Major Repairs
All, Reading in different posts about these fuel system/fuel pump repairs and such huge repairs with diesels, is that the same for all (Big 3) or mainly Fords? An $8000 repair sounds crazy? Tha...

I can change out my entire Cummins fuel system on the roadside with a $179 harbor frieght tool kit. You will get alot off opinions from those that haven't replaced cp3s, cp4s, and the Injectors from all three companies. They are all really nice trucks. Until you have to work on them. Then there is only one really nice truck.
That is what I am getting at with my question...I know that all 3 have their issues being diesels but are the Cummins usually easier to repair for the most part? It seems like when a Ford breaks down the cab has to ripped off half the time to repair it or someone is saying that replacing the fuel pump was $8000?
You are correct!
He is incorrect about the cab having to come off all the time. The 6.7 PSD was designed for the majority of the repairs with the cab on. In addition I would bet that most here won't perform there own repairs if someone major would happen. Even our farm equipment these days has a John Deere technician to work on the engines. Replacing injectors and HPFP are very expensive on all brands and if anyone thinks the Ram or GM will warranty a fuel system repair with fuel contamination got their blindfolds on.
Anyone that believes that most Ford CP4-2 failures were "fuel contamination got their blindfolds on".
