Well that would make it an LML with the controversial CP4 pump. Thay have a higher failure rate then the CP3 but not that bad. Thay fail quickly with any contamination such as gas in the fuel.

Ether he was abusing it or he got a lemon. In any case, it does not mean the duramax is is junk or a bad engine. Far from it

My other brother had an lmm and ran it with a bullydog on extreme for just over 100k miles and never had any problem other than axle shafts and tie rod ends most mechanically sound motor I've ever been around and he ran about the last 15k miles on a failing vgt that did some wacky **** while driving but that truck could not be killed

I've replaced the injection pump with a brand new one from gm and still the same problem.i look and my scanner and it isn't building the pressure that the computer is commanding but as soon as i give her a shot of either she starts and has no problem holding the pressure commanded.
I've talked to a few people and they say that she needs injectors.
iv checked for code and i don't have any except for a glow plug. now before i did the injection pump i had a low rail pressure code but i don't seem to have it after i replaced the pump.
any ideas??? any and all help would be appreciated!

Did this pump being a cp4 ever explode by chance? Have you ever had problems with it?
