You could spend $1,500 on a new pump at 100,000 miles, get a bad tank of fuel, and still be paying $10,000 two weeks later when your shiny new HPFP grenades. Perhaps as time goes on I'll be proven wrong, but mileage doesn't seem to be killing these things, which makes preemptive replacement a waste of money.

Wow... 6 pages and a $13k failure is business as usual for a 6.7 Diesel..
Geeze, OP.. I am sorry this happened to you. NOBODY deserves a failure like this under normal use... I just couldn't imagine having this happen to me like this.
Good grief I am glad I personally didn't drink the diesel kool-aid when it was time to buy a real truck.. The 6.7 HPFP and Turbo failures makes the 6.0 debacle look like a blown radiator hose... we will see how that "there are thousand and thousands running around with no issues" argument holds up as these motors get serious mileage on them.
6.8 King Triton V10... Long live the king....

Business as usual? I think not.
These issues are bloated on a forum like this, where people find them when they have issues.
Diesel trucks have never been good at running on water.

Well if I decide to go the diesel route, I'm not going to lose any sleep over this. If by some chance I pull the short straw and lose a HPFP in warranty AND I'm unlucky enough to have FOMOCO deny the claim, I will fall back on an insurance policy to cover it. If the insurance is too expensive or I get well into 100k + miles, I will take my chances. I'm pretty sure that once out of warranty, I can handle the repair on my own if need be. By then I shouldn't have to. I should have an emergency fund sufficient to cover this and then some.
A previous poster made a very valid point, if you can afford a truck that costs $50K or more, you should be prepared to operate said vehicle. Regular mx on a diesel is going to be more than my 5.4 gasser. Fore-warned is fore-armed.
If this were to start happening REGULARLY, we'd be hearing about it a lot more and from a lot more sources than just an online forum.
I have about 6-12 months before I will be pulling the trigger on a new ride. I plan to listen and watch closely.

Unfortunately the only good news would be if you happen to have purchased the extended warranty and it is able to cover your issue. At least you got your use out of the truck. 113k miles in 2 years is some serious motoring...
Really? Only 3 HPFP failures so far? Seems like more than that. Wasn't there one just last month?

Haven't there been at least that many complete engine failures posted here as well? For those venturing past 100k miles, it seems like the extended warranty is a wise insurance policy.

I think that I was among the first to report a HPFP failure. Nov of 2011. Then there was Rick's. Thats 2, and I am sure that there have been more. The problem is that it is a real problem that Ford will not adddress. Ford sales are good now so why should Ford worry about a few wnsatisfied customers.
There were how many hundred thousand super duty trucks sold?
If you're really that scared of losing money, don't get married. You want to see statistics?! The average person gets married more than once, and a good woman will make 10,000$ look like a sunday brunch budget.

At one point, the 6.4 diesels were the hot topic, with fuel system issues, and as time goes on, they keep getting mileage piled on them, and keep running great.
Sure, the occasional person, has the occasional issue, but they keep on working. Out of fairness, for some reason the 6.4's seem to have less "water in fuel" stories. Maybe the pump is lightly different?

Why is ANYONE talking about warranty coverage for the OP? I'm confused... Failure is at 113,000 miles and he does NOT have ESP? Did I miss something?
This has NOTHING to do with Ford denying claims....
I sympathise for the OP, but there are risks in life...

I know.... I know...
I don't know why everyone is all freaked out by 10,000$, there are all kinds of vehicles that can easily cost more than that in repairs.
It's also a burden to be worn by the market leader...
I've seen a guy put injectors into a cummins 3 times within 60,000 miles, but each time, he insisted "it's money well spent; it's a cummins, it will last a million miles now."
Now if it was a 6.0 ford diesel, we'd call it a POS, cause everyone knows the 6.0 diesel is a crap bucket piece of junk. People are stupid, 90% of the time.
Look at that guy ON YOUTUBE THATS BUILDING ALL KINDS OF 6.0 powered vehicles... someone better tell him the 6.0 diesels are all gonna blow up... I don't think he knows, cause he's SOMEHOW used them in a ton of vehicles, bagged the crap out of them, and continues to do so.
Someone better tell him quick.
