Would this oil pump work for a 2017 Ford raptor?

[@thecoloradocultivator9166]

As a tech this really helped me impress my boss by showing him you in fact DO NOT need to remove the oil pan in order to replace the oil pump. Yes boss man I realize you have 25+ years of experience that doesn't mean you know everything. Very impressed with camera angles as well, having done this job 3x now I realize some of these camera angles took effort. Very impressed and a great video if the average person want's to attempt this repair.

[@TripodsGarage]

We just did the timing chain. Our truck has 100k miles, had the cold start rattle. The timing guides showed a good amount of wear. Since the whole front was off I decided to have the oil pump replaced. I called my local Ford auto parts department. They told me not to buy the ford one. I was a little shocked. They said to definitely go aftermarket, and with a HV. They mentioned the same pump as you. I am surprised that I didn't see this video as I sub to your channel. What a major improvement! I highly recommend, as our truck is usually used for long trips towing or have stuff in the bed.

[@MrCbar1312]

I did the timing chain job on my 2013 f150 with your4 part video last year and I don't think this video was out at the time. I did manage to get the new high volume oil pump in without dropping the oil pan but it was bad. I don't remember how I managed to do it but it was a FIGHT. I sure wish this video would've been out at the time. Keep up the good work your videos are by far the best ones on the internet for fixing the ecoboost. I would've never been able to do it without you. Thanks for all your hard work making these videos!!!!!

I appreciate your videos. YOU are Truly authentic. I have steered many to your site. With ALL that said, Ford Sucks! I have, for many years(until 2004) been a GM fan, until they went Junk. I have a 2015 F150 (coyote) of which I scoped the cylinder’s to find Massive carbon! Since then, I installed a separator to find a Lot being collected. (I Highly Recommend a separator!). Upon inspection of said cylinders, I discovered the pistons were different in casting’s. I talked to my nephew, highly intelligent mechanic (Airforce levitow), in which he told me that it is normal junk. They, all big three, balance their engines with “added” weight to the throw’s of reciprocating! What the 🤬🤬!! Since that realization, Recommend Japanese…..we, Domestic, have went so far on the quality to putting bandaids and short cuts upon our products! It’s disgraceful! -two cents

[@Paul1958R]

Brian, Excellent video, repair, and tips - thank you! Two comments: 1. I think if Ford had made the pilot on the pickup tube 1/16" shorter the job would be much easier without affecting fit to the pump. 2. Im surprised there is no type of seal (gasket, o-ring, etc) between the oil pump outlet and the block surface (just flat metal-to-metal). Paul (in MA)

[@huntingspud3086]

Another awesome repair with valuable how-to info. Really love your videos!

[@JohnDoesGarage]

I'm always on the lookout for short cuts like this that save loads of time. For example, I figured out how to change out the blend door motor on Grand Marquis and Crown Victorias without having to remove the entire dashboard like the factory manual says to do it. I really should make a video on that. You did a fantastic job on this little gem of a tip. I might try shaving a little bit off the pipe that fits up in the pump just to make it a little easier going back together. Thank you again for another video full of priceless information.

[@jimmydiamond75]

I hope you offered the guy some upgraded turbos like Garrett Powermax or even the GT’s from Ford!!!! Just did this a few months ago after seeing your announcement about the production of the Melling HV pump. My shop software “ProDemand” told me the same; drop the pan, the axle, and I simply refused to do so lol. I wound up with the same method, and I’m not a KZbinr but I was so pissed I didn’t chronicle the procedure for others to see. NO SHOP or even DEALERSHIP I’ve spoken to wants to tackle this, and you’re 150% correct; if you’re gonna spend all the money to crack the thing open like this, you better replace everything you possibly can if you want to see 300,000 plus miles. Thanks again, I appreciate what you do.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

We do not install anything aftermarket except the oil pumps from Melling.

[@Wreckerboy]

1. I was surprised to see you use and recommend a non-FoMoCo part, even though Melling is an excellent manufacturer (and probably makes the pumps for Ford). 2. The paper towel trick is brilliant! How did I not know this in 40+ years of home wrenching? Thanks!

[@M4sterT3ch]

Thanks for the video, will definitely be using this technique to save time in the future. And of course, the customer will still pay full time.

Thanks so much for showing this tip. I have been looking at the 3.5 eco boost F150. Heard lot good and bad about the engine. Great torque for towing just need catch can and make oil change and spark change regularly. Saving this video.

[@joshdunlap7766]

I followed your videos when I did the timing job on my 04 5.4 3v. When I went to change the oil pump I dropped a wrench in the oil pan and had to drop the front axle and pan to get it back out. I was so frustrated but it did allow me to go ahead and change the pan gasket so I guess it wasn't all bad.

[@michaelbefumo-qg7ji]

That sucks, I'm sure you tried grabbing it with a magnet, before dropping the pan and the axle

I was thinking about the oil pump being replaced, because they are always talking about the cam phasers starving for oil on start up, so I looked it up, and your video showed up. I did verify the valves to be okay on the driver's side of the engine after the secondary chain broke. So we are moving forward with the project.

[@davea2288]

If that lead-in on the pick-up tube was just 1/4" shorter in length, the clearance between the tube and the pump housing would be there and the remove/install process would be so much easier without the potential of distorting the tube and making metal chips when it scratches across the housing surface. Ford should be watching and learning and implementing this.

[@timkis64]

[@OKHotrodder-cg5gu]

I didn't see any of your videos showing the newer, like '18, 3.5 eco. I bought all my timing parts from the dealer but the guy told me they never sell oil pumps for them. I know they changed to electronic solenoid pumps, which drove the cost up. My thought is to put a new pump on while I'm doing the timing set. But I haven't seen anyone change them and have been told it adds a ton of time to do it. I am literally about the remove the timing cover as I've been slowly taking things off every day. I did notice the fuel pump is on the passenger valve cover now instead of the drivers side. In this video, the oil pump appears easier to get off than the 5.4 3v, mainly because the pickup on the 3v is under the lip of the pan. But I can do a timing set on a 3v pretty quickly as I've done so many. So far, this 3.5 has way more stuff to take off. It could be because it's my first timing job on the 3.5. I noticed when I held the gas pedal down upon turning the engine over to allow a no start while I watch the oil pressure gauge, it seems to take a while for oil pressure to come up both during cold and warm startup. The engine I'm doing has 170k on it, and as far as I know, it's never had a timing job. So my thought is to put a new oil pump on as it's taking so long to do the timing set, instead of going back in 6 months later for chain rattle again. Does a new oil pump have to be programmed? Or can one just be replaced? I'm assuming a new pump isn't hurting anything but I'm wondering just how robust the pumps are. I called Melling and they said they do not have a replacement pump for the newer 3.5 yet. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks for all your vidoes. I find them to be very informative in comparison to what's out there.

[@wisconsineaglesfan7925]

Great video as always! I have a ‘14 F150. Currently I have 133k with the factory extended 150k warranty. I do all the regular maintenance at the same dealer I purchased the vehicle new at. 2 questions if you have an opportunity to answer them: What does a time job and oil pump replacement cost, ballpark I don’t need your exact numbers. 2. Is there anything I should be looking for to get the best out of my warranty? The only major things that I’ve had done, warranty wise, was the driver side turbo was polled to replace a leaking coolant line. I do have an occasional driveline thump when moving from a stop on an elevated surface. Other than that the vehicle has performed flawlessly. Really appreciate these videos.

[@hottshott30]

Definitely would like to know also

[@nedflora1154]

I have a 14 and am curious also

[@FordTechMakuloco]

A timing job with all the extras that I replace is well over $3k. If you are under an extended warranty you need to keep an eye on the common failure points for the expensive repairs like the coolant lines at the turbos, water pump failures are common and of course most important of all you should be listening to your engine on cold starts to catch the all-too-common startup rattle which would be a great item to get repaired under warranty. Nothing else is a major concern with these engines.

[@nedflora1154]

[@cdnskiiertracker1058]

A piece of wood dowel with a liitle Mcguyverin to hold the pick up tube out the way would free up a hand and make things easier. Then holesaw a 4x4 post big enough to accomadate the main crank rod. The hole wood have to be at least 6" deep. Im guessing the depth here but some of you get where Im going with this. Then cut off the post long enough to go over the crank. Maybe 6 to 8". The holesawed 4x4 piece is basically a custom " drift". Wiggle the pump in place. Place the drift over the crank and gently tap the pump on with a mallet.

[@andrewthompsonuk1]

Excellent guidence. I guess you have to be sure that the pickup is clean? Maybe an inspection camera down the pickup would be worth while to look at the mesh?

[@dpkeys]

I'm doing WP, chains, guides & tensionsers (minus phasers) on my dad's '09 Flex AWD (non-turbo & skinny chain). Turned out WP pulley actually punched a hole in the timing cover, cover was actually keeping the pulley in place or it would have tossed the chain. He pulled over & shut it off right away & towed it to my shop; it still ran, so we double-oil changed it to flush out the milkshake then considered options. We would only run it like 30s at a time (no coolant) but it seems to run fine so we're fixing it. I'm getting the M390HV pump and a new pickup tube. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I can fish the tube out & in without dropping the pan as the engine is supported with a jack - the motor mount is off. When the oil pump & tube is out I'm hoping I can flush all the coolant & crap out of the pan & the passages to the oil filter. I'm looking for suggestions on how to prime the oil pump and engine. Best I've seen so far is using a suction gun to backfill the oil pump through the off-center hole in the oil filter adapter. Pre-fill the oil filter, then use clear-flood mode to prime the engine the rest of the way before firing the engine. My other question is the timing cover. I heard it's difficult but holy hell I could not get it out without removing the LH VTC housing to gain clearance. I have no idea how I am going to get the new cover in there at all let alone without smearing the sealant. I have the coolant & power steering reservoirs and a/c tubes out of the way, I think I have to drop the washer bucket out to gain more clearance. Hope I don't have to strip off the bumper cover.

I know Brian cautions against it, but my inclination in installing this pump, once I'm certain that pump flats are aligned to the crank, would be to take six inches of a large PVC or ABS pipe, center on the pump and over/around the crankshaft, and tap the pipe gently with a rubber mallet. Certainly forcing this fit could cause damage, but I doubt a gentle tapping would do that. It'd just provide enough vibration and force to ease the pump over the shaft, which is essentially what Brian is doing by working the pump back and forth over the crankshaft.. Just a thought (maybe not a good one, but then patience ain't my strongest virtue 🙄).

[@FordTechMakuloco]

gentle tapping with a rubber mallet is fine, you will know if it is moving or not without damage.

Will this pump and procedure work with 2017 and newer 2019 Ford Flex AWD 3.5 Ecoboost ? Great job of instructions!👍

I learn a lot from your videos. Thank you. I do have a question. I have an 06 f150 that I don’t want to get rid of an just do an engine swap. Would the 3.5 eco fit in that truck?
