Stranded

I noticed yesterday when I left the office a longer than normal crank to start time. Then today, a reallllllly long one, then next stop, not startie, crank for about 15 or so seconds and ICP fail comes up on the dash. It started about 45 minutes later so I drove it to the dealer.

HPOP connector?
other oil leak on hi pressure side?

I dont believe the wireing harness recall has been done, could it be that?

The big bummer is that I may be tent camping in the desert this weekend which really sux. I have to be there and now I cant tow my trailer, looks like a windy tent camping in the dez.

The block on the hpop? is that the bracket deal to make the connection stable?

Without even looking at it, they are saying at least a week, also asumeing it is the hpop.

I have 03 that started doing the samething this past weekend. Long crank starts but sometimes starts right up. Batteries are good with clean terminals. Have not had time to get to the dealer yet. I cross my fingers every time I start now. I have no idea what it could be. Hope to get it in by this weekend.

THnx bowtie-

how long and what is involved in any hpop work? There is a fair amount of disassembly to get to it, it looks like. What is the typical turn time baring parts backorders? How can I ensure that the updated hpop bracket gets used?

sorry for all the questions, I just feel like a member of the family is in the hospital.

I am also this weekend going to tow my "I can strip it to ~6K trailer" with my F-150 which is going to suk.

Well, I got my truck back today, the service rep says "all current TSB's were performed". But after I got back to the office, I noticed that the part # for the bracket was not on the paperwork, just the pump, block, screens, gaskets and such. Should I worry/complain about this? My concern is that the next time it goes out I will be out of warrenty or stranded out in the Desert with my trailer. The truck has 53K now.

Bump.

These are the part #'s for materials used. I dont find any for the bracket unless the block is it. Can anyone tell from this?

5C4Z 9A543 A Pump asy
5C37 9C854 A Block asy
3C3Z 9433 AA Kit - Gas
FL 2016 Kit - ele
oil
anti-free
5C3Z 9C968 CA Regulator

Those are the only parts listed on the sheet?

Do I have the right to demand the latest update for the bracket? Is the bracket included in the block assembly above?

4C3Z-9B246-A is the part # I come up with for the kit that includes the bracket and some of the parts listed above.

5C4Z 9A543 A Pump asy high pressure oil pump
5C37 9C854 A Block asy block on the back of hpop
3C3Z 9433 AA Kit - Gas intake gaskets
5C3Z 9C968 CA Regulator injection pressure regulator

4C3Z-9B246-A is the block kit. like i said these parts are backordered everytime i needed them. since you were traveling they might just have done this to get you back on the road. i too have had to do this due to a traveler. i did not want to but i had to.

That's odd that the parts are backordered in the US. We Canuks are always last on the list for TSBs and parts availability, and we have tonnes of them. We stock 10 kits at all times, but never have a problem with restocking.

Thanx for the info guys. I found the kit at a couple of dealers around here but it was not in stock at the dealer that did the service. I had called the rep to make sure all the tsb's would be done and even gave the part # of the kit, he assured me all will be done and when it was completed he said that all were done but it is not on the invoice. Ill call the dealer back and see when they want to finish it. I really dislike dealing with the service reps as I havent met any that know spit. Seems there is always a disconect between the rep and the tech.

Just wanted to let you all know what happened to my wife yesterday - She was driving my 05 f250 (20,000 miles) along the interstate, got off on an exit, stopped at the stop sign and the truck flashed some sort of battery light at her and then died. She tried to restart it and no dice - it would crank but wouldn't catch. She had it towed to the nearest ford dealer and I met her there, which was about an hour and a half away from home. Talked to the service dept this morning and the tech had pulled a handful of codes off - service advisor said something about the HPOP probably being the culprit - I'll keep you all updated. By the way the Ford roadside service was awesome - my wife (7mos pregnant) and two kids (4 and 1) were with her at the time and the operator was very helpful, called her back multiple times and made sure they were okay until the towtruck showed up.

how long is long. your describing something mine does. 4 sec sometimes 2.5 sec cranks. but usually it's 2.5 when warm and closer to 4 sec when cold. is this a problem. mine has been in for long cranks before i bought it but i thought for diesels it was normal. as i hate to bring it in and have them say nothing is wrong
