Fuel pump replacement

My factory lift pump is getting tired (268,000 mi.). What do you fellow ford owners recommend for replacement? Factory pump or after market? Thanks in advance.

I moved my fuel pump to the end of the pickup in the fuel tank.
Made a HUUUGE difference.

Dan's got a nice setup but if you just wanted to slap something in there go with the stock OEM, you did quite some good miles out of your stocker. Bosch makes a nice pump I hear.

Airtex E2236 for about $150 at Advance, Autozone, or Oreillys.

Got to love OEM! I have gone over to the other side but in general OEM is best, Especially when you can get parts at a discount. Thanks Ed/Clay...........

Bosch is the OEM manufacturer on the fuel pumps.
