the 6.7 has proven to be extremely reliable up to date, problem is people post about issues, not great reliability. The 1% having troubles can be very vocal. Mines got 70k km's and has been trouble free to date.
Very true, and when the cost is 10,500-12,000 to fix a failed CP4.2 injection pump and the manufacturer refusing to cover it under your warranty, it tends to make the head lines.
As stated earlier both GM and VW fix these pump issues without blaming the consumer. Ford highly deserved black eye is for not standing behind there product. We just purchased a new truck with a CP3 injection pump, if we had purchased a truck with a CP4.2 pump it would have been a GM based on these warranty coverage issues.
I would bet that most people that have had a GM CP4.2 pump failure and not even aware that that was the issue. As GM just fixes it and gives in back to the owner "all fixed and ready to go" enjoy!
Given the 6.0 and 6.4 track record, this has not been very smart on Ford's part. Or the failure numbers are higher than we know and it would effect their bottom line more by masking over the problem than p!$$!ng off a small group of customers. Chris
