best replacement fuel pump/module
Ok, bit of background.... truck is a 1995 F250 with 19 gal front and 18 gal rear tanks. Rear tank is about 2 years old (filler neck was damaged, so replaced with new Dorman tank). 460 engine...
Since I bought the truck, have been having fuel pump issues. Lack of volume/pressure causing the truck to be pretty much undrivable. Have replaced pressure regulator, injectors, and MULTIPLE pumps in both tanks. Will run good for about a week on a new pump, and then the problem with pressure/flow returns..... Have tried multiple brands, and since Motorcraft isnt available, that is off the table.
Is there a GOOD long lasting brand of pump.module out there that I am not going to be wasting my time/money by installing? At this point, Im about to spring for the $425 Holley Sniper pump, but that is front tank only, and would require me to replumb the lines, and lose the brand new back tank. Obviously if I go similar, I can run an out of tank pump, and do whatever I want, as long as I modify the pickups to reach the bottom of the tanks as well..... I dont mind losing the dual tanks, but would prefer to keep the rear tank for obvious reasons.....
Im really getting sick and tired of dropping tanks and replacing pumps on this damn truck......

care to share where? Every source I look at for Motorcraft, including the local dealer says discontinued and no longer available. Every other part source is just the cheap chinesium pumps that arent worth a ****. Even the name brand Carter pumps are crap (pne of those cost me a $700 tow bill when it went bad on the road.....)

F6TZ 9A407-AB [front] and F6TZ 9A407-BB [rear] are available from my supplier, Delphi, lifetime warranty [means nothing if they are junk, but Delphi is a pretty good brand].
Might be a good idea to really inspect the tank for debris if you have not actually taken the entire tank out of the truck.

Delphi ones seem to work okay for me.
Worst case, order a pumo from TI Automotive via Summit. They also make Walbro.

is that TI a direct fit, or does it require you to change it out inside the module... Not opposed to either, but "direct fit", more or less would be ideal. I have aftermarket craptastic modules in both tanks, the OEM Ford ones were long gone when I got the truck, so the "other components arent the best either, along with the pump.
The Holley one I mentioned in the original post is a drop in module, but does not support the multi-tanks.... no cutoff on the return line to switch between them.... Not the end of the world, but am trying to check all options here....

Guess your right. Didn't see any retail sources after a quick look. Good luck. I have aftermarket units in my current truck. Trouble free for many years now. I would recommend you check for problems beyond poor manufacturing if you are having repeat module failures.

If Motorcraft / oem isn’t available, I’d try spectra. Delphi would be another good choice. Last spectra I used was noisy, but did not fail. You can buy a complete rear tank and FDM assembly as one. Tanks are cheap, if you have any corrosion in them, change them out.
I’ve not had much luck with after market pumps in the past either. Another member on here has been running a spectra for several yrs now.
