That is only PARTIALLY true!.

MANY of the 2-piston pumps had ceramic plungers!... MANY!. --- INCLUDING MANY CM2350 ENGINES! ---

Just because your TRUCK may be a 2013 or 2014, or newer, it does not mean your ENGINE is that new!

Most of the time the build date on the engine is a YEAR OR MORE OLDER than the truck. -- IF your ENGINE (or fuel pump) was built before June of 2013 --- IT HAD CERAMIC PLUNGERS from the factory! -- THIS INCLUDES a lot of CM2350 ENGINES!. Many of them were build before this date, and installed into trucks as new as 2014, and even a few 2015!. This means you could have a 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, or even a 2015 TRUCK,.. and STILL have ceramic plungers!.

You could very well have a newer style 2-piston pump, painted or even un-painted, A newer truck, etc. etc. --- YOU CANNOT TELL BY LOOKING AT THE OUTSIDE OF IT and then pissing this info away because you are too cheap or lazy to have it inspected!.

LASTLY--- WHO CARES WHAT PLUNGERS YOU HAVE --- THE NEWER STEEL PLUNGERS FAIL TOO!!! ---- CHECK AND REPLACE YOUR FUEL PUMP TAPPETS AND PLUNGERS EVERY 400K MILES LIKE CLOCKWORK, STEEL, CERAMIC, WHATEVER IS IN THERE! -- PERIOD!.

And if you aren't 120% ABSOLUTELY SURE what you got --- HAVE THE HEAD PULLED OFF AND INSEPECT IT!!! -- PERIOD! --- and replace the tappets and plungers anyways, just for good measure!.



Like it was mentioned --- Owning a CM2250 or CM2350 (2011 and newer engines) you have "A grenade on the side of your engine just waiting to go off with no warning, destroying everything in short order!". - DON'T wait for the grenade to go off before telling yourself "I should have..." -- I have seen it time and time again already!.
