We all certainly appreciate you taking the time to share your vast knowledge and experience with the forum, that's for sure. I guess I just have to be patient and hope pump #2 goes 20K+ miles and that will be sufficient time for Ford.
Me too. Seattle area.
I hate that bridge with a passion. The lanes were so narrow, and the winds going through the Narrows were awful. That bridge has ruined all bridges for me, I white knuckle across all of them now. I'd almost rather go out of my way through Olympia than cross the Narrows. It's generally made me feel very claustrophobic on bridges. I want to get home and do a bit of camping in my old stomping grounds, and I can almost guarantee a trip across the Narrows is not in the cards.Confirmed LPFP failure. Being covered by the PT warranty. Interesting the recall affects a single day of production of Super Duty trucks at the Ohio plant. Might that suggest it's an issue with a certain supplier? I wonder if Ohio had maybe transferred pumps from another plant to cover a pump shortage. It's a lot of affected vehicles, I got to think they resolved the issue in pretty short order once they knew of the problem rather than take a fix it later approach. When it died, temps were mid-80's and I had about 3/4 tank on the gage. I wouldn't call that "hot" or "low fuel level".
I'd love to have some shred of confidence this new pump won't suffer an untimely demize, even though the first one did make it to 22,630 miles. If it had died 30 minutes earlier, we would have been on trails that would have made recovery "challenging" at best. 30 minutes later, we could have been on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, old Galloping Gertie's replacement(s). Good Lord that would have been a complete snafu if we died on the up grade of the East bound approach. We very well could have made the 11:00 news. If we survived the incident, the Found On Road Dead jokes from my "friends" would have been insufferable.
"Ultimately, this investigation found that several other Blue Oval models could lose fuel pressure and flow from the fuel delivery module - which consists of the low-pressure fuel pump, jet pump, reservoir, and various other parts, all due to a low-pressure fuel pump failure. It determined that the root cause of this issue pertains to reduced internal clearance in the fuel pump, increasing friction and sensitivity to vapor lock, along with contamination inside the jet pump that can result in fuel blockage as well."
Don’t think it is. That’s just something in the factory calibration. Because after having mine tuned it no longer does that.
The pump part numbers have been changed a few times (I think 3 total) but there’s no way to know if they all have the same issue, or the newest one is fine, etc.
Mine still does it- AFTER the tune. I can’t quite tell if it’s some weird transmission issue or lack of fuel delivery.
What tune do you have?
It’s the ford performance tune. Running it for about 38k miles now.
