accelerated wear. This will eventually cause the CP4 to fail, often around 100,000 miles. Before it fails, metal shavings are produced by the CP4, which travel into the fuel injectors and the fuel lines with catastrophic results.

How to check if a CP3 is bad?

Take the return line off the CP3. Put a hose on it and run it into a container. Disable the injectors. Crank the engine over until fuel begins to flow from the hose from the CP3 return. Empty the container out, then crank it over for 15 seconds. Measure the amount of fuel in the container. If it is more than 1.2 onces, the CP3 is returning to much fuel and is bad. If less than 1.2 onces the CP3 is still good.

How long to crank a CP3 over?

Empty the container out, then crank it over for 15 seconds. Measure the amount of fuel in the container. If it is more than 1.2 onces, the CP3 is returning to much fuel and is bad. If less than 1.2 onces the CP3 is still good.

Why is my CP3 pump starting low?

Most starting problems due to low pressure are caused by bad injectors as a result of erosion of the check ball seat. The pressure is supposed to default to a max of 26,107 PSI when you unplug the fuel control actuator. The pump cannot build an adequate amount of pressure if the injection system has a leak. The high-pressure pump will most likely need to be replaced if dirt and/or water has contaminated the pump. Generally, the injectors are afflicted first, however, contaminants also will go through the CP3 pump. To curtail injector cackle, the CP3 must be “phased” with these engines during installation. In the service information you can find a timing procedure.

When should a high pressure limit valve not leak?

A high-pressure limit valve should not leak at idle or during cranking.

Are You Encountering Dilution Issues?

Dilution can result from an upper injector O-ring that is bad or not sealing.

Why won't my engine start with rail pressure?

The system will not build enough rail pressure to start the engine if the injector connector tubes that sit in the injectors are leaking or if the check ball in the injector is leaking. Another issue might be the high-pressure limit valve. It takes approximately 4000 PSI of rail pressure to start the engine.

Can CP3 pump be phased?
