Not being a smart A** but it didn't fix itself. Unfortunately many folks have put in new pumps and other parts that never worked properly. It is a common problem with the offshore products.. The problem is the Motorcraft pump is so expensive. It is natural to think because it is new, it is good. Not the case. I have installed several SPECTRA pumps with success each time. If you find you need one, get it locally so you can return it immediately if it is no good. There are four bolts and the lighting connections that hold the bed on. Three or four guys can easily take the bed off for easy access to both pumps. It is easier than dropping the tanks for the project. Always try to use Motorcraft parts if you can.
It is difficult to find someone that will work on these older trucks and finding one that knows what they are doing is harder. The reader and the Haynes and Chilton manual and mainly this forum have saved me countless dollars and endless work. There are a lot of guys on here that have forgotten more than I will ever know. That's why I'm here, to try and give back what little I can. Sandy
"he did tell me it had low fuel pressure" I would add this to my list of concerns since he let you take it knowing this. . Sandy

The pumps were put in before the motor swap.. The pumps worked fine, no sputtering was presented... I got the motor swapped because a friend of mine lost the timing on it. And the valves and pistons got damaged
