2013 Ford Diesel
Is the 2013 Ford Diesel a good engine, I need it to pull my 36' 5th /w. Looking to move up. How about the 2015 are they any better. Thanks for any help.

The risk of the CP4 high pressure fuel pump self destructing and ruining the entire fuel system to the tune of a $12-$15k repair was enough to steer me clear of them. I plan on keeping my truck well past the warranty period so it just simply was not a risk I was about to take. Interestingly enough I have not seen any documentation as to the changes in the "improved" high pressure fuel pump for 2015 which makes me think a couple of things:
1. Ford knew there was a problem with the pump in the 2011-2014 MY trucks and doesn't want to say so
And/or:
2. There aren't any significant changes to it and the risk of premature failure is still there.
In any case, too much secrecy for me.
I bought a new truck last year (in my signature) and am very pleased. And this is coming from 3 Ford pickups over the last 20 years, including both a 7.3L and 6.0L diesel.
