Fuel pump replacement
Just wondering how many have replaced there fuel pump and at what mileage?
the 2000 is at 325’xxx and the 2002 is around 120’xxx miles, just wondering if I should carry one around on longer trips in the 2000.......
thanks in advance

They are readily available around the country and I do not carry one during our cross country travels. My truck has 255,000 miles with a well running fuel pump based on an analog fuel pressure gauge.

I replaced mine at about 356K because 1) I did not know if it was original, 2) I do not have a fuel pressure gauge yet, 3) if it goes bad it will leave you on the side of the road, 4) they never die in the driveway when you have nowhere to go and nothing to do. 5) it’s always easier to do it in the driveway than on the side of the road.
The pump was around $100-ish and you will also need the tools to remove the fittings from the pump.

I replaced my '02 F250's OEM stock pump at roughly 260,000 miles, and am sitting at about 309,000 miles right now. My son had to replace his '02 F250's OEM stock pump at somewhere around 275,000 miles. I never did have to replace the stock pump on my wife's 2003 Excursion, and we sold it with about 210,000 miles on it.
I used to carry a spare pump until I had to replace it in a parking lot some 30 miles from the house. So, now that I have a relatively "young" pump, I no longer carry a spare pump (even though I DO have a spare pump in the garage at the house). However, even though the OEM factory installed pumps have done so well for my family, a newer pump may or may not give me the same kind of life, so I DO carry the necessary tools to change out the pump in case I DO have to replace it on the side of the road or in a parking lot away from the house.

It's been several years since I swapped out a fuel pump, so I cannot say exactly what wrench sizes are required, but I know they are in my bag in the bed of the truck.
Summarily, my tool bag includes small quantity of fuel line wrenches, 1-2 adjustable wrenches, pliers, Channellocks, fuel line quick-disconnects, 2lb sledge hammer, small ball peen hammer, flat and phillips screw drivers, oil filter wrench, ratchet with a small variety of sockets (multiple 10mm sockets), a few larger wrenches, a ratcheting screwdriver with a whole collection of specialty driver tips, and a serpentine belt tensioner extension bar.
