Anyone have a service manual, and be willing to tell me what “book” is for a Fuel Pump Module replacement on a 2011 4x4 5.0 Lariat?

I’ve received different labor quotes from different shops, and when I called Ford (corporate) they refuse to tell me how many hours Ford quotes as “book labor”.

 

A dealer should be able to give this info, along with a price.

 

Labor times will vary a little depending on which labor guide you use, so I've included the labor times from two different guides. Keep in mind that these labors times are just a starting point and don't account for any complications. In some parts of the country, it's not uncommon for these trucks to have massive rust holes in the frame by this age, so some shops may quote higher labor times if they expect to run into issues relating to rust or other factors.

The book time for the fuel pump driver module is 0.4/0.6hrs. The low pressure fuel pump module (pump assembly in the fuel tank) book time is 3.0/3.0hr for a truck with a one-piece driveshaft, and 3.2/3.3hrs for a truck with a two-piece driveshaft.

 

I assume half of that .4 hours for the module is finding the right wrench?

 

NYTruck <> Thank you for your response. Two dealers would not tell me book, but they did quote me a price. And because they varied wildly in labor quotes, I wanted to know whom was charging over book. Thus, my call to Ford, and the ensuing search here.

SALEEN <> Thank you ever so much! One was charging book; one was charging 25% over book.

 

On my 2004 Lariat 4x4 it was located just behind the rear axle, just above the spare tire on the driver side. I picked a used one up from another Ford in the wreckers. I then unplugged the dead module (left it in place), plugged in the used module and zip tied in a place where the aluminum module was not in direct contact with steel. It didn't corrode anymore, the plug was easily accessible if it failed again and I kept 2 other used modules in the truck with me just in case it did but never needed them over the next 4 years before I retired the truck (still have the used modules).

If it is the same on the 2011 the 0.4/0.6 hrs seems bang on for time to replace.

 

KRUISR <> The fuel tank had to be dropped to replace the pump/sending unit/screen filter. It was 3.0 hours labor, and .5 hour for KAM update.

My fuel gauge (on the dash) had been inaccurate for years, and I had been operating off of my tripometer & ECU's fuel burn numbers to gauge my refueling. I had once called Ford (corporate) & extended my VIN so as to determine my fuel tank size. They had erroneously informed me I had a 35 gallon tank which I had used as my baseline. I had a busy day, and I ran my gauge to 30 gallons [burned] thinking I'd be able to refuel after work. After work, my truck wouldn't start after 2 long start attempt cycles (auto starter). Lucky, I have a 5 gallon fuel tank backup in the bed, but I think I burned the fuel pump running it dry with 185,000 miles on it. After that, it had difficulty starting whereas it would take 2 seconds to start as opposed to how it used to start immediately. I immediately brought it in to the shop to check fuel pressure which metered @48psi @start-up. To confirm my suspicions, I was informed this was low, and a new pump was required. Apparently, the sending unit has the fuel gauge in it so my dash gauge was fixed, as well.

 

So, you have the 26g tank and the reading was way off at 30g used?

 

SPIKY <> Honestly, I have no idea what the exact tank capacity is, but when I ran it dry it took (2) 5 gallon tanks where it was parked, & then after about a 2 mile drive it took 20.2 gallons at the pump. I deduced it was a 28 gallon tank. I figured it was actually 4.5 gallons each 5 gallon tank, the 2 mile stop & go drive drank an 1/8 gallon, and the 20.2 at the pump got me to 29 gallons in. I guessed it was 28 plus the plumbing.

Furthermore, the ECU always seems to report it had burned about a gallon more than I fill at the pump. So the 30 gallon burn number, was consistent with the 29 gallon fill.

 

Well, it's not that important. But, you can find pics of the 2 and compare to yours if you want, they are actually quite similar looking. There is only 26 or 36. Unless...DIY hack or something. That seems unlikely.
You obviously had a damaged sender/pump from the time you had it, so all the measurements are little help.
