* Brand: OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts from Ford will be the most expensive. Aftermarket brands offer a range of prices and quality levels. Some reputable aftermarket brands include Bosch, Delphi, and Airtex.
* Location: Prices can fluctuate based on your geographic location and the retailer you choose.
* Purchase location: Buying online might be cheaper than at an auto parts store, but you'll have to factor in shipping costs.
* Labor costs (if not doing it yourself): This is often a significant part of the total cost. A mechanic will charge for their time and expertise to install the new pump.
Rough Estimates:
* Aftermarket fuel pump: You might find a replacement fuel pump for between $50 and $200. Lower-end options will be closer to $50, while higher-quality options could approach $200 or more.
* OEM fuel pump: Expect to pay significantly more for a genuine Ford fuel pump, potentially exceeding $200.
* Labor: Expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 or more for professional installation, depending on your location and the mechanic's labor rate.
In short: You should budget anywhere from $150 to $500 or more for the entire job, including the part and labor. To get a precise cost, you'll need to check prices from local auto parts stores and mechanics, specifying your vehicle's engine size (4.0L V6 is the most common for that year).
