Ford injector pump failure

To the OP I am glad you found out the problem wasn't as dire as thought. While I do use Ford very selectively and carefully it has been more than a few times they have misdiagnosed or worst yet not done the work I paid them for. I still use them sometimes (a different dealer) for less than major work but like I said only one dealership and one service writer I will deal with. Otherwise when I have time or options I have an independent shop that I use.

...guess I'm a rare breed here.

One misdiagnosed fuel pump doesn't mean there is no problem globally with these motors.

OP...I'm glad it wasn't nearly as bad as was suspected.

Thanks!

Problem is not as big as you make it. I just find it funny how all the fiat boys jump at the slightest chance on Ford. A post that started out as a possible 6.4 pump failure and you boys go through 6.0, 6.4, and 6.7. Even jumped on the GM crowd this time. If you check the post here most are from Fiat guys. Sorry yall were disappointed this time. :B

My GMC just suffered the dreaded catastrophic hpfp failure. 10k to fix it!
GM is picking up 70% of the cost which is awesome- I am at 109k miles on the odometer.
The truck has been flawless to this point and spent a lot of time hauling at GCWR and running at high speeds.
Sorry it happened because I wanted to run the truck for another year or two (fixing it and trading it in) but on the other hand I get to get a new truck! :)
Hope the new one doesn't suffer the same fate!

Glad GM went out and above their warranty obligation.

It's been a while since I checked on my post. Update. Took the truck to an independent for a quote on replacing the fuel pump. Did a lot of tests and said the fuel pump was fine. All the symptoms were normal for a Ford so I guess my dealer in Hutchinson was trying to get in my pocket. Not going back there. I let the BBB complaint ride but they said I didn't have a case so here I set with a Ford that may or may not be junk. Maybe I'll look for another truck but it won't be a Ford and won't be from Hutchinson, Ks.

Thanks for all the posts.

Great news and thanks for the update.

I would suggest that you look at a 2013 or newer Ram/Cummins. Much different truck than previous generations and uses DEF which has virtually eliminated emissions issues and allows them to provide very good fuel economy. I owned 3 Fords before this truck and am very happy! Also I have never owned a vehicle that has generated so many conversations and questions at campgrounds so I think there's a lot of people thinking the same way.

In any case let us know what you decide.
