How are the new Ford diesel engines?
Back in 2011 when I bought my Dodge, Ford had just come out with the 6.7L engine. I really liked the look of the F250, but due to the history of engine problems, I was afraid to go with the new engine...

If Ford has installed a water in the fuel system warning system and and water separation that does provide protect for the engine, why are they blaming the problem on the consumer and denying warranty.
It is great that people all love their new 6.7 Powerstrokes. But, just be aware that you could be caught in this warranty dead zone.
If I had one, I would keep:
1. Fuel Log
2. All fuel receipts
3. All receipts for Ford diesel fuel additive
4. Log of each additive addition to fuel
5. Log each draining of water separator.
6. Catch fuel from each draining and put it in a jug.
7. Not own it after the factor warranty or factor extend warranty is up.
Then I would go read the forums full of issues with the single cylinder CP4.1 on the VW sites. NHTSA included the Ford 6.7 in their investigation of the VW diesels. We are not making this issue up out of thin air. It is a real problem and bigger yet is Ford in many cases in blaming the consumer.
There is nothing to prevent the injection pump roller follower piston from turning in the pump bore, which takes out the roller and cam lobe sending metal pieces through out the fuel system. Every fuel system component has to be replaced when this happens.
GM on the other hand with the same CP4.2 is silently just fixing them under warranty.
After the 6.0 and 6.4 you would think Ford would do the same, however that does not seem to be the issue. In a few more years that 6.7 may be grouped in with the 6.0 and 6.4 when people talk about the 7.3 being the last good Powerstroke. Only time will tell.
In the mean time RAM still uses the more reliable CP3 Bosch pump.
