New to the V10.. Low fuel pressure
HI everyone. We recently purchased a 2001 motorhome that's based on the F53 with a V10. I noticed that it seems to be hard to start and while it has a strong cranking action, it takes a bit to get it ...

You might be better off with getting an OEM replacement and hopefully you can return the one you have now. Try Amazon first, then maybe Mills supply, along with many others for a discount over your local Dealer.
Thats where my frustration is from. This IS a factory Ford Motorcraft complete pump assembly in the factory box and it won't work. Cost $600 over the others that were 1/2 the price but I figured it was worth the added expense. How much you wanna bet the aftermarket one would have been just fine and I'd be done.... :-(
OK, my bad and I keep forgetting that we're talking Ford here and Motorcraft is a product of Ford.
So, does the old unit have any kind of part number on it?
Here's another idea, without actually seeing the thing and I once changed the fuel pump in a Mazda, but not the whole assembly. Just the pump itself (aftermarket in this case) and I think the way to go, as long as the pickup tubes....etc...are in good condition. Also, as food for thought, while you're inspection things, I found that the real problem was that the electrical connector inside the tank for the unit was burned pretty bad and being that it was only available with the whole unit, I made up my own connector and one that wouldn't ever fail. Had the car for years after, my cousin owned it for awhile and it was still going good, when he sold it.
