I use the "Truck" diesel pumps.....There are no Gas pumps to make a mistake with.......Plus there are DEF Pumps when I need it.

I'm pretty sure gasoline or diesel eats away and melts styrofoam rather instantly, and for that reason, I have doubts that the OP's story is accurate.
I could be wrong, but for that one reason, I'm hesitant to believe the story right now.

If the OP is accurate about all this, indeed I believe a wrong doing has been done. However I am currently a touch leery.
The real shame is that ford decides that water is present, and doesn't back you up to the insurance company. I think that is cause they know they can't really prove anything.

This story seams a little too familiar, but I could be wrong.

For the first time since I purchased my truck, I drained the water filter today. No water found. Always get fuel at one of two stations that sell a lot of fuel. Always use pm-22 too. It's certainly cheap enough.
Seems like every few weeks or once a month we get a post like this. New poster, same story. I never seem to read the final entry from these threads. "I got my truck back and my auto insurance paid for this" or "I had to write a huge check today to get my truck back". Maybe I just lose interest in these threads before they end.

I can always count on you to provide interesting dialog opportunities. I am very glad to get the Ford out of my driveway...the new to me DuraMax is the industry leader in diesel truck customer satisfaction. Even Diesel Power Magazine crowned the 06-07 DuraMax's as the best buy in used diesels. With only 60,000 miles on the odometer, this Chevy should take me wherever I need to go until the new GM's are introduced in 2015. By then, the Beta testing should be complete on the new Ram 3500 as well...my days as a Beta tester are over...once burned, twice shy...
You can always be counted on to attempt to validate Ford's despicable position on their HPFP issues by dredging up some other brands difficulties. Unfortunately, the example you provided is not the same circumstance as the OP's. First, the GM you reference is not being considered for warranty coverage...it is out of warranty on time alone. Second, GM has not been asked to repair his truck...only intervene in a dispute between a customer and a dealer...how's that go...no financial skin in the game for them...
The end game here, in the OP's case, is Ford has again invalidated warranty coverage on a repair to keep dealership relationships intact at the expense of the end user, the owner. Despicable and Shameful
Regards

I traded an early '07 Chevy Dury diesel in on my present Ford, three years ago. I really liked the D/A combo. It was a smooth power train. I'm sure you will get many happy miles. Congrats.

Maybe Pyro gauges, not that you can do much with the info other then slow down. Plenty of turbo cool down timers too that are easy enough to install.
Had one, really liked it, just that the SB 2500 06 D-max was not enough for the toy hauler.

The DMAX trucks IMHO are nicer than the fords for the 1st 100,000, and after that they start feeling worn out, loose, and rattly.
The fords seem a little rougher off the get go, but they seem to hold up better long term.
The dodges seem a little rough off the get go, and get rougher.

Duane,
I will likely leave the truck stock. It only has 60,000 miles on it and runs great. The front tires are brand new Michelins and the rears are 75% Goodyear's. I will be putting some running boards (tubes) on it as it is a bit tall for Deb to jump up in easily. The truck was fully srviced with allew filters and an oil change by the dealer I bought it from...I am so pleased with Mossy Picyune that if I buy a new Chevy when the 15's come out... I will buy it there.
Regards

Tried a DMAX before we ordered the F350. The DMAX rode more like a car than a truck but the cab seemed cramped to me. Haven't got the new F350 yet but looking forward to many years of reliable service.

Too bad there is the occasional HPFP issue, but then again those seem few and far between.
Personally I doubt many of the new common rail diesel trucks will live as long as the generations previous, but thats my opinion.

The new ford super duty sets the bar really high.

To the OP....As you probably are realizing, you have a losing hand.
Ford has made their ruling, and I have never seen them reverse themselves....As a famous saying goes "There ain't thing one you can do about it".
Reading your story made me feel like throwing up...
I happen to own a GM, but take no pleasure when another brand treats a customer so badly.. It has become all too common with Ford.
Nobody deserves this kind of treatment.
Wish I had a better answer for you.
Good luck with whatever path you choose going forward.
Rick, I didn't know that you got a LBZ. They have a VERY good reputation.
Many think that they are the best of that era. I am sure it will treat you well.

We can blame the owner, the fuel, the dealer, the vehicle but I personally believe Ford could handle these situations better. When I purchased my 2011 I used this site & others like this to gain as much information as possible about the reliability of the 6.7. Rick especially helped me to feel comfortable with my purchase. I know that any vehicle can have issues. What's important to me is how they will be resolved. My dealer has been outstanding. All warranty work done on my 2011 was completed without issue. My personal experience with my dealer & Ford is complete satisfaction. I would be lying though if I said I wasn't worried about a fuel related failure.
2-1/2 years ago this site helped me to decide to purchase a 6.7. It looks like recently it may be helping many to do the opposite.
The internet can be a powerful tool.
