Fuel Pump Problems!

Just out of curiosity, how sure are you that it needs a new fuel pump?
Not saying you are wrong, but you do know there is a device that communicates between the fuel pump and the PCM and it's called a "Fuel Pump Driver Module"?
It's located above the spare over on the left side on the rear side of a semi round crossmember, factory bolted it to the frame. It has an aluminum body and the accumulation of road salts, moisture, etc leads to corosion between the aluminum body of the FPDM and the steel frame rail. Some have found their coroded so badly as to have holes in the back side and in some cases broken in pieces.
I removed mine and found only minor corosion,
so I cleaned it and then clearcoated it rather well,
cleaned and then painted the frame there,
and reinstalled it using some home made longer 5 or 6 mm studs I made with long bolts and some spacers to space mine a good 1/4" off the frame.
Below are pics of "not good" FPDMs, it's not so rare. These are not mine.
Here's Fords answer, note the "standoff kit". That's what I duplicated with longer bolts, threaded a nylock lock nut on, sawed the head off, etc.

Lots of people forget about rep points. I try to "spread the rep love" whenever I see good posts because I've been blessed with rep points by others for the same reason.
Plus, it might be basic knowledge to a lot of you regulars here in the '04+ forum, but I'm on a learning curve so I'll be spreading reps like crazy as I learn!
