fuel pump and sender module

Fill up every 250-300 miles and forget about the fuel gauge. Non OEM replacement pumps with senders can be bought for under $3oo.

Just had mine replaced last month. The fuel pump was over $600 and with labor, it came to over $1300. The gas tank has to be dropped because the pump in in the top of the tank.

Has anyone had to replace their fuel pump lately? My gauge quit working and needless to say, it's part of the pump module. It seems that this is a factory ordered part and VERY pricy($600). I'm just wondering what anyone else has had to pay for the part(no labor). See my signature for make and model.

Rock Auto has the pump you need for your 1997 F53 chassis. Use the PFS48, listed on the bottom of the page. $330.79. Ford did not build a 1998 model year F53 chassis. 1998 Ford based Class A motorhomes are built on 97 (460) or 99 (V10) model year F53 chassis.

I had mine replaced because failed it was under warranty about $1100 cost me $300 deductible

A lot of times you can rebuild those and it's not too hard. Often just some crud on the sending unit. Marvel Mystery Oil can really help stuff not build up.

Thanks for all the info and advice folks. Predawn, I wish I had talked to you before they started on mine. Guys I'm aware it's a '97 chassis(built in Mexico). This is one of those "live and learn things".
