And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust (yeah)

 

... I wonder if they will honor the warranty?

 

So I was home in WY getting ready for a trip to CO. A couple of days before the trip I had two instances of crank but no start but after a couple of hours the engine would start and drive without problems. Drove from WY to CO with two stops along the way where I shut off the engine and restarted without trouble. The morning after arriving in CO the engine would not start after intermittent attempts all day resulting in a tow to Phil Long Ford in Colorado Springs. I find it hard to believe that driving 400 miles without trouble, parked over night and crank no start the next morning would be result of CP4 failure.

 

What was your maintenance like? How often did you drain the water separator? How often do you change filters? Do you use Motorcraft filters? I like to gather info....

Also, hope the warranty covers you.

 

I drain almost each fill-up and have not seen water ever. air and fuel filters every 15K miles with OEM.

 

All that "crank no start" is hell on a cp4. Gotta wonder was that a result of a bad cp4 or was there another issue which led to a bad cp4.

 

I find it improbable that I can drive 400 miles without issue, park over night and find it won't start in the morning. Surely if it was a CP4 failure then it would happen while driving or with engine running.

 

colorado must be bad juju

 

How to Disaster Proof the 6.7L F Truck ...

Get it towed to Ford Dealer on their dime -

Get the confirmation that it's a blown CP4 and covered under warranty because no sign of contamination.

Wait 6 weeks for a new HPFP install then told still loosing fuel pressure.

Week 7 go to Toyota, hand them the title, get 28,500 on trade without having to wait for repair and let them deal with it.

Head on down the road.

 

Comical. Toyota? In the 80s the bodies literally rusted off the frame before the warranty expired. In the 90s the frames folded like cheap lawn chairs and they had to buy back entire trucks. In the 00s they had head gasket failures, beds that would crack because they were plastic, rear ends that blew up, emissions issues that cost four figures to repair, etc. And the all new Tundra and Tacoma have both had absolutely disastrous launches that are likely going to cost Toyota $1B or more. Engine failures, transmission failures, turbo failures, you name it.

Just absolute junk trucks. You traded chicken pox for cancer.

 

Beautiful truck that barely gets out of its own way, struggles to pull a single jet ski, barely holds your 350lb woman, and thr mileage still sucks. Oh, but it's reliable?

 

Truth! I have a 5th gen 4runner and it's gutless

 

Another one bites the dust!!

I never drained my water separator.

I didn’t run a fuel additive till I was at or about 175,000 miles.

I used high volume sales gas stations.

My CP4 lasted till 215,300 miles before I removed it to install the DCR.

There’s no rhyme or reason for the failures of the CP4 outside of them being plain junk.
