At least with the fuel pump, Ford paid for the parts and labour on a "campaign" which means a secret recall that they don't tell you about until it breaks down
so we were only out the $$ for the rental and $100 for diagnostics testing. At least the Ford dealer (Keystone???) was willing to do that, we came in at about 5 on a Friday afternoon...

Whats it like on fuel?
I found out why mine is so damn good on fuel. It didnt come with the 150ish hp I thought it did, it came with 115!
While its not a powerhouse, its phenomenal on fuel, and doesnt go that bad when ya rev er up high haha.

The Zetec in mine is thirsty for a 2.0L. 450-500 km/tank in winter. In the summer on the highway, can go 600-650 on a tank. Yeah, it's got pretty decent power, especially when you wind out the revs. Mines a 5 speed, BTW.

So far this truck has impressed me with gas mileage for a 1/2ton pickup with a big motor
