It worked only marginally better than the pump I replaced, but the truck still fails to start on occasion and is hardly reliable. I also paid $650 to install a used fuel pump about a month ago. Though I have not personally inspected that piece myself, my mechanic tells me that that part is intact, with no cracking or erosion, so they don't think that is the problem.

My understanding is that that electronic part is subject to cracking and erosion that allows moisture to enter, fry the circuits, and make the pump malfunction. There is some speculation that this may be a result of 'cash for clunkers': the government has made it public policy that these large block SUVs are disfavored and their destruction will be subsidized, therefore the parts manufacturers will not make replacement parts for cars that are being forced off the market.ĭoes anyone know how to get ahold of this part quickly? I cannot believe that a car as ubiquitous as a Ford Expedition cannot keep a supply of common parts among its dealers and suppliers. Government vehicles supposedly have priority to receive the parts first. I hear that several local police departments have Expeditions that are inoperable because of broken fuel umps and no replacements parts. I understand that my situation is not unique. In the meantime, my family is dead in the water with an inoperable truck! We tried a used part, but after it worked well for about a day, it ultimately worked no better than the broken one we pulled out. No other dealers have the part, and can't get it to us for weeks. (the world's largest) which told me that they will not be restocked with this part until February. However, we cannot locate a replacement pump (Part No. About 3 weeks ago, we experienced problems starting the car, and our independent mechanic diagnosed it as a broken fuel pump. We purchased our 2005 Expedition 4 1/2 years ago and have enjoyed it.
