Boy, if I had any luck it sure isn't good. First a transfer case now both in-tank fuel pumps are bad 15psi doesn't get it.
When I get done I will have a new 95 Ford F150 4x4.
The up side is this time it didn't leave me stranded on the side of the road. It broke a few miles from the shop that does our work in 115 degree heat. The shop owner sent a car to pick us up ASAP & take us home. Then had the truck towed.
Then the next day our Honda A/C quit. What really pissed me off is I just had that fixed in November with a new compressor, drier/filter, & had it converted to R134. (Not done by the shop that does my work now.) The compressor failed.
Anyway, hope to have the F150 back on Friday.
So if your having issues & pissed off, it could be worse. I can't do this work anymore, I'm old & my body doesn't work very good, so I have to pay to have this work done, & it sucks sometimes.

Seems kinda odd that both pumps would quit at the same time. Sure it's not an obstruction in the line?

Let's see here, last month:
1. Wife got rear ended, totaled the car. Insurance naturally doesn't pay enough to actually replace it.
2. AC at the house went out, $300+ repair

I had a whole list but those are the only 2 I can think of right now. Maybe it's just bad luck season for people who drive Ford trucks?

 

I understand & can feel for you. It seems like when crap goes bad it FLOODS.
The pumps went out less than 200 miles apart. I was warned by a shop in Nevada that because the fuel filter had never been changed & was pretty plugged up that I was on borrowed time with them. Plus they were run empty twice I know.
The mechanic doing the work is an old guy that use to work for Ford in the 90s. So he is pretty on top of these trucks. I had a leak from the top cover on the trans. When he finished fixing it the whole shifter was tightened up & smoother. So I have to believe he is right. When the front pump went out & the truck died I was just getting off the freeway in Las Vegas. I tried to start it with no luck just cranked. As soon as I switched tanks it fired right up. When the back tank went out I stopped to check on a few things & when I went to take off it started missing then smoothed out. When I stopped at the wife's job I shut it off & it wouldn't start just crank. So in my mind it is the pumps. FPR seldom fail compared to pumps. I have owned around 20 fuel injected vehicles & only had one FPR fail & it was leaking.

You know I've always heard said that you should never run an in tank fuel pump dry. It's probably not good on any, but especially the in tank pumps. That being said, my dad always ran the truck until it started to stumble before he switched tanks and I've always done the same. That's been about 13 years and 100k miles. Truck has a total of 198k on it now and the pumps are original.

Of course now that I've bragged on them I'm sure I'll go out and find them both dead tonight.

 

As crazy as it sounds, The gas cools the pumps. So running them low or empty can cause over heating & failure.
Remember I live in the Mojave Desert where summer high temps reach 120 degrees. From June - Sept the low temps are in the high 80-100. So overheating of everything is a constant issues.
I bought this truck in northern Nevada were temps only reach 100 a few times in summer with winter temps from 0-55. I never had an issue until I got this truck home a few weeks ago.
