2000 Ford Expedition

I was wondering if anyone has had to replace there fuel pump in this vehicle? I have 130,000 miles on it and was wondering if I should be worried about it going out on me soon? Thanks

198,000 miles on a 1999 and still going strong. Knock on metal!

I wouldn't worry until she goes. You didn't own a Chevy previously by chance did you? They are known for bad fuel pumps.

Keep your eye on your water pump, though.

Yes I did own a chevy before. 135,000 and it went on my chevy. Thats why Im asking now. Personally I dont want to be on my way to the lake with the boat and have it go out on me. That would be the pits. Glad to hear that the fuel pumps last long in the fords. Thanks everyone for responding to my question.

I have another question about the Expedition. Has anyone had problems with the heater and defrost motor going out in there vehicle? Mine went out, but not all at once. First the low setting went out, then the medium setting, now the high setting went out. Does anyone know if this is a normal problem with the Expedition? I took it to a mechanic and he said that ford was having problems with there blower motors. Was there a recall on this? My back blower still works, so I just adjusted it to hit me in the back of the head. Thanks for responding.

This sounds more like the blower resistor that controls the fan speed if it was the blower motor itself it wouldn't work at any speed. I just changed the one in my Explorer it was about $25 and about 10 minutes work.

THanks Scully, I will take it to a different mechanic who isnt a shiester. The first one was going to charge me $350 to fix it. Where does this resister go on the vehicle? Is it under the dash? THanks.

On my 97 Explorer it was under the hood on the passenger side back by the cowl. On my girlfriends car it was behind and below the glovebox inside the car. Look around online I found full instructions with pictures but I don't remember where it was. It wasn't a hard fix two bolts to take out the old one and put the new one in.
