Fuel Pump Replacement Ford 6.0 f250 2005

[@jrobinclayton]

GREAT Communications! I thought I'd bought the wrong unit until I watched your very thorough video here. I am a novice, "shade tree", mechanic. So seeing that the fuel heater has been deleted I confidently replaced the HFCM and got myself back on the road. THANK YOU.

[@BugmanVlogs]

You’re welcome!

@@BugmanVlogs I need a little help diagnosing my 6.0 issue. Was running fine and I stopped at Walmart and it won’t fire up. The fuel system prime before you start, I don’t hear it anymore. I just replaced both batteries. Check the video out please.

[@BugmanVlogs]

@@ThePlatinumChild I really think you lost the fuel pump. If you no longer hear it at all with key on before startup it has quit. This is typical of all fuel pumps when they quit, just die anywhere but it’s nice for the ones you can hear as when they no longer hum it’s a good give away as to the problem

Getting ready to replace mine

[@brianhille7695]

ok so my truck sort of bucks and bounces at speeds 55-70 it does it worst at speed 55mph. it has fuel pressure at a contant 70-80 so thats what confuses me. Anythoughs on what this is? it doesnt feel like a tire balance issue. maybe drive shaft balance??

[@BugmanVlogs]

I have one of the trucks with a driveline vibration. Starts in about 50 and gets worse up to 70 then goes smooth as a Cadillac at 75 and faster. I’m thinking the driveshaft and/or carrier bearing. The bucking I had from the fuel pump was sporadic but I had at low speeds

[@gamalielrenteria3964]

Brian Hill did you ever fix you truck? I'm having the same issue .

[@BugmanVlogs]

Fuel pump yes, driveline no. Ever since Covid hit I’ve worked to many hours a week to have time for working on the truck. Unfortunately until things slow down or we get another employee I have to put off things that unless completely broken I’m just going to deal with. Hopefully the cure will be just replacing entire driveshaft as mine is pretty rusted and just easier if all new instead of hassle of ujoints and carrier bearing replacement

[@brianhille7695]

@@gamalielrenteria3964 needed 2 injectors, they were on their way out. ended up selling the truck and making profit because of the market.Id recomend doing the same if you have a 6.0.

[@charlesryneer7271]

That video was good, is that for a high pressure 6.0 Diesel, that's on the frame Rail High pressure pump.

[@BugmanVlogs]

Thank you, this pump is for the 6.0 on the frame rail. It’s the only fuel pump it has and isn’t considered high pressure (65+psi). The high pressure is the 2nd pump in the oil system that runs the injectors. The cp4 pumps for high pressure fuel is on the 6.4 and up diesels.

[@timsmith9482]

Hi, Having a heck of a time getting the 2 plastic fuel connectors on the fuel filter side off with the tool . How long does it take once you open up the drain for the fuel to stop coming out? Should the gas tank be empty when replacing the fuel pump?

[@BugmanVlogs]

While my normal experience is a cup to half gallon I’ve heard of horrible situations of it never stopped coming out. Prepare for the worst is what I always do. Have everything disconnected (wires) then do 2 engine side fuel lines and then have new pump right there for when you disconnect tank side lines (nuts should be off pump bolts through frame as well) and get tank side reconnected as fast as you can. When mechanics do this in a shop they get empty to full tanks and it’s not always practical to pump tank. Time is money, lol.

[@leewebb7]

Did the new pump come with a filter already in it??

[@BugmanVlogs]

Yes

[@rjherrera9851]

What was your truck doing to realize you needed a new fuel pump ?

[@BugmanVlogs]

If I remember correctly it started with cutting out at high RPMs which I took for transmission slipping, then after changing fuel filters...pump was loud like a race pump and I definitely knew then it was going soon.

[@mf8913]

Bugman Vlogs did you have low fuel pressure?

[@jo5239]

Question my truck does going up the hill or even on flat ground thought it was my injectors sticking but then was told it was my fuel filters so replaced them today 7/11/21 but now I’m thinking it’s my fuel pump but don’t I have 2 on a 2005 Ford F-250 6.0. Now I’m throwing codes for contribution /balance and Mis fire but after watching your video I think it’s my pumps what’s your thoughts

[@BugmanVlogs]

There is only one pump on the inside frame rail. The part in the tank is just a sock filter. There is a possibility that it’s the pump if your getting multiple (3or more) contribution codes. 2 or less I would error towards injectors but fuel pump is a hella lot cheaper to replace than injectors.

[@jo5239]

@@BugmanVlogs ya I got like 5 codes

[@BugmanVlogs]

@@jo5239 I would think it’s the fuel pump then. Crazy how it can cause so many different symptoms.

@@jo5239 oh damn, was it the injectors after all?

[@rcgx692]

Is there any link for the special tools for removing the fuel lines?

[@BugmanVlogs]

I didn’t post a link. Fuel line tools are from harbor freight. You can buy off EBay or Amazon too and all are about the same. Just buy a kit with 5 or more and you’ll have all the sizes you’ll really ever use

[@mf8913]

I've got 41 static psi. Installed blue spring kit no change. I'm thinking it's the pump been like you said loud and funny noises

[@BugmanVlogs]

Does sound like a bad pump. Good that you changed spring. I’ve actually had a blue spring kit go bad. Little plastic piece in there broke off and was blocking a hole. Only thing it showed as bad was fuel pressure bouncing really fast.

[@elmercapriel8192]

My truck is leaking from that filter so do I have to change it?

[@BugmanVlogs]

Might try to change filter and install new o-ring on cap (which usually comes with filter). Make sure to coat o-ring in fuel or oil before installing. If it still leaks then probably housing is scratched and you’ll have to replace the whole pump.

[@thomasmahone1396]

What kind of tool do you use to open the drain plug?

[@BugmanVlogs]

The stock plug you use an Allen. I’ve had 2 aftermarket plugs that where different. One had extended head in a 14mm. Super nice to get an open end wrench on. The other had Allen in center and extended head that was knurled on outside for using fingers but I always used pliers as finger tight is to loose IMO.

At the pump under driver door

[@BugmanVlogs]

@@wecanranchlee I would be arrogant of me to say 100% yes but if it’s making a gargling noise something is definitely not right and would bet something is up with your pump. Will it fill the fuel bowl on top of the engine with key on?

[@carlthornton3076]

Very Good!..

[@BugmanVlogs]

Thank you!

[@glorialonghurst1405]

How much fuel am I going to get out of the lines when I disconnect them? Is it going to empty the tank.

[@BugmanVlogs]

I think about a cup per line drizzled out. I used the fingers of neoprene gloves to put over them and a bread tie to tighten. Keeps the fuel from dripping on you while you work. The most fuel will come from front lines and can empty the 2nd fuel filter/bowl if you don’t cover line end. The tank will not empty out. Lines come out of top and down so gravity is not an issue, lol. Hope this helps.

[@Bearairboatrides]

My truck drained about 3 gallons.

[@BugmanVlogs]

@@Bearairboatrides oh wow. Definitely some siphoning going on there. The lines, pump, and front filter can’t hold more than a half gallon or so.

[@Bearairboatrides]

@@BugmanVlogs Yes. It siphoned from my tank. The drain plug stripped so I couldn’t seal the hole. Finally stopped after a while.

[@ronalddelfera7612]

my truck went 5 gallons and kept draining had to put the pump in and plug it in so it stopped but it didn’t look like it was going to slow down

[@ericblanchard5873]

The exact sizes of tools would be very useful for me before I purchase the right sized tools. Thank you.

[@bhughes66]

What size is that drain plug for water and thread pitch

[@BugmanVlogs]

I will have to say I have no idea. It’s a special plug with a strange secondary part that has threads as well so it’s not something you can just by a standard plug for. I just bought aftermarket ones off eBay so it will have a bolt head along with Allen to take off. Nothing worse than when Allen strips out

[@menelik81]

Where did you buy the fuel pump?

[@BugmanVlogs]

It’s a NAPA pump but I found it on EBay. Good reviews for OEM, NAPA, and O’rielys.

[@menelik81]

@@BugmanVlogs thank you sir. Price range about $300-$500 average?

Yes, i would to shop a bit to save and stay in $300 area. I just checked and got mine with updated wire harness for $262.

[@chrisrogers8694]

I have a 03 F250 6.0 turbo diesel how can I tell if i have a tune on it???

[@chrisrogers8694]

Mine will also die 3 or 4 times a day then not die for just as many days. It will start right back up.

[@BugmanVlogs]

You can plug in a tuner and it will tell you or take it to a dealer. As far as the dying part, there is a fuel issue. List to start on would be fuel filters, bad fuel pump letting air in, possibly HPOP not keeping pressure up to injectors, plugged injector screens, hell even ICP or EBP sensor could be bad and possibly cause this. Scan gauge 2 or edge monitor is great start to know your parameters and go from there.

[@scottalvarez8870]

Does anyone know where to get the damn crappy plastic clips on the two fittings towards the back of the pump?

[@BugmanVlogs]

I would guess only Ford parts at the dealership or maybe search EBay. I’m not sure what they are called so you may have to research. I have only had horrible luck buying parts at a Ford dealership. Use small words and write in crayon if you don’t have a part number.

[@scottalvarez8870]

@@BugmanVlogs so the stealership says Ford no longer makes the plastic clips. You have to buy Moog 3/8 and 5/16 fittings then make your own ends now.

[@BugmanVlogs]

@@scottalvarez8870 thank you for the good info. Hopefully I don’t have to run into that in the future. Amazing that they are now stopping production on replacement parts like that. I’ve heard of several other things like that. Force many to buy newer if they can’t work on it which I’ve seen a huge portion of the population can’t so they win with them.

[@davidstanich9369]

Can you really not replace the pump without taking the entire module off

[@BugmanVlogs]

Correct, whole unit has to come off. They sell just the pump inside but I never took it that far apart. Mine was pretty corroded inside the water separator part so just did the norm since whole unit is out and replaced whole unit

[@leegarvin8551]

You should have changed the pigtail for the heater, since the new one has no heater. It will have a code like P0232. Can replace the pigtail to 2 plugs.

[@DanielRamirez-dd7mt]

Thank you sir just save some Money 💰

[@alexzavala2911]

I’m replacing my fuel pump. The auto parts gave me a fuel pump identical to the one my truck has the only different thing is that it has three electrical plugs and the new one has two there is an electrical plug next to the drain plug can somebody help me?

[@alexzavala2911]

Could I still install it like that? I will have an extra plug coming down.

[@BugmanVlogs]

Yes you can install it and just zip tie the extra connector out of the way. The omitted connector is for the fuel heater that is no longer in the newer pumps. Some pumps will come with a pigtail or plug to keep corrosion from shorting it. Another person on here said you will get a code for not having a pigtail but I’ve had no problems.

[@brianloftin9196]

I just watched the video and replaced mine. All you have to do is scroll the video to get to the part where he is under the truck. While he did not show step by step and actually remove the fuel lines in order to take a diesel bath, he did show you where to put the fuel line connector tools and that was all I needed. I also got mine out without removing the front drive shaft (although I was prepared to) because I was traveling with my family and doing it in a parking lot. Thank you for the video, sir. It was all the help I needed.
