I don’t see why not.

Yes but you need to pull the emergency thing in front of the shifter.

edit: I’m not 100% sure why the AAA tow guy had to do this with the blown HPFP. when I stopped at the dealer to clear out my personal belongings from the truck I noticed he popped the cover.

Yes but my battery didn’t die. Are you able to shift if the power is on ACC?

Yes, but he likely didn't want to risk it.

The manual disconnect is typically used for vehicles that won't start or have other complications prohibiting starting to shift into neutral.

I was told by my service advisor that Bosch says the pumps are within spec and the issue is not theirs. This is the same stance they have taken with other auto manufacturers like VW, Ford, etc... This is supposedly why it is taking so long, everyone is jockeying for position. If Bosch falls here they will probably be on the hook for everyone else too.

For reading pleasure only-

dive into diesel fuel lubrication standards, variations by state and wear scar scores…..

Bosch is within spec…. It’s the trash ultra low sulfur fuel. EDT “helps”

“An update:An update:

The service advisor called this morning to inform me of the regional reps decision. They have decided to replace my fuel system with currently available parts.

This leads me to believe that the “recall fix” is still up in the air. Rumors have been floating about that August is when the parts will arrive to fix the recall. I can’t imagine that’s true if they are just going to replace my entire fuel system being so close to August.

I asked if they tested the engine oil for any metal particulate and was told they have not yet. I requested that be performed before they replace the fuel system.

I hope this goes smoothly and I’m back in the drivers seat of my truck soon. I have faith in the dealer that they are taking care of me and my interests.

Will update when more information is available.”

That’s news. I guess neither good or bad. Mine is still in the shop. The service manager makes an effort to call me every Friday even though the update is the same. Maybe end of August. Keep us posted.

If it was me, I'd be happy they were replacing it with currently available parts versus waiting until August, then September, then October... for the recall parts.

Wouldn't you think the spec would include the required fuel quality and, with the pump being sold in the US market, that the fuel quality spec would be what is available in the US? If the spec calls for higher quality fuel than that typically found in the US and if Jeep/Ram, Ford, etc. all used the pump anyway then, yes, it falls on the car manufacturers, not Bosch. But I find it awfully hard to believe they would all do that. It is much more likely Bosch said it would work with US diesel, and were wrong. In my opinion, anything with rollers is going to fail eventually and typically creates shrapnel/shavings when it does. Putting that shrapnel in the fuel path to the rest of the system is a poor design.

Typical German engineering. Over engineered. That's why you don't buy a German car that's out of warranty. When something fails, it's $$$$

Well said. Agreed 100%.

I am happy to get my truck back asap. I just want verification that the engine has not sustained any damage due to metal particulates in the oil.

 

[Badunit]

I've not heard of any issues with the metal particles from a pump failure making it into the oil, just the fuel system. I can't think of a way for it to get into the oil. The injectors should block all but the tiniest of tiny particles from even getting into the cylinders. But the failure contaminates the entire fuel system. Regardless, you'll feel better if they check it so hopefully they will.

I doubt anything of significance would get past the injector itself. Only way to tell is to have the cylinder walls bore scoped and checked for scoring.

Even then, if anything got past the piston rings and into the oil sump, that is where oil filter comes into play and will catch anything that would be large enough to cause damage in the main body of of the engine.

At a minimum, they should be doing a oil change after repair.

 

[Sandevino]

When replacing a failed fuel system, part of the process requires scoping the cylinders for scoring or damage. Ask for this report.

The oil should be changed as well. Ask fora sample or collect one yourself. Ask for the oil filter and cut it open looking for glitter.

Good luck and keep us posted.
