Thanks to everyone with well wishes for my dilemma. Dealer got it all tore down (cab is 9 feet in the air!!) and diagnosed the problem. CP4 exploded taking out the injectors and filling the fuel system with metal filings. I can't believe how Ford Motor Co and Lithia Ford of Boise treated me!! So very surprised after all the horror stories of not covering these. Everything covered, no problem!! Gave me a new 4x4 F 150 loaner. So relieved.

But I would never trust that truck again. And if I lost another pump I bet it would be a real problem to get it covered again. I went back yesterday and got a '16 F250 6.2 GAS. CC, 6.5 box, FX4 loaded Lariat. Real Creampuff with 14K miles. I thought I was really going to pay for this but I was more than ecstatic with the deal.

Today I am driving a beautiful Pearl White Lariat while the old one is still in the shop with all it's guts out!!! How do you spell relief? :B

Happy that you are happy DJ...though, you did really ruin the day of those who dislike Ford. I picture them all sitting around with crossed fingers that this would turn into a post on how Ford denied you warranty coverage, stole your wallet, and kidnapped your first born.

But seriously, glad you are happy how it ended up.

I'm not a Ford hater but there is no way in heck I would go from a new diesel to a new gas and be happy. That's some brand loyalty right there. Whether the OP needed a diesel or not he bought a diesel for a reason, became scared of it so instead of trading for a more proven reliable diesel he dropped his standards to step down in trucks. I know he traded for a more optioned out truck but if that's what he wanted I don't know why he didn't do it in the first place.

OP, I'm truly happy that you are happy with your outcome just seems like a crappy deal to me.
