oh ! could i replace this stuff my self? would i need to take it to ford after i do so they can reprogram my car ? what replacement options would you guys recomend !?

You could replace the fuel pump yourself.

The fuel pump is p/n 7R3Z9H307C. $204.48 from Bob Utter Genuine Ford Parts www.bobutterfordparts.com

With all the 100s (if not 1000s) of guys who have replaced the stock pump with dual GT500 or other systems, there must be tons of used units out there. I just sold mine recently for $30 shipped.

p.s. I wouldn't let a Ford dealer put air in my tires, much less have them actually do anything mechanical. So they would not get that $900 from me... sheesh, what a crock.

There you go PM these guys and get a good deal on a used system. You don't need to reprogram you car.

The cannister is under the black protective cover just behind the rear bumper. Yes a Predator can read and clear codes.
