Fuel Pump dead at 4000 hrs on motor.

[the blur]

Car is on the hook, going over to the local repair shop. No fuel pressure. Pretty close to 4000 hours on the motor. The previous owner was a limo company, and idled the truck for 100's of hours at the airport.

Only 80,000 miles, but 4,000 hours... fuel pumps only last so long...

I knew there would be problems buying a truck with such high hours... but 1st time it left me stranded...

That's about normal hours, for 80k it's not a excessive amount at all, the pumps on these trucks are rated for more than 100k miles so yours may have died a smidge early, just the way the coin dropped.

4000 hrs is insanity.

4000 hrs is insanity.

ask around most of these trucks ALL have 4000 hours at 80k just normal driving and idling, it's pretty average, it's been discussed before.

4000 hours at 80k is an average of 50mph, not unusual at all

I did the math and compared hours to some of my friends trucks when I bought
mine.. That's how I figured mine was a lot of just hwy driving...
98k with less than 3000 hours.. Most I've seen are in the 4000's with
100k ish

I bought mine at 82k it had a little over 4000 hrs, swapped in a ppv cluster and made sure the hours were transferred over and now I am at 127k with 5214 hrs that is just normal driving and idling. and I am on the original fuel pump

Don't cheap out, get the OEM fuel pump. I bought two after market fuel pumps and they went out within a year.
I bit the bullet and went with the OEM pump for the 3rd time, 2yrs later and still going strong.

I swapped relays, no help. I have 2 codes.. P023F P069E

My other truck has 3500 hrs, 130,000 miles.. Not all highway, but alot of highway. No fuel pump problems.

Do they normally drop the tank? or hack up the floor boards ??
