Eco-diesel Alert

[Magnum_Willys]

Well loved my 2015 Ram EcoDiesel for 110,000 miles but made mistake of keeping it past warranty.  High pressure fuel pump took a dump and metal shavings contaminated  whole fuel system, tank etc to tune of $13,000  .  Guess F150 uses same pump.  I won’t be driving a diesel outside warranty anymore.   Happened to the Cummins a bit couple years ago too I guess.  They had an $8500 repair kit to fix it. 

Hate paying for extended warranty but looks like its a necessity nowadays.

No chance DEF got in the fuel?

Ouch! 
I sure hope My 6.7L Powerstroke lasts longer than that.
So far from what I have read it's pretty bullet proof

This screams fuel contamination.
I bet the pump failed for a different reason at least.

I've seen a crap ton of 6.7's and the only ones that have ever needed a HP pump replaced have been because of fuel contamination. It's about a $10k repair.

Good filters are cheap.

Love my Ol cummins.  Can see and name every major part under hood.  No emisions. 400hp or 500 flip of a switch.  Just saying old isn't bad... Prices they are charging now man o man.

What's Your fuel mileage on that dinosaur?

6 speed so 55mph its good, 16-19.  Work trailers around 14-15.  To Idaho mnts with 9000lb toyhauler at 72mph was 11mpg.  Pulled Vantage at 72 in 6 gear cruise control 1250 egt's.  100hp tune. 36psi boost, coolant 215degrees.  Hand calc.  Lie meter claims 14mpg.

Not bad at all. I second guess buying My 2015 power stroke all the time because of the cost. but so far it's been almost flawless. I know its still a baby with only 32K on the clock but so far so good. Also the Fords look so much better than the Dodges.

What axle gears?  Seams like it should be better.

I haul a 11k TT and hand calc 17 in my 06 auto doing 65 to 70 to Montana and back once a year.
I tow in level 2 on the EFI switch, about 50hp.

Fuel contamination will ruin your pump too and it would be super expensive to fix also. This has nothing to do with emissions.

I loved my 2001 Ford.  Cabs are great.  Drive well.  Dodge is ok cummins great.  Its all a trade off.  Not a Ford Chev Dodge thing it is a Gov. emissions thing.... My truck has 65k now, all deletes and many upgrades etc.  Hope it lasts long time from now.  It was 1/2 price of newer one so we will see eh?  I can say 100% to all, put quality fuel filter on and Bilsteins are great!  Send oil to Blackstone labs every year or two.  Never overheat auto trans, use 4 low if possible.  Watch u joints.  Change oils.  Delete when its time...DONT be afraid to spin her up (rpm) its good for em imop.
