Still lovin' my truck but had to be towed to the dealer today. My first problem.

Drove about 75 miles to a meeting this morning with no problem but 4 hours later jumped in and . . . no start. Battery was strong as the engine turned over just fine but that was the problem - turned over without starting, like no fuel! I had no prior indication of a pending problem.

I pressed the red fuel supply reset switch hidden behind the tiny panel on the passenger side without success so had her towed to the local Ford dealership.

Anyway, the service rep said the high pressure fuel pump had gone out which will involve extensive and perhaps expensive repairs. I was also told the repairs "should be" covered under warranty. Although I'm past the 36,000 mile mark it will be covered under the 100,000 mile power train warranty.

Any sharing of thoughts, ideas or experience with this type of problem would be appreciated. Thank you.

 

Wow that was a fast diagnosis. I hope they get the truck fixed quickly for you and under warranty. Keep us in the loop...

 

hopefully you'll get a speedy repair and covered under warentee without any issues.
these hpfp issues are starting to stack up.

 

Hey Savage, I wish the estimated repair time would be as fast - but it won't. The dealers diesel tech guy is out for a week and they estimate 3 weeks to repair, and I'm 75 miles from home! Ugh!!! Crazy but I have no other option then to have it repair where it sits.

Wish I'd had the Plus or Premier package on my AAA membership to have the 100 or 200 mile tow feature. Being the quick learner I am I will have the upgrade tomorrow. LOL sorta.

 

I know how long that wait can be...mine was a several weeks when it had it's electrical meltdown. Stay strong and try not to let it consume you.

 

I hate it when I get weepy!! hehe. That truck is my daily driver so I'm gonna miss her.

 

Very interesting that it gives out after a shutdown.
Almost sounds electrical related except the pump is mechanical driven from the camshaft gear.

Yes, the HPFP isn't cheap but maybe they won't have to replace the entire fuel system which is a costly repair.
If internal components broke into pieces, my guess is they'll clean/replace downstream components too which can be everything I guess.

I know you'll keep us in the loop.
Downtime is never what we need.
At this point, best to wait for the official diagnostics when the tech returns.

 

when was the last time you got fuel and how far did you drive on that tank? Might be some water in there.

 

Stack up? We've seen more dropped valves from 2011 job 1 trucks, haven't we?

 

Good luck with the repair

Keep us posted

What are you referring to in Job 1 trucks? (meaning of Job 1)

 

First production run. I think the date range is in the tech folder somewhere. Basically 2010 builds.

 

Filled up the night before at my regular fueling station. Before the 75 mile trip I probably did 15 to 20 miles.

 

Keep the reciept..might want to start talking to them..after that many miles it is probably not WIF though.
