I bought a 92 Bronco Eddie Bauer 5.8L. When I bought it I was told the fuel gauge didnt work and that it needed a fuel sending unit. I bought one from Motocraft and while my buddy was replacing it he said that it needed a new fuel pump as well but that it needed the fuel pump with a sensor on it. I have been looking around and I have found fuel pumps ranging from $50-$500 and none of them look the same and they all say it fits OEM replacement blahblah. I have also tried to find a used one but I cant seem to get ppl to follow through. Are the fuel pumps interchangeable, Which one do I need to get and what are my options. Would a f150 fuel pump work or would a 5.0L work. I am lost and no little about auto. Mechanics.

There are no universal fuel pumps or alternatives for you vehicle. I would NEVER attempt to use a used fuel pump. Sitting around in a junkyard is about the worst thing that can happen to it short of running it out of fuel. I wouldn't even buy one of those new Chinese made replacements sold at the discount parts stores. Buy a name brand replacement pump or your just going to be in for more problems.

I have been looking around all day and talking with my friend and I think he is just trying to be lazy and wanting me to pay more to make it easy on him? I already have the sending unit. He is saying I have to buy the whole new assembly already together because its the wires on top of the pump that are bad? Am I right when I tell him that I can just buy a new module and hook the sending unit to the new fuel pump module and have the same thing. Cause if I buy the whole assembly im out like 600 but if I just buy the module and connect it to the new sending unit than im only out like 300. Am I making sense please help?

Your going to have to buy that module no matter what. The pump is optional but I wouldn't overlook it. As far as the module goes, you could get a used one as long as it's not rusty but I would put a new pump on the used module.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
