So Oil Pump Recommendations
I have a 2002 450 with a V10, currently it had a bad oil pump and motor ate itself. I just bought a brand new takeout from a 2000 F250, my question is should I swap in my brand new oil pump I bought? Its a melling and literally bought to replace the one in my 2002 v10 hoping it would free up and run.
What do you think? Leave the OEM one in there that has 0 miles? or replace it before I install it in the van?

The only difference in the "performance" pumps vs the OE pumps is the material that the gearset is made of. OE gears are powdered metal, and most of the aftermarket gearsets are of some kind of a solid "billet". The problems come with the hardness of the gearset-most all of the aftermarket pumps(even stock replacements), do not come anywhere near close to the hardness of the OE gears, and of course, they wear...quickly in some cases. If they use the wrong material for the application, it can actually "smear" the rotor tips,and cause pump housing wear, which itself leads to pressure stability issues, low pressures,and internal leakage.
