On a 1998 Ford F-150 with a 5.4 v 8 & auto trans. Can anyone tell me where the oil pump is located & where I might find articles on replacing it? Thanks. Chief Mike.

 

i beleve that the oil pump is located behind the timing cover on the front of the crank a chiltons manual might help

 

EDIT: My image links wont work but here is a link to the 3 images I tried to post. Hope it helps.

The oil pump is located behind the timing chains/cover and the pickup is in the oil pan. It's a royal PITA of a job to do. I'm not sure of any documentation on the net.

It's a long process.. the oil pump is on the crankshaft behind all the timing stuffs.

 

I posted a few pictures of the area, but I guess I'm too new and my posts need to be approved.

Let's try pasting it to here...
