2015 F250/350 Diesel owners

[lmarcrum]

Anyone own or have the down low on the new 2015 Ford Super Duty diesel. In the market for a new tow vehicle. I see the horsepower is increased & a larger turbo! Just inquiring to see if there is any problems yet. Thank you

Fanbois don't miss him, people that perhaps deal in facts and reality do. If you've ever been on the wrong side of a legitimate Ford warranty rejection on their 6.7, you probably should miss him. Ford is pretty slimy, in my books, with that...


What I would do if you suspect your Ford ate and sh*t out the guts of it's Bosch CP4.2 HPFP is file a complaint with NHTSA before you dump your heap off at the Ford dealership for repair work under warranty. Get the ball rolling, and make reference to EA11003... That's right Engineering Analysis 11003 for Bosch 4.x series HPFP'd vehicles here in the USA.

Things to look for. You'll have a Check Engine Light. Pull and print out the codes, you are looking for a 0082 Low Fuel Rail Pressure code. Next thing is pull samples of fuel. You have saved all your fuel receipts, haven't you? You should, so as to have evidence that you fueled your truck properly in good faith, with diesel.

Next, I'd get a torx bit and pull that big black pressure reading dome that sits in the middle of the "V" on your HPFP with a elecrical plug and sensor on it, open it up, and take some pictures of what's inside. Do you see metal shavings or filings, like what you'd find in a machine shop, down at the bottom? Is the screen clogged with metallic debris? Yep, that's your HPFP that just ate itself, and it contaminated your WHOLE FUEL SYSTEM, COMPLETELY, FROM TANK to filters to HPFP, to accumulator, to rails to injectors too.
Take pictures of it. You'll want it as evidence, possibly for your attorney. Screw everything back together

That should get the ball rolling in your direction.

This is how the VW Touareg, AudiQ7 and Porsche Cayenne TDI folks get 'er done, when their CP4.2 pump pukes it's guts out into the whole fuel system. File that NHTSA complaint first, then tow it off to the dealership in a couple of days. It's all about following proper procedure. Close the door and lock them in to warranty coverage BEFORE they get any funny ideas about blowing you off for warranty coverage.

:B Thanks for the information but I really don't think Cummins12V98 needs any advice with your post :W OBTW News stated the Cummins would also be running the CP.4 by 2012. Wrong news again.
Smart guy, but not really accurate as much as he thinks he is.

AFAIK they have made some changes to the CP 4.2 pump for the 2015 versus what was in the vehicles from 2011 - 2014.

Exactly what changed, that I am not sure of. But I have read a few articles, all saying some changes to the CP 4. Appears one may be a longer piston stroke compared to the older models.

There won't be any good changes to a Bosch CP 4.1 or 4.2 HPFP until it's fully retired and out of the lineup and Bosch comes up with a 5 series. Any cam roller that can rotate in the bore and no longer stay trued up to the cam is a defective and deficient design, in my book.

Delphi came up with, designed and patented a Roller Shoe Follower to negate the Bosch CP 4.X series design flaws.

Shoe roller follower prevents catastrophic "self aligning" HPFP failures on Bosch CP 4.X series of p...

I only have 1400 miles on mine but haven't had any trouble. I towed the travel trailer on a 400 mile trip and have towed several loads of hay and cattle. Unloaded at 60mph I can get 21mpg, at 70mpg I can get 18.5mpg. I have the crew cab Lariat with 3.55 and 20" tires. Running around town I get from 14-16mpg. It rides good. I am heading to Colorado next week pulling a 24' tandem axle trailer with two Polaris RZR's on it. Looking forward to comparing it against my tuned Ecoboost that made the same trip back in July.

I recently traded in a 2005 Duramax 2500 for a 2015 F350 Lariat Dually. This is my first Ford and I am quite pleased with it.

I paid $55k for mine. It is a 4x4 CC with the 5th wheel tow gear and the 14k GVWR package (I have about 5500lb CCC). I am quite pleased with the truck. I get about 15 mpg (by hand), should go up as I drive it more.

They finally put a dedicated engine brake button on the dash (I believe the other two already have it). It does have a larger turbo and a more robust fuel system. I have heated and cooled seats, supplemental heat, and rear heated seats...the family is happy.

I think you will like it.

I have a 2015 King Ranch F-350 and I'm loving it, only have 2800 miles but so far so good!! This is my 3rd Powerstroke, had the infamous 6.0 and 6.4 and I'm hoping I have good luck with this truck because I had no issues with the 6.0 or the 6.4.

How many changes is that now??????

Sound's like two idiot's eeerrr pees in a pod. :B

Pot calling the kettle black here boy? err child. That CP.4 you have is ...well a non buying issue in this camp. Who wants a $12000 repair tag?
OBTW sorry about your fictional Ram falling apart. You are nothing more than NewsW in my mind. Nice bed fellows I suppose.

And a partridge and a pear tree... Fanboy :Z

OBTW... My fictional wallet is a bit heavier now that the Dodge was unloaded. :W And the 7.3 Power Stroke still has it's original seat frame and injectors. :h

My neighbor is looking to get into delivering trailers. He specked out a 15 F350 this week for $62K.

He might want to talk to the people that actually own their trucks and make a living hauling RV's and other goods. Most drive RAM's then GM's and Fords are way behind. Fish will come back and say that Ford sells more fleet trucks. Not what I am talking about.

He has. He is a retired truck driver and will be trading his 2010 F250 in. The transport company he has talked with and joining states most of their transporters are going Ford now. I know you are an avid Ford basher and are pro Dodge but sometime you will have to admit all the top 3 are pretty good trucks.

I have and do agree the top 3 are good. But I also know what I see every time I travel the highways and campgrounds where the full timers stay.

The new 6.7 Ford Diesel is better than the last two from what I see but they are not as dependable as the GM or Cummins...so far. They keep changing things so maybe they will get there?

Just look at the Mobile Suites forum. 3 years ago the vast majority were F450's now most of the new purchases are 3500 RAM/GM's.

If pointing out faults of a product is bashing, I am guilty as accused.

Our recent trip from Texas to Florida and back showed a 10:1 ratio of Fords and GM's to RAM. These are people who are pulling their trailers rather than sitting around and starring at them.

Just a correction for you as you assumed these transporters did not own their trucks. The company he is going with they all own their trucks. I don't know about other company's.
