NAPA does not make anything, all parts are outsourced, so at a 90% guess I'd say its a Dorman. if its a says made in china than for sure its a dorman. I only buy dorman on weekends cause dealership is closed. can't say I have ever had problem with dorman fpdm just prefer to keep the money in the states.

I just bought whatever brand Advanced Auto Parts had, (only one on hand) since it was a Sunday, I was not really caring about what brand. I needed it working for work.
. Sometimes it is just whatever is available.

I had to replace the fpdm on my 06 xlt 4.6 a few years ago after it left my family and I stranded on the side of a interstate. I had it at the dealer a few days prior telling them to the fpdm and they told me to replace the fuel pump so I did and waisted my time. And let me tell you mine had a huge hole in the back of it the connector plug was partially melted and it reeked of burnt electrical, I stuck it inside a plastic baggie inside of a box the new one came in and I could still smell it. That bad. Any ways I now have a 07 fx4 5.4 does it have the same fpdm in the same spot? Thanks.

Yes sir, it does.
Job 1 for you is to inspect ASAP. If it looks good, remove it, clean it and the surrounding area an remount with some stainless hardware with a couple extra nuts/washers to act as a spacer.
Oh yeah - give it a lght coat of Fluid Film too - both the FPDM and the mounting area. Will help keep the spooge at bay.
Lastly - go buy a spare , put it in a fresh non-smelly baggie and toss it into yer onboard parts cache.

My PO mentioned he had changed bcos it corroded. That was probably 1 or 2 yrs ago. When weather gets better am sure gonna take a look and make a shield of some sort. Sure someone here must have done it. What a place to keep this bugger in. Where do the newer trucks have their FSCM..?
Newer as in 09+? AFAIK, it's in the same place as the '04-'08's.
A shield will only promote the accumulation of crud around the unit unless it is totally sealed. And totally sealing it is a bad idea as it needs to 'breathe - to shed heat.
Either use standoffs and keep an eye on it via seasonal inspections ( done at the same time as you drop the spare to wash and reinflate it every quarter - a good time as it's obscured by the spare itself) or relocate it inside the cab as described earlier.
And pack a spare.

I try not to over-engineer these types of things by modifying. I completely agree with the addition of stand-offs. The one I purchased came with rubber ones.
The way I see it... my stock part lasted almost 100k, so the new one (redesigned with stand offs) should get me through another 100,000+ miles.
MGD- Great advise about regular inspection while servicing the spare. You know your stuff.
