I remember when warranties were just safeguards in “just in case” something breaks. Now warranties are pretty much necessary if you don’t want a vehicle sending you into the poorhouse.

[@markm0000]

Which is why financing one of these rolling heaps is an even bigger travesty. Not only are you paying out the nose for this fine engineering, you’re paying the banks interest, the insurance to cover it, and taxed for it all. When the day comes that it’s finally paid off, consider yourself lucky it even got you that far in one piece. Also all that money you just spent many long years of your working life to afford, has vanished into thin air thanks to depreciation.

@@markm0000 too true - I have a 2017 Powerstroke that I struggle whether or not I want to sell it. Been a great truck, only problem is the infamous upper oil pan leak. Aside from that, it’s never given us any issues. I did all of the “upgrades” to prevent huge repair bills, keep the oil clean and the fuel clean. Paid off, and I hope I can get at least 10 more years out of it. Cross your fingers, cause stuff just isn’t what it used to be.

@@mr8610 Unless you absolutely must have a turbo diesel pickup to move a very heavy payload on a gooseneck trailer for long distances without a CDL… it is not worth keeping at all. Get a gasser pickup instead. The only ones worth getting anymore are the V8s with no turbo that make around 400hp. The V6s and smaller with turbos are going to end up with the exact same problems as your Powerstroke. Too much engineering for the sake of it and not enough common sense. If you keep that truck for any longer it will be completely depreciated and things will break without a sense or reason. It will become a money pit like every other modern vehicle.

I had a horrible experience with a Ford Dealership just south of Indy. i lost the pump seal between the fuel side of the CP4 and the weep chamber. they stated that is was a fuel system contamination. the crazy part is that they had the Knowledge that i was a former Ford Engineer and was aware of the CP4 issues. they claimed to fully check out the system and condemned the fuel system. reality was they never checked anything. I obtained the Ford GSB, and had an independent check the system per the Bulletin, disassembled the pump and found no contamination, also took pictures of everything before any checking was done by the independent tech and found no witness marks from the alleged testing that was listed on the service invoice for diagnosis. this was even escalated to Ford Motor Company and they did not do anything. Now on the flip side, the issue was resolved with a $900 replacement pump and $250 line kit plus a lot of labor. but much less than the $13k that was diagnosed incorrectly. Here is another thing to keep in mind. the CP4 has it's issues, and does not have a lot of headroom or tolerance for poor fuel, water in fuel or DEF in fuel, BUT Ford has shipped Millions of these pumps and the failure rate if you do not put DEF in the fuel is extremely low from a percentage standpoint, less than .01% from the data information i got form a few friends at Ford. Keep in mind that Ford has produced over 6 million of these engines that are in F250-F450 trucks and they also use these in Medium and HD trucks that are not in those production numbers. Also from that data from Ford, 90% of the failures are on Light Duty trucks aka F250-F450, or rather "Consumer Models" and are due to DEF Contamination. (or my take is Why did they put the DEF Fill right next to the Fuel Fill). With all that said, My failure was at 425,000 miles on the truck. and not due to DEF or other fuel contamination, a seal just wore out. My issue is with the Dealership that did not PREFORM THE PROPER DIAGNOSIS STEPS.

[@jcip1]

As a Ford Rep this is a concern I deal with almost every week and use the Ford produced job aids. It’s a source of dissatisfaction with all my fleets when a fuel system breakdown occurs.

I 100% agree with you. I had one of our customers bring a 2018 6.7 f350 in with p0087. It also had a low boost code and a regen frequency code. Ford quoted them 21k for a fuel system, turbo and dpf service. I ran a high pressure fuel system test three times and it only failed once with the ids. Pulled the frp sensor, FP regulator and VCV and found no metal or rust. I found a weak cp4, a clogged oil separator filter which caused the regen problem and in turn caused the excess oil in the intake which gummed up the map sensor causing it to read low boost. The next f250 they brought was not so lucky. Glitter city on the vcv and a no start. Full fuel system kit

My old 08 was denied HPP due to "bad fuel". Ford denied me everything was rust was found on the pump. My adviser stated this gatoraid color fuel is B2 and the apple juice is B5. and I have apple juice color fuel in the truck which carries more water then B2 fuel. I told them I could not control what the station sells. I was still denied. I was able to get in contact with a ford corp engineer who agreed with me and not with the dealership. Told me to call him a week later. I did and was told to submit my maintenance records. I did. When I bought the truck the rep told me do everything by 50% so I did. Oil changes every 5k and fuel filters every 10k or once a year. By that standard I had changed almost double the recommend fuel filters. Because of that, my repair was covered. That Engineer saved my almost $11,000. I thanked him almost every year till he retired.

The last time I took my 2016 6.7 to the dealership it was supposed to get new fuel filters and an oil change. they changed the oil but not the filter, which could have been an honest mistake, but they tried to justify that the old filter came from them by the numbers that were printed on it, which I know was not true because I found a picture on the internet showing a Ford Motorcraft filter with the same numbers on it so I am sure those were just some manufacturing numbers. My next service time I did the work myself and when I changed the fuel filters they looked old, so I suspect they did not change those either! After changing the filters again myself on the next schedule, I could tell they had very little noticeable buildup on them, which I again believe supported my suspicions that the fuel filters had not been changed. I have been doing my own regular scheduled service work since and dread the thought of having a problem that will force me to take it into a dealership for repair.

I started my automotive career with FoMoCo in the 80s. Over my career I worked in three different Ford dealerships in two different states. That was a span of about ten years. After that I thought life would surely be better if I left the land of 90% warranty repair orders and went to Toyota which was then the land of 90% customer pay repair orders. Stayed there for another ten years until as a technician I had essentially gone as far as I was going to go. One thing that I learned the hard way was that dealerships earned the title of Stealerships by and large . I personally never worked for one that wasn’t extremely suspect in their dealings with their customers and employees. Part of the reason why was because the owners were generally far removed from what was going on in their businesses. As long as the GM produced the numbers that the owners were looking for details didn’t matter. That’s why most owners give about 10% of the company to a GM to handle the daily nasty stuff. I did work at one Toyota dealership that the owner was hands on into every single thing going on in his dealership and he was a slimy crooked SOB that was hated by every single employee in his company. I finally left dealership life and went to work in a smaller independent shop that was owned and operated by a technician who watched his company like a hawk. I should’ve left much sooner in hindsight. I said all that to say that the term Stealership has been a hard earned title by dealerships. One Ford dealer was so crooked that FoMoCo swooped in one day with their audit team and busted them for all manner of warranty fraud. It went into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. We just showed up for work one morning and all the doors were locked and a sign said that it was closed until further notice. Maybe this is why FoMoCo is trying to completely eliminate their dealerships as they currently operate. I can’t say how many dealerships are crooks vs. how many actually go to bat for their customers but I can say that out of the six that I have worked for they all had earned their reputation as being slimy. A talented technician, especially in the diesel industry, should realize that the dealerships are paying him peanuts and that technician can go much further in reaching their financial goals by working for themselves. You’re a hired gun and that’s all. You may as well get paid what you’re worth in what can be a very expensive career choice to excel in.

Google Neste renewable diesel. It is diesel made from biological feedstocks, but using a different process, which makes it 100% compatible with all diesel engines. People claim it is cleaner (fuel filters last longer), and can be made with cloud points as low as minus 40 deg F. I don’t know if that is what he mentions Costco sells, but Neste has kind of taken over the phrase “renewable diesel”, so I assume so.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I don't work @ford.

[@smtshrek3674]

This is because ford dealers are scared of that warranty charge back. If there’s no rust, varnish, gas, or def then it’s warranty. No way to prove it was there before if it’s not there now. And that came out of an FSEs mouth years ago and I have followed it since.

[@roadglide1142]

I cannot justify spending nearly $100K on a truck that uses such a crappy CP4 fuel pump , & still have to spend more money on aftermarket stuff to mitigate disaster! So glad I went 7.3 Godzilla which has been flawless so far at 19K miles .

[@bisenbart]

well, so glad our feet has gas (32 ambulances) E-450 and 6 F-550's with the 6.8 v10 or the 21 up with the 7.3 v8 gassers. So much cheaper to fix and they can idle and not cause issues.

[@mro4440]

Curious what your fuel costs are doing with idling those 7.3's. How many hours/miles are you getting on those engines? We run 6.7's due to road miles. 14000 lbs on hills and curves needs the torque!! Getting ready to remount a 2017 with 300K and 9000+ engine hours soon. Our 2022 6.7 with the 10 speed gets better fuel mileage than the 6 speeds... Our monthly maint is around $1000 per month. PM and breakdowns.

[@bisenbart]

@@mro4440 Sorry about the late reply. We dont have a lot of hills and power has never been an issue. We have a 2021 e-450 with the 7.3 that has 66k on it and 5000 idle hours. We idle a lot! We have gotten rid of some with 25k idle hours with 300k on the v10 engines with very little problems. I like not having to deal with regens and def and 16 qts. of oil.

Having a trusted professional technician is worth more than people think, trusted technicians, usually work for trusted dealerships. and people, TAKE CARE OF YOUR TECHNICIAN!! that can be the difference if you're not 100% sure it's warranty, your tech going to bat for you, and saving you tons of money!

Bearded Ford Tech on YT

[@Uncle_Fester24]

I think the "stealership" comes from the rate to get something fixed. They don't realize they are paying for the technical experience and training that the techs have. I have never in the past complained about the cost because I know it was fixed correctly with OEM parts correctly and I can wipe it out of my worries.

[@Lsgriff]

I could agree with you if the tech with all the training and knowledge was getting more of the $105/hr labor charge instead of $22/hr.

But can you trust the dealership/technician will show you the actual parts that came out of your truck or a previous one that came out of another truck. Hmmm I just wish you were closer. I can’t tell you how much business an honest tech, somebody people can trust would generate. If only the dealerships would really learn that.

It’s amazing that when you buy a new diesel truck from the dealer, the diesel option is about 10k for the entire diesel engine. Then if something breaks, you tell me a piece of the engine is 15k to fix. Just put in a new engine is that’s the case for 10k.
