Bad fuel pump?

Before I left on Spring Break last week, truck wouldn't start. It was a Saturday morning, so I had it towed to the only open shop in town. He said the fuel pump was going out. He got it started maximizing the fuel pressure with his scan tool.

The unusual thing is I replaced the fuel pump (I have a V-10) earlier this year with a Motorcraft Pump from Amazon. I also replaced the fuel filter about 60,000 miles ago.

Does this sound right? I have never heard of turning up the pump with a scan tool.

It did fine over Spring Break, but is in my driveway right now refusing to start. I can't believe the fuel pump went out that quickly.

Does it sound like the fuel pump?

Might have been something else both times. I would replace the filter again before proceeding, there might be something nasty in that tank.
