2008 Ford F-150: Fuel pump / module on frame
2008 Ford F-150 · 11th (2004-2008 redesigned, not Heritage) · 5.4 3V Triton, 4.6 3V Triton
What this is
These trucks carry a fuel-pump module on the frame. It rusts, it leaks, it leaves you with hard starts and stalling. The part is not exotic. The labour and the rust around it are what you are buying.
How you’d notice
- Hard starts
- Stalling
- Pump module rusty on the frame rail
- Fuel smell near the frame
Typical shop cost
| Repair | CAD | USD |
|---|---|---|
| Independent shop, parts and labour, before tax | $600–$1,200 | US shop quotes vary |
As of 2026. Ballpark, not a quote for the vehicle in the ad. CAD figures are Vancouver Island independent-shop ranges. USD is only printed when we’ve entered a US shop range — we don’t invent one.
A lift, not a driveway glance. You pay the shop. First appointment of the morning so the engine is cold.
Mechanic’s tip: spot it before you buy
On a hoist, look at the frame-rail pump module for rust and seepage. Hard starts plus a rusty module is a pattern, not a coincidence.
The bigger picture on this listing
This page is the year and model. The report is the vehicle in the ad. We do not publish, for this listing:
- whether these photos hide this job
- whether the asking price already assumes it
- tax on this price
- a named shop in this city — we only print phones we’ve checked
That’s the $34.99 document. Homework, not an inspection.
Questions people actually ask
Can I see this in listing photos?
Sometimes, if there is an underside shot. Most Marketplace ads do not have one. That is why the paid report flags missing belly photos.
Is a new pump a reason to walk away?
No. A rusty, dripping module plus a high asking price is a discount. A replaced module with a receipt is a plus.
