I'm trying to solve an argument, this was all stuff that occurred in the past so isn't too important but I'm curious about a couple things. I have a 2004 F-350, 6 liter, a year ago somebody was replacing the thermostat. They were smart enough to leave a work light under the hood when they started it and it broke the serpentine belt when it got caught in it. The belt was replaced but then the truck wouldn't start. After diagnosis it was determined that the HP oil pump was no good and had to be replaced. Because this is in the past the outcome isn't the foremost thing in my mind (although it still stings a little), ...the problem was diagnosed and it was said that the pump had simply worn out, the vehicle was under warranty and I had to pay the $100 deductible. The vehicle had 70,000 miles.
What I'm wondering, is that when the work light got caught in and broke the
serpentine belt, could the pump of been damaged at that time? I was told that the pump failed on it's own (wore out). But it seemed like a strange coincidence, .....the work light getting caught, and the pump breaking.
Also, in a rough ballpark figure, how much does Ford charge for a HP
injection pump (2004)? thanks
