Fuel pump AIRTEX or WALBRO

If you can go with Airtex, they’re the original manufacture of the motorcraft part. Literally the same part for much less when I replaced mine.

Replaced it with an AirTex unit, and it chugged along just fine for 5 years till a rod started knocking...

Walbro 450 fuel pump and VR6 radiator are next to order.

Walbro 450lph E85 approved. It outflow 044 and is certified to run E85.

I have a Walbro intank pump, I replaced my oem when i though it was bad a few years ago.

The hard start issue appears to have fixed itself though. Starts just as well as it did with the dual pump setup now.

when it was getting low, yes you can tell because it would misfire up high(just like my fuel cell). However there is absolutely nothing different on the casing, which holds the fuel level sending unit.

NEVER GET AN AIRTEX PUMP unless you like doing this work, because you will be doing it again if you do.

I went with a store brand, I think airtex when I replaced mine 2 years ago. I have to replace it again before I start driving it again.

If you are buying Airtex pumps, I wouldn't be surprised if they're natural failures. 2 years ago, I installed the first replacement in a 5.7 Ram truck. It lasted 4 months. I replaced it, warrantied part, lasted -3 days-, replaced it again.
