Fuel Pump

Hey guys I'm in need of a new fuel pump and Motorcraft pumps are expensive. Can anyone recommend a good brand to buy other then Motorcraft. I hear Dorman makes good stuff but I haven't seen a fuel pump from them.

Thanks for any help.

Do you by chance remember what brand it was?

No that's to much trouble and I could end up with the same problem.

I'm in he school of thought of the harder the part is to change later, the better quality should be for in that part.

If it's a MAF sensor, try a generic part. It's a few bux and simple to change.

If its the fuel pump, that SOB is hard to get to, so look to investing a few more bux to ensure quality.

I still have my stock one running in my 2003. I'm sold on Motorcraft when it goes out in a few more decades

I put in a pump I got from Rock Auto last weekend. US Motorworks USEP8707. 2011 Ranger 4.0. Now the fuel gauge doesn’t register correctly. Shows full when filled up but drops rapidly. Low fuel light comes on and there’s still 9+ gallons in the tank. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I also put a Delphi from Rock Auto in my 99 4.0. Easy install once you have the bed lifted. Instructions were simple and clear.

New fuel pump assembly has a bad sender, replace the unit

I bought one on eBay from a brand called Autobest. So far, It's been working well. It came fully complete, which meant I did not have to transfer any parts from the old fuel pump.
