Click bait. This would be a very lonely thread without the 10 people talking about onionsWhy you gotta throw In and Out under the bus? lol
It’s a pretty big job on a Bronco, especially if you don’t have a lift. It would be possible, but not much fun.
It would be covered under powertrain warranty before emissions warranty. As long as you're under 5/60. But glad to hear they've got it figured out.
Did a quick search but found no aftermarket fuel pump offerings. Maybe Bronco is still too new to find a selection of parts at the usual stores like Autozone etc. $1600 is a lot for a new OEM pump, or maybe that includes the labor? I see Lakeland Ford offers a 2.7L pump for $468 as an example, which still seems mighty steep.
$1,600?? Yikes. IMO a $1,600 fuel pump should never fail but, if it does, the automotive equivalent of the Keebler elves should visit your vehicle in you sleep and automagically replace it. Damn, usedtocould pretty much get a motor for $1,600.
I paid ~$400 literally 20 years ago at a Napa auto parts in Santa Clara for a fuel pump for a 98 Chevy w/350. My uncle was like, buy out of state, but I was in a hurry since i had a date two days later...
This was when I almost crushed my head like a pumpkin dropping the gas tank.
I'm not really sure how the CA emission warranty works honestly since I've never lived there. But I did just doubled checked it and it does say it's covered under emissions warranty, and not powertrain.
No joke, I'm kicking around the idea of cutting an access hole in the floor and carrying a spare.
Let us know if you can just use the little compartment in the rear to cover up the hack-cess hole.
Of course I don't know either, but my guess is they've got funding/insurance set aside for that special warranty, and perhaps there are tax breaks if it's not tied up in the normal warranties.
