why is it disturbing? It doesn’t mean they think they’re “frequent” but rather that or does happen and lack of parts makes it a fiasco. It seems rather normal for a place people go to repair things to keep parts in stock
and this failure can lead to a truck being stranded so it’s proactive planning if anything. And it just might lead to a guy being able to get on the road much sooner
I wish more dealers kept more things in stock even beyond these cp4 kits. I could think of lots of parts they should keen on hand but probably dont

Sounds disturbing to me, especially on new trucks that cost north of 60k at a bare minimum these days.

The way I read it, it's disturbing in the sense that the issue is wide spread enough for dealers to know, but Ford cannot supply the replacement parts, so dealers have to go aftermarket on relatively new trucks and even then, they can't use it for warranty work. The disturbing part is Ford doesn't give a crap about its diesel buyers enough to keep a bare minimum of spare parts in stock somewhere in the parts supply chain.
things down to modules, transmission replacements and windshields have been missing from a lot of dealers stock and nowhere in sight for weeks on end
I can say the first time I have a truck stranded for an unreasonable amount of time due to no parts in stock (on a new vehicle) I will not be a Ford customer ever again
not sure if other makes and models are any better but I’ll certainly be looking into it

oh you think it’s just diesel parts?

It seems to me Ford doesn't give a crap about its diesel buyers enough to keep a bare minimum of spare parts in stock somewhere in the parts supply chain so when needed the dealers can at least get the OEM version within a reasonable amount of time.

Do you understand the difference between offering a cheaper choice for out of warranty work, versus having no choice due to Ford not being able to locate parts, warranty or otherwise? It's not like OP left his truck in Missouri because the the OEM parts were available and he didn't want factory parts.

2015-25k
2015-125k
2017-100k
2019-150k
2022-85k so far.
never use any additive and might go over 30k on fuel filters once in a blue moon..shhhhh.. but i do try to remember to change them around 30k.
I never knew there was an issue until last year, or maybe the year before cause i never paid attention to the cp4 threads, just thought it was idiots putting gas in or water intrusion. But it is interesting. One thing is for sure, i want to get away from ford, and dont want a crappy ram or gm. I need to stop needing to pull 14k and do so many miles. Vehicle are getting too expensive and too delicate.

Just because they stock those part’s doesn’t mean the pump failed due to poor quality. Someone may have put gas, def or something else in the tank accidentally.Vandalism is also a possibility. I’d rather have the parts available to get the truck going than not.

So there are only 3 makers of 1 ton and up trucks. They’ve figured it out, keep production low and prices high. The economy is dependent on these trucks. Ford is focusing more on the ev’s, so much so they are bringing a Chinese battery manufacturer to Ohio as a partnership…except there was a little backlash, so Farley(the actual idiot of the family) and co re-worded the partnership so it’s not actually china opening a factory here.
so not happy with ford. I do work for a retired Toyota engineer and years ago he said ford was the leader of battery technology in the auto world, but subsidies made them slow roll the tech out. I don’t mind ev’s, the push is ignorant and the infrastructure isn’t there, plus it’s a technology that needs a stable society to flourish. That only going to deteriorate in the years to come. I’m ready.
