Fuel Pump
Well, after 220,000 miles we had to replace the fuel pump today. Since they were chaning that I had them put new intake screens on it and a new fuel filter. All that with an oil change with Royal Purple was only $450.00. Not too bad. Maybe I can get a few more mile out of her now, it seems like it dropped pretty drastically recently. Who knows, we will see when we head up to Chicago and Boston on Friday.

I seemd to have lost some MPG's but that could be just my mind and my wifes driving!! Knock on wood that is the only thing that has really gone out or bad orther than an alt. or two.
We are happy.

Mine only lasted 80K before leaving me stranded!
As opposed to my two Subarus that each have close to 300K miles and the original fuel pumps! I even checked around with Subaru clubs as to how often to replace the fuel pump as maintainence. They said, "never, or at one million miles, whichever comes first."

Subaru's are an unfair car to compare to. Fortunately there really is no comparison, as they don't make trucks. Great cars, no trucks. And subaru's headgasket problems are with their 2.5litre engines. The 2.2's don't have that problem. Replace them once with the updated gaskets, and you are set. My legacy had 200k when they failed, replaced and still going strong.

If Work = Mass * Gravity * Height, we can calculate the amount of work done by the fuel pump.
Using 1.5' from bottom of Subaru gas tank to top it's pancake engine & 2.5' to the top of a Ford V engine...
________ Miles___mpg_gallons_ wt/gal__lbs__Gravity_Height____ Work
Subaru__ 100,000 22 __4,545__6.22__28,255 9.8___ 1.5_____415,342
Excursion 100,000 12 __8,333__6.22__51,800 9.8___ 2.5___1,269,100
So... the Ford pump does 3x as much work over the same distance.
