Wow you guys, this has been quite the discussion. Yes I have looked at every post but I admit (NewsW/BenK) that I didn't read all the patents / articles quoted and sometimes got lost in some of the stratospheric discussion :)
I witnessed Rick's original thread on FTE and watched as the ordeal continued (through "resolution" if you will), kept up with numerous HPFP speculation threads and then I disappeared for awhile (real life came along). Also didn't know about this thread here. Recently came back to the 'net seeking an update on 2011+ 6.7s and noticed not much activity on the FTE side.
Curious about a few things...
- Niner, I think you mentioned the failures are still coming in with the VW vehicles, any idea if this is with the pump not made in Germany (DLC only on one surface IIRC)? (BTW you sound like a mtb riding, trailer pulling diesel fan, thought I was alone...)
- News, last I remember your advice to existing owners was along the lines of choosing quality fuel, using only the Ford additive, staying on top of maintenance. Anything change?
- Is there any indication Ford is stepping up to replace these failed HPFP "more" than in the past?
I am very keen on buying a used 2012 when I can afford it but then again I'm wondering if I can afford to take a chance on a fuel system grenade. Wondering if a 200k ESP on powertrain will suffice. I'm also watching Rick's lead to see if the 2013 Rams are up to snuff.
I still have a few years before making the jump so hopefully time will reveal more. Thumbs up to you guys for chasing this.
Anyway great thread for a recovering red light / green light enginerd...;)
