fuel pump removal
I have looked at the photos and descriptions of how to remove the hp pump ... they are great. One question I have that appears very important. It has to do with all the post that express the importance of not dropping the tappet pin. One thread says "lift the pump straight out until the tappet pin clears the hole. Which hole, on the pump or the top of the engine. Do you remove the pin with the pump or leave the pin in the engine. If it is to come out of the top of the enging, any tricks to properly replacing it.
Thanks all

Welcome to FTE. What year truck are you dealing with? I have a feeling you might have posted in the wrong section since our pumps are electric and mounted on the side of the frame rail. If you're referring to an injection pump, we'll have a moderator move this thread to the appropriate section for you.

The fuel pump (FP) is driven off the cam shaft. It is located in the lifter valley of the engine. After you have removed the bolts from the fuel pump, rotate the engine by hand until the pump lifts of its mounting surface....then you can safely remove the pump w/o fear of the lifter falling into the engine.
Here's more info:

Good luck & keep us informed. Post you questions here and more help will follow.

Thanks for the help ... Ford Dealer wanted $800 for the job. I knew that was overkill .... This has saved me major bucks.
Any other items I should replace while in there??

I have looked a a few mods, I doubt I will make any. Only mods to my truck are " air intake and 4" ss exhaust. Only thing I have ever pulled is my 22' mako boat. Never had a 5th wheel in or pulled anything really heavy.
Great truck, 97 white XLT 4 door 4x4 short bed 120k miles, excellent cond inside and out.
Would possibly sell, don't really need this much truck for what I do. What are they worth? Had someone offer me $16,000 last summer but was using it to pull by boat around and not really interested at that time.
