I guess my long, drawn out point is somewhere along the way somebody has a soul and cares. I told him I might find a different gm dealer too as I cant do business at a place that has service managers that charge people for expensive repairs and then warranty them. I told him I spent 5-6k a year on parts there and bought ten vehicles, wife 4 or 5 and her grandparents used to buy two every year until her grandpa passed from cancer. The regulator 1 in this code’s definition refers to the designated 1 fuel pressure regulator.
On some vehicles, this code is defined as Fuel Pressure Regulator 1 Performance. I told him I wouldnt spend a penny there ever again. Code P0089 may get logged when the powertrain control module (PCM) has determined that the desired and the actual fuel pressures do not correlate. Come to find out they bought the ford garage that screwed me. Last summer I was tossing the idea around about trading the 12dmax in and the owner of the gm dealer said "if you want a new powerstroke we sell those too". He kinda smirked and shrugged like he wanted to tell me to get bent.
I told that service manager that he was a crooked POS and I hope he gets his someday. I explained that the recall was for the converter that is what failed and took the trans out. I left it at call me when the parts come in. By July I was so damn pissed that I stopped trying. So I said they need to get the ball rolling. Plus we still had an extensive extended warranty that covered the engine, trans, and electronic gadgetry. I told them at that point that they are going to be responsible if it poops the trans out. We got a warranty recall notice in March of 12. The ford garage here has humped me in the anus on a few expensive repairs (for me anyway) that should have been warranty.
