I know theres a thread on this, but Damn Im getting tired of putting fuel pumps in this truck.
2 now, and a year from now what?? another, then its off warranty.

Typical crank forever, after driving for awhile and sitting for hour hot outside...

Im in Yuma AZ for winter, and whether Im in cold in Canada or Heat in Yuma It would do it. Although it was in summer for failures.

Are we all having this issue and when will Ford fix it, last pump was the Upgraded pump.

 

Do you run your fuel tank below 1/4 tank between fill ups, the electric pumps need to be in fuel so they don't overheat and fail.

Pump check valve is failing every time. Pump still runs fine. Pump pressure went from 60psi running to 0 psi in 1 minute after engine shut off. Whoever is building this pump needs to reengineer the check valve.

I may cut the discharge line and install a swagelock check valve after its off warranty if this continues. as long as it will flow enough.

 

My 19 is starting to do it now. I wonder if a aftermarket pump will do the same thing.

 

Eagle classic, have you pursued adding a swagelock check valve? If so, did it work and what p/n did you use?

 

This isn't true. The pump motor will certainly run cooler when submerged in a full tank, but they are not designed with that as a requirement.

 

My '18 is due for its third pump. Same symptoms. At maybe 65,000 miles now.
My '11 same vehicle went 180,000+ miles with nary a problem with the pump.

Come on Ford, can't be that hard!

 

we ran a 2000 E-250 with 5.4 2 valve and it stayed around 1/2 to 1/4 or lower all the time and this was in 2018.. no issues with fuel pump at all..

 

I had Ford change out the pump at 44k miles. The same long crank symptoms started again now at 100K. I called the dealership - he said it would be close to $1,200 to have it replaced. The parts alone (pump and gasket) was $496. So I went online to O’Reilly’s and ordered the same Motorcraft pump and gasket for $351 out the door. It wasn’t a terrible job, once you get the plastic clips figured out… a second set of hands is a plus. I too will wait and see if this latest revision can make it more than 50K or I too will be installing an inline Swagelock check valve.

 

So what is the issue with the fuel pumps?? Of all the the cars and trucks i have owned from chev, ford, hyundai etc only ONE a chev G-20 van with 302 v8 I got from Duke Power with 125K miles just stopped one day.. not sure how we figured out what it was there had been NO issues with cranking, running, cranking hot or cold, guess we put ear on metal floor above the tank and could not hear the pump running when the key was turned on..

lucky was at like less than 1/4 tank and we dropped tank in a cul de sac,, had a friend pickup and bring new pump, installed it and off we went.. this is thinking about some 20 + vehicles over a 50 or so year period since my first car a 1963 VW i got in 1976 at age 16 in HS.. ( was a school bus driver in HS LOL.. )

you can tell when someone with NO fricken idea how a part goes in takes a picture of it..

I'm looking at replacement pumps for my 2018 F250 XLT. There is a PFS 1355 ($100), PFS 1381 ($300), and PFS 1382 ($350).
All of which appear to work as a replacement for the faulty pump. (PFS 12xx I think)

For folks running into this issue, what part # did you replace with?

I've seen posts where PFS 1381 fixes the issue (for a while at least), but has anyone used the cheaper PFS 1355 with good results or are they all POS?

 

I replaced two fuel pumps in my life. One was a 68 Torino GT, and the other was an 89 Taurus. I think the Taurus was just replacing the motor and check valve.
My 2011 F250 fuel pump is still doing its job at 180000 miles. Used to be you could get the kit that replaces the pump motor and check valve, and some used a reed valve that went bad all the time. If or when the one in my F250 goes bad, it will be the Ford pump, not an aftermarket.

 

Railroader, my '11 6.2 F350CCLB pump worked faithfully, not a single hiccup during the 180k+ miles I drove it. Unfortunately, I have not had the same luck on my '18 6.2L F350CCLB fuel pump. It was replaced under warranty at 20-30k miles when it started the classic problem of progressively delayed start after a several hour soak. The updated part number Ford pump worked great again, instant starts for another 20-30k miles when it too started the delayed start issue. Let my truck sit more than 7-8 hours, perfect start.... but sit for an hour, 2sec of cranking; sit for 4 hours, 4-7sec of cranking. Now, at 77k miles, it is getting close to 10-12 sec of cranking before it starts after a 5 hour wait after driving.... but wait for 7-8 hours, starts right up. I have tried the cycling the key several times to prime the pump to no avail. I am going to drop the fuel tank myself this spring (after the snow melts) and replace with the latest available OEM Fuel pump from my local dealer. But boy, this sure is a ridiculous problem...

 

I don't know what to say, but that manufacturing capabilities are being lowered. You might have some kind of demon in your truck, or Ford has a big batch of bad parts, and either is possible. I looked at that Rock Auto link, and several ford links, like oemfordparts.com, and they have a two year warranty, but I never trusted a part because of their warranty. Warranties are just marketing, to me, but to others they are gold.

The newer trucks having this problem means, I think, that Ford got a bunch of bad parts, or that the trucks have a demon(software or electrical), like some kind of grounding or electrical issue, or maybe just bad pumps, altogether. The stuff Ford sells is made in China or Mexico, or somewhere overseas, like all the major electrical components. It makes me feel a bit hypocritical, because I am one who says to put Ford branded parts in your vehicle, but I have to admit, that may just not be the case. I share your frustration.
Maybe it is time someone asks Ford what the heck is going on with their parts being repeatedly needing to be replaced so often. I'll ask my Ford mechanic friend. Sometimes he throws his hand up, too. All he does is with electrical and programming, but he is a very good mechanic, as well.

Fuel pumps should last a lifetime. They used to, but look at everything else that has become throwaway items. I feel your pain!
