DIESEL ONLY: How long has your fuel pump lasted?

[Jeepasaurus_Rex]

To be the devil's advocate:

42k-ish with no issues and running just about anything you're not supposed to in the tank. I've run her on 4 year old syphoned diesel out of my dead trucks (in winter), fuel reclaim tank (aka old trans oil, waste oil mixed in from failed heui's), couple extra gallons of PS911 in a pinch when i almost ran dry... and still going strong.

Though I'm religious in my 15k filter changes, I think this one might just be (un)luck of the draw for failures.

I'm in the same boat. Previous diesel had 43k miles, current one has 32k. No issues with either, nothing added.

If this is real, you will be the first cp4 failure with fuel additives.

Please keep us informed!!!!

Here is what I know so far:

60006 miles hot shot when I remember I have some

Mines all good at 22k

 

[Jeep-A-Kneez]

Approximately 32500 miles, no pump issues, knock on wood. Have had a boat load of other things though, extended warranty ony future.

48500km no issues with fuel pump, just axle locker issues and the DEF recall.

 

[Gruffid]

So far, about 52k miles in 26 months. The only issues I’ve had are not fuel pump related (suspension, battery).

4k on my 22 JTRD when the CP4 blew... FCA bought it back (it's in Peoria AZ now if youre reading this).... 2k on my 23 JTRD and so far so good.....
Wife has 35k on her 21 JLURD, waiting to darts to do the recall

Last saturday, my '22 JTRD died on me while driving. I got it with 7 miles on it back in April 2022 and now has 22k miles. Took me through 8 states and a week long solo trip through Canada and no issues until last weekend. Everyone is saying it's the fuel pump and the dealer is just getting to look at it today. My vin doesn't come up in the recall though.

Please keep us updated.

Although this forum many not be best place to get a true sample size as the number of Gladi's sold vs the number of active forum members does not compare at all.. we can get a general idea on trend.

Oh and I'm over 15,000 miles on mine and still no issues. I started with hotshots at about 10,000 miles and add the "super shot" recommendation to every tank.... unless I misplace my bottle like I did and put off going to Walmart for about a month and a half. But still no issues.

I'm probably going to hold the shortest duration record. Mine failed on mile 3 or so - before I took delivery. The dealer was driving it back from the car wash on the day I was supposed to pick it up. Took 2 months to get the parts in to replace it, but it's been great ever since. At 6,000K or so now without an issue. I use Hot Shots Diesel with almost every tank now to be safe.

Have you reliably used fuel lubricity additive?

I did use it but not as religiously as i should.

 

[PnwGladiatorBuild]

22K not running anything extra..... should I be??

The bottle is like $17 at Walmart and you use 2 ounces per full tank. A bottle will last you probably a dozen fillups.

Hotshots adds extra lubricative properties to the fuel, low quality low lubricity diesel is what kills the hpfp in these.

It’s really your call, but most of us do.
