Cp3 conversion

1535 Views 20 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  Crosshairs
As the title states, has anyone ever done or heard of putting a cp3 pump on an eco? What are the main differences, is it even possible? I can make an adapter plate if needed but are the shafts the same size?

Haven't seen one yet.
It has been done but required maching to the upper cover and custom fuel lines. Of the two ive heard of neither got enough run time to prove how well they worked. But not due to the fuel system. The cp4.2 pumps on these work well just be careful of fuel quality and maintain the fuel system well.

it’s already been down cause of the cp4.2 pump for almost a year now and I don’t feel like waiting almost another year to be able to drive it.

I would buy a new pump, save the receipt and when the recall becomes available, put in for reimbursement through FCA.

Well they do that if I do the work myself?
They will reimburse you for the part only.
I'm not sure that's true, though. I never got reimbursed for getting my CPS/tone wheel done at an independent mechanic. I filed and next thing I knew It was showing as "resolved" and I couldn't get anybody to reply to my inquiries.

I would follow up with the recall information department and find out where your money went

That would apply if he could buy the updated design, but that's not available yet, AFAIK. The company should have given him a current (old) design pump to keep him running until the new design is available, as they have done with most others. If they haven't done that yet, why would they reimburse him when the new one comes out?

They will reimburse you if you pay for a repair that later on becomes a recall.
The updated pump is not available so there's no active recall. Therefore if he pays for a repair, he gets reimbursed when the recall comes out as well as getting the new updated pump installed if he so chooses .

I would make a phone call to FCA to verify , but Im pretty confident in my statement as thats how its always worked

There is already an active recall for most EDs (not '22s and '23s--YET) even though there's no solution. Many or most dealers are putting in current pumps even for those out of warranty because the recall is evidence of the flaw. It must not be FCA policy since some dealers refuse to do the right thing!

There is no active recall . There was an advanced notification of a pending fuel pump recall ( Z46) , with no parts and no way to get it done. Its expected to launch soon , but that may change .
He can pay to get the vehicle repaired and apply for reimbursement .This is how its always been.
Once the parts become available, that option no longer exists as they will just tell you that you should have had the recall done.
As far as policy, If the vehicle is under warranty, most dealers will put in an original pump , if a particular dealer won't, try another one .
if it's out of warranty, they are under no obligation to do anything until the recall becomes active.

Chrysler calls it a recall, at least for certain Gen 3s. I think I got the recall notice for my Gen 2 and others have reported getting a recall notice.

NHTSA seems to think there is a recall for Gen 2s. I hadn't realized there were separate recalls. What makes you think the recalls aren't active? Clearly, a solution is pending.

In a nutshell, not active means not launched yet . Until it becomes active ( launched) he has the choice to repair it himself and seek reimbursement.
I believe it states as much on the advanced notification letter but again, anyone doing this should call for themselves or do it online and get a case number.
There's already a shop doing CP3 conversions on EcoDiesels. They've posted a few times on the EcoDiesel facebook groups. I have no interest in doing the swap, so I didn't stick around and to find out the pricing, location, or other details involved.

I don't know. I'm in so many groups that it's hard to keep track. They had successfully completed a CP3 conversion, posted pictures, details, etc. It was advertised they were doing CP3 conversions. I didn't bother reading much of it.

Bounty, I'll see if I can locate it, seems I too remember seeing/reading it, I know they mentioned something about having to bore/machine on the pump/engine to make it work though

I'm still wondering when a recall is not a recall. The recall exists even though the remedy doesn't.
