Any of the big 3s (Ford, Ram, GM) newest diesels would be extremely pricey to repair out of warranty. Example: I had a 2002 Ram/Cummins. I bought 6 new Bosch brand injectors ("RV275" injectotors for more power) for it for $350 (CDN). I'm pretty sure a new injector for a 2017 model of truck would be $1000+ each no matter the brand. And they do wear out.
That kind of thing is one of the reasons I went with a 6.4L Hemi in 2014 after owning 2 diesels.
I can get new Bosch injectors for $536 each.
From what I have heard the collateral damage of a failed pump far exceeds the cost of the pump itself. Unless you start changing pumps as part of routine PM program it is the collateral damage that gets you.
Pumps on the Cummins don't take out everything like the others. The Cummins is what I was quoting.
