I always try to buy OEM but the Motorcraft pump for my 1999 F250 Super Duty is not available right now. There are about 5 different possibilities for this truck and I have the long wheel base which determines what fuel tank and pump combo you have. Of any big names, Delphi is available to me. It …

I worked for Delphi. The company no longer exist by that name anymore. The pump business, I think, was sold to Borg Warner. Likely Chinese made. The weakest part of the pump was the fuel sender. I’d wait for the Motorcraft pump.

Thanks. Are there any other pumps you might suggest in case I cannot find the OEM? I am going to tell the mechanic to hold off for now as the truck runs fine with the current pump. The fuel level is just pegged above full no matter the actual level.

That is pretty much what I do now. I just fill it up when I am about halfway through the tank just to be safe.

Is there a GM oem equivalent that meets specs & fits? DELCO? Me, if truck worked ok otherwise, & only a fuel gauge problem on my own Ford truck, I’d wait until the Motorcraft branded unit became available .

I would go with Denso First Time Fit, if available for your model. I have purchased their radiators, fuel pumps, sensors, and various other parts, and never once been disappointed. Other than that, I would try to get OEM, or at least another quality brand (AC Delco, Bosch, Carter, etc.) I would have considered Delphi to be a decent brand, but apparently others here feel otherwise.
