Even though I have a GM, and they are honoring the warranty now, and IMO will continue as they should be seeing the fiasco that Ford has gotten themselves into.....I am interested as I tend to keep my trucks long after the warranty is up. I currently have about 64 months and 85,000 miles left on the warranty, and thus that much time for this situation to get figured out.
I am not using any additives. I never have believed in them. GM discourages them. The additive that Ford pushes was NOT (according to a ford tech) tested with the 6.7....Ford tested it in the past on their previous diesels. Since Ford states that they don't know anything about the CP-4 pump...They buy it as a "black box" from Bosch.(NHSTA response) Then I cannot see where they have any way of knowing if their PM22A is helping or hurting their HPFP...The only thing they can be certain of is that the PM22A sales are helping the bottom line.
So I figure that when /if the time comes that the solution is found that I will use the money saved on additives to put towards the "fix".
This could include a premptive pump changeout if necessary. Lots cheaper to change just a pump, and I would do it IF I knew that it would last.
