2015 HPFP?

[Ice Cream Sammich]

Short story and then a question.

A friend of mine just purchased a used 2012 F250. He decided to get the 12 month warranty from the dealership as he was over 100k miles and a month later, his HPFP grenaded. I am not sure if the HPFP grenaded into the motor or just took out the whole fuel system, but it was written up as a $7,000 repair bill (great decision to get the warranty).

This is not a story about a friend who has a hair dresser that once knew a bum that took money from a guy that sells cookies... etc. This was a good friend and has me worried about mine.

I still have all emissions and will probably keep emissions on this truck. My question for yall, has anyone upgraded to the 2015 HPFP just for the peace of mind? $1200 upfront is much cheaper than $7,000 down the road. I did not buy my truck new and there are 50k miles that I cannot answer for, but I personally change the fuel filters every 15k and drain the water serperator every month.

Sorry for the essay.

Also, I say $1200, but I have no idea. I know that the 11-14s are $1200. Haven't seen the retail price for the 15s yet.

they're relatively same price, i typically sell them for $1025 plus shipping.

Mike, thanks. I am putting together another shopping list for you as I type.

Does anybody have or can link a video of how to change out the HPFP? I think its something that I can do, but I want to see first.

i think the point is to be more careful what goes in the tank +religious maintenance versus poor reliability of the stock 11-14 pump.

a fifteen pump is a great upgrade though

Well, if its anything like the videos that I found for the 6.4, its going to a shop for work.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if I change out my HPFP, a turbo swap is essentially done at the same time too? Or, could be done at the same time.

Yes that would be ideal.

What is the difference between the 11-14 to 15 hpfp? Its the same pump isn't it but bore out more for more fuel?

9% bigger.

Nothing at all like a 6.4, in my opinion it's gotta be way easier. 6.4 hpfp is in the location as the 6.0 hpop... Yuck! The 6.7 hpfp is driven off the front gear train.

IMHO the only reason to upgrade is if you have more air and still want more power.

 

[Ice Cream Sammich]

This wouldn't be for any performance value at all. Just preventive maintenance.

I am really trying to hold off on everything and pick up a 2017 250, but my friend's $7,000 repair bill has me scared.

 

[Cheap6.7]

15 pump will not be more reliable.

15 pump will not be more reliable.

I was thinking the same thing. I haven't heard anything about them being more reliable yet.

 

[jcain]

Being as it's just a stroked cp4.2, not sure it's any more reliable other than you won't be pushing it as hard to do the same work.

 

[Ice Cream Sammich]

Well, I may have worded myself wrong then. My concern is about my current pump, not a new one. I have 50k miles on my truck that I cannot answer for the maintenance of. I would like to assume that they changed the fuel filters as necessary, but I have no idea.

The more and more that I look at this, I am starting to realize that I am worrying for no reason and/or its not worth the peace of mind.

When the HPFP is starting to fail, is there any indication of it going out? Or is it just instant failure?

This is what you want, not a 2015 hpfp.

 

[Ice Cream Sammich]

I change my fuel filters every 10k miles and drain the water separator every month. I am not overly concerned about my maintenance. I am concerned about damage already done in the 50k miles before I bought the truck.

I am not sure if its one of those things that rust can build and hangout for a few years before going, or its a slight bit of rust and everything goes to **** immediately.

I never see any water in my fuel when I drain the filter, btw.
