I have no idea what happened in Ricatic's case. But we are hearing only one side of the issue. I'm not saying that he is wrong but that we just don't know. I followed it as it was posted here. But I have not heard many others saying they had the same problem. There was a period when some people reported problems but since then I don't recall hearing any. Maybe Ford started dealing better with the issue.
Like most others here I haven't had any major problems, the truck just went over 50K about half of that was towing our 5ver.
..and yet again my integrity is being challenged...those that followed the story from the beginning of the problem until my departure from the Blue Koolaid Crowd know how hard I worked to obtain a warranty repair from Ford...They know that the 6.7 design engineer went all the way to Dearborn with the facts he obtained from FSE's and techs that evaluated the pump failure as he lobbied to get the truck fixed under warranty...they know that I received a personal email from him as he agonized over the sacrificial denial for the sake of dealership and FSE harmony...they know that the part used to deny warranty was replaced during the first three attempts to repaiur under the auspices of warranty...they know that the so called rust tattletale on the part is not in the fuel flow at all...it is external to the fuel flow...they know that dealership number 2 completely discredited and rebuffed the WIF claim...
...but yet again...the Blue Kool Aid Crowd continues to try to use the tired old line that "we only have one side of the story" to impeach my credibility...
Ninerbikes hits the nail directly on the head when he tell of all manufacturers using the Bosch CP4.xx series HPFP as having problems...they all do...VW lost a battle with NHTSA over the pump and was forced to warranty them all or face recall...Porsche calls it fragile or delicate...but a major difference exists between Ford and all the other manufacturers...and it is a biggie...everyone but Ford warranties them all no questions asked...Ford warranties none of them without a long drawn out process that's only purpose is to shift the burden onto the customer...and most times they are successful...
This situation should give pause to anyone considering a HD pickup purchase...it already has for hundreds of buyers who have seen the facts without the Blue KoolAid filter...and bought a truck with a proven driveline and a warranty...
Just the facts...but my haters will find a way to explain them away...
