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...

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.
This happened on my VW TDI passat. Repair cost? 10k. They said bad fuel.. Covered under warranty. 12-15k is not out of the norm for a much larger truck. I now check all the fuel going into on each fill up.
Check your fuel on each fill up. One bad fill can cost you and there are lots of bad fuel out there. More then once I left a station that had bad fuel. CHECK YOUR FUEL EACH FILL UP, bad fuel will grenade these things.
