Just broke down

Sucks to hear man.


I have a question to the masses.... If these things are notorious for hpfp's contaminating the entire fuel system when they go bad and then you have to replace the entire fuel system, then does someone actually sell an aftermarket system that filters the fuel after the hpfp and BEFORE it enters the heads?

Seems to me that would solve the "entire fuel system is contaminated" situation". Then you're only replacing the pump when it goes bad and a filter, not everything.

You'd think that with all of the folks running higher horsepower setups in the 6.4, there'd be something out there? Maybe there is and I haven't noticed. Please correct me if I'm wrong!

There was talk of someone trying to find a filter but I don't think anything ever came of it. It would have to be a filter that can withstand extremely high pressures and be pretty small considering where it would be at.

You would need a 2 very small high pressure(24,000psi+)filters able to capture 3 micron and bigger particles and still be able to mount them in the factory lines that come off the HPFP and into each head.

What I would invision is a remote mounted filter along the frame rail. Yes it would require two lines coming out of the pump and two lines coming back in to the motor compartment to the heads. That takes away your space restriction, but there is still the issue of the extreme high pressure filters.

Do you guys mean the hpfp that was just installed needs to be replaced? The way I understood it the old one went bad pumping metal into the whole fuel system. Or has them trying to start it since recirculated metal into the now replaced hpfp?

4 gallons of gasoline evenly distributed and ignition source....

If your warranty company covered the high pressure fuel pump, which is fuel system related, why wouldn't they cover injectors? Odds are yes, the "new" one they just put on also needs to be replaced, there is metal everywhere in your system.

 

[Armybyrd]

To be honest idk cause off the bat I'd say they would both be considered fuel system parts.

Sage advice...

Hey guys looking to start getting all the parts needed to fix the truck. What all will I need and are there any recommended vendors? Im just wanting to get it running and will be trading it in. I know Ill need new injectors and the fuel lines. Is this something I should be able to do without a lift? Im not new to working on cars.

 

[sootie]

It would be easier if you lift the cab but it is possible to do it without.

 

[neverkickn]

The way I see it the dealer owes you a hpfp since their incompetence compromised the new one that they installed.

 

[Lubbockguy1979]

Should have a warranty Its a new part.

Here are torque specs and specific procedures for installing the injectors and other components.

They need to be followed very diligently.

The fact the shop where you did have it didn't follow the correct procedures is part of the reason you're in this mess.

Would I just have to call the dealer about the hpfp? Truck is sitting in my driveway so Ill have to do it myself without pulling the cab.

 

[Lubbockguy1979]

I would. I would make as big of a deal as it took.

Saw your other thread but probably better if you keep the information all in one place so ppl can read the back story. Post the invoice from the dealer with your personal info blacked out so we can see what they actually did. Based on what you have said, you don't entirely understand what all has been done either. Regardless, you need a diagnostic tool!!

 

[Armybyrd]

Well from what I've read when the hpfp goes bad it pumps metal throughout the entire fuel system. What I don't understand is why the Ford dealer tried to start the truck after replacing just the hpfp.
Can't find the paperwork from the dealer but I do know they changed the hpfp and 2 injectors.
