No disrespect... What I don't understand is that you are willing to pay to have your truck towed back home, 350 miles, which at $2 per mile average would be $700 instead of having ford hook it up and diagnose it for $100? It just may be something simple like a $50 sensor that would get you back on the road.
Thanks.. But the tow bill is only $460 and insurance is paying most of it.
However... Being home gives me more ease of mind and friends to help

Like I said it just might be something simple like a $50 sensor. A scan is something you will need to do anyway when you get home, otherwise you'll just be throwing parts at it. It just may be a lot cheaper in the long run, considering your tow bill and the expense of your buddy making the 700 mile round trip to pick up your 5th wheel.

I get what you're saying but piece of mind is cheaper than a tow bill when you end up in the hospital with a heart attack from the stress and if it's more than a $50 sensor then I would have to be home anyway so get the loan to fix it

Can't say as I blame you for wanting it home to fix it.

Home is more friendly than a hotel room. Plus you know dealership.

Got the truck in the shop back home here 😊 they will let me know tomorrow what they find out.!
Told them about the codes and he said fuel pump notorious for failing. I told him that I thought I might have got some bad fuel and he said highly likely!
So that station I bought fuel at should have to repair it.

update

Waiting to hear from the shop about what went wrong with my 2011 6.7 litre diesel



Other than this issue I love my truck. It has performed above and beyond what I expected!👍

I would start a claim with the fuel station and with your insurance.
