Good news that they are using all 8 cylinders now, that seems like a more balanced approach. I agree that they will likely replace one failed injector.

I guess that requires the EGR valve to be closed during a regen.

MisterScotty, sorry to hear your engine needed to be replaced and the run-around you went through. Glad it is being taken care of. It does sound like a faulty injector. My guess is they will only replace the failed injector. Each injector is printed with a "quality" code so that the new injector can be programmed "down" to match the quality of the other injectors.
Thanks. It is getting sorted. That just seems like an odd way of doing it but getting it sync'd makes sense. Just want to be ready to head to the mountain Labor Day weekend with the Voltage. Fingers crossed.

UPDATE: Well, slow in posting an update. After a 1-day letter writing campaign to a few folks at Ford, I have a new motor, turbos etc. Only the one injector was replaced. 75K extended bumper to bumper warranty. More than I asked for. A little painful to get there but we did. I was shocked at how quickly the dealership had the truck back together. Kudos to Rush Truck Center in Denver for great customer service.

A few observations. I think the old motor got louder and louder. I am assuming the injector was bad out of the gate or went bad shortly after delivery. The new motor is much quieter than the old motor. Now I just want to get some break in miles on it before towing Labor Day weekend. It is weird being in a truck that you have had but having a new motor and driving it judiciously.

Kudos to Ford for taking care of me. I understand that sometimes things happen. First major issue I have had with a Ford ever.

Congratulations on the repair. No one wants to go through that but it's good to know you were able to get Ford's attention and a satisfactory solution.

Glad to hear you're back up and running. I hadn't heard of Rush Truck Center before. They would be a bit of hike for me but it's good to know they are there in case my dealer doesn't come through on anything.
