We did not get a new engine...only a $10,000 HP fuel system. Truck runs just like it did before the big failure.
I have not traded the truck...yet. The plans we had for a big toy hauler were put on hold for at least 6 months so we do not have to trade right now. We were leaning towards the new 2013 GM trucks because the new larger cab was rumored to be introduced in August 2012. We do not want the current mini-cab GM truck. If Dodge goes to DEF injection in their 2013 HD pickup's, they will get the sale.
Regards

This should not cost you the entire repair bill. If you have comprehensive damage coverage, standard on any policy I am aware of, it covers the repair less the deductible. Like getting a rock through the windshield, you had no responsibility in the acquisition of the damage. You do not have to prove where the water came from. If you think you know where you got bad fuel, tell the insurance company the location. They will take the investigation over from there.
Call your insurance company...that's why you pay the premium...and comprehensive claims do not raise your rates....

Wow !!! I can't believe Ford is acting like this. It seems as if they don't want people to buy these $60,000 diesel's and only go with gassers. I would think there is some sort of warranty abritration system in place or other legal recourse.

Ford is setting a precedence...and they are being consistent.
The day will come where diesel insurance rates will go up due to these failures. Just wait...it will be like sports cars...own a diesel.....rates up 20%...just wait.
Will be another tax on diesel owners.

DimSum. That could happen, probably very quick if alot of claims get filed. Would be a bite.

Insurance companies are in the business of making money. Just like when big natural disasters happen...our rates go up.
I see this as no different. Its happening all around the diesel community. As soon as the first company gets wind of it, we will be left holding the bag. In our case, it will be distributing the costs of these repairs into everyone's insurance rates.
Not much we can do unfortunately. I don't want a Cummins w/o DEF and I don't like the GM pickup. Toyota doesn't make a 1 ton. Pretty much out of options.

I changed my air filter today and was shocked to find that the dirt in it was wet. Mud. It has not rained in decades down here in S.TX. Only fog 4 days ago. I think it has something to do with how the air is routed to the filter. I'm thinking about the snow packing issues. Long shot?
