Lost power, oil started leaking out? Or fuel?

I tried putting it on ACC a few times already and nothing is coming out.
The lift pump doesn't run in the ACC position, only in RUN and START.

Good catch, I did mistype that. But still would have to cycle through 'run' with the stupid push button to get back to 'off' so should have gotten some drips if there was a leak

I'm subscribing for updates. This is the first I've heard of something like this happening on the gen 3 EcoDiesel. It sounds like a fuel related issue, but I'm not sure what exactly happened. You don't want to run the CP4 pump without fuel, so don't attempt to start it.

I will update once I find out some more information. Getting my hands on a scanner today I’ll update with codes. I only attempted to start it after it died on me. After that I haven’t cranked it.

I got some codes. P0087 Fuel/Rail System Pressure Too Low. Seems to be dripping out of cylinder 5 injector.

Looks like warranty time. 👍

Well that's new. The actual feed line is leaking? Or the injector body? I imagine if it was the return it'd run just... messier

With rolling computers it's hard to say how they'll react to unique circumstances. Could be the software says "low pressure? F#(% you, you get to walk home!" Years ago I met a Chevy engineer who only drove Fords because of some programming like that.

Coming out of under the injector. May be the washer or O-ring.

If you cycle the start button with foot OFF brake pedal can you hear the lift pump build pressure?

Just curious about lift pump. Low rail pressure due to leak is 99.9% the culprit.

Got a question of warranty???

Have (2) 2021- Rubicon Gladiator 30k & Rubicon JLU Wrangler 75k.

I thought we had a Factory 100k warranty on diesel power train?

Is a failure of an injector (or gasket) diesel power train?
