- 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.
No change for owners who own one now.
Do all spec maintenance with Ford spec fluids and filter, never allow all but minimum biofuels near one.
Only use Ford approved additives specifically approved for the 6.7 in the amounts approved.
Personally, I would not touch a used one until there is some resolution.
Too much risk.
You cannot know buying used if the previous owner misfueled it, put unapproved or non spec fuel in it, DEF in fuel...etc. without a tear down inspection.
If you must buy one, buy a 2013 brand new, where there is some likelihood that the dealer will stand up and back you.
Keep meticulous maintenance and fuel records with receipts.
Note... failures are still coming in... even with the redesigned pump from the new Czech factory.
Niner can speak to that.
