Ford injector pump failure
The injector pump in my 2009 F250 failed and fouled the injectors. 22 day out of extended warranty and Ford won't pay. Has anyone had similar problems and how much can I expect to pay to have it rep...

Why so much? Not debating, just asking why out of curiosity.
When you say "fouled the injectors", are you saying they're trashed, burned up, whatever? I've just heard of anyone using that term for diesel injectors.
In my mind, replacing injectors and fuel pump should never warrant that much money, but then again, I turn my own wrenches.
bear with me, my understanding of this procedure is simply from reading about it online:
When the pump fails, it does so in spectacular fashion, shredding itself into tiny metal bits. It then sends these in high pressure to the injectors, were they will also destroy themselves attempting to pump metal, rather than diesel fuel.
The cleanup/repair needs to be thorough and complete, by replacing or cleaning everything downstream of the HPFP.
12 to 15 grand sounds outrageous, but diesel repairs are far more expensive than their gasoline counterparts.
