Fuel Pump
found this on ebay and it looks exactly like what i have in my hand. It obviously beats dealer and napa prices. I just didn't relieze that it fits all those years and engines. Unless someone says otherwise, i think i'm going to go for this one.
edit: question, what the is that little ring?

Not an expert on this one, but I have to say, if it looks close to yours... I can't see Ford using different fuel pumps in any of these trucks. All it does is, well, pump fuel. Only the Lightning's had a different pump, I believe.

yes, i understand, but for some reason the guy at napa was askng me for engine size and drivetrain so i assumed that every engine had a different pump. The lightnings i believe have a dual pump or something.

Just like at Advancec or AZ they ask for all of the vehicle information to put into their computer. They don't want to rely on their employees knowledge to help customers. I know I barely rely on them to get the right part out, which is why I watch them put it into the computer, watch what they select, and check part nunmbers after they get it off the shelf. I always bring the old xxxxx in with me compare, if I already have it off. Bottom line is, it's your money. Spend it on E-bay to save a little on a part your unsure of, or spend a littlr more at a parts house that you can yell at when they screw up.

Got the product today and installed it in 2 minutes. Fired right up and works perfectly. Since the breakdown I've installed a new fuel filter and pump and my Mac intake, so I'm excited to take it for a spin tomorrow! Thanks for all that helped me through this.

Looks like I found this thread a tad too late.
I work for Ford and as luck has it I just happen to assemble those pesky little fuel pumps every day. These are assembled in a clean-room enviroment on automated BODINE machines. 10 to be exact. A pump every 4.5 seconds. Its then put through an 8 point "wet test" for pressure, flow, reverse leak, at a varity of different voltages.
NO.....one size does NOT fit all. Even though all 29 different pumps we produce look fairly close to one another on the outside, the difference is internal.
5 different armatures (wire size and # of turns)
3 different brushes (carbon hardness)
5 different impellers (# and style of vanes)
5 different pump chambers (flow and psi chanel depths and widths)
3 different RFI's (radio frequency interupters)
6 different fuel line fittings (3 of which have check valves built in)
All assembled in a varity of different ways to achieve the correct lph/psi needed for each indvidule powertrain application.
THEN there is the flex fuel or E-85 hand built pump (but thats a whole nother ball of wax)
By the way that IS NOT an OEM pump. We do not lasermark the body of the pump with a barcode. Also Fords model #'s are 10 characters long not 12 and certainly not with all those Xs'.
Sorry.......but that looks like a Bosch spinoff to me.
The ring thinggy is to fasten the filter sock to the outer pump chamber "tit".
