I followed Rick's thread when it happened. I read the 6.7 forums when it came out to see what issues may arise with this new Ford motor.
Funny thing to me was, when the HPFP and water mixture seemed to have some sort of link, and folks started having to pay 10k to fix their truck, I suggested installing an aftermarket water separator between the tank and fuel pump (like many here do on the lowly 7.3) Seems to me that if a little water and a WIF light that doesn't warn you in time can cause so much damage, a secondary filter/separator sounded like a good idea.
Almost everyone ignored me. Those that didn't made comments about that was either a bad idea or would void their warranty (that wasn't paying for stuff anyway).
I don't get it, but I'd guess Chebby is about the same as Ford as to what all fails when water gets in the system. More than just the injectors.

To bad they didn't heed your suggestion at the time. Now they are scrambling to get this system on their trucks.

Check out this thread. Folks are fairly nervous about what might happen...

When I sold my 04.5 5.9 CR Cummins I was fortunate enough to still have the factory injectors in it with 205k on it. Regardless of the fact I was running elevated rail pressure levels cause I was a moron.
But I am sure this helped...

And the 04 emission compliant engines are dinosaurs compared the the 08 and 2012 compliant engines.
