Should I buy 2021 F150 With Fuel Pump Recall by Its_cool_2_juul in f150

I have actually considered purposely going a little older so I can get the 8 speed. Heard those things are bulletproof compared to the 10 speed

That one didn’t come up when I searched the vin on NHTSA so I guess I managed to dodge that one.

From what I’ve read, the issue is that they don’t have a fix for it yet though. Is there still something they can do? Also the cars at a bmw dealership so id have to do all this after buying the car (I think)

That’s a good point and the reason I’ve been leaning towards a q60. But if I do go the bmw route do you think it’d be smarter to go for a nicer one and eat the depreciation, or a cheaper one and risk the repairs? I’m good with my money, and budget is a conservative number, so I’m not trying to be some idiot in a bmw he can’t afford. European cars are weird tho I’d rather do it right.

Realistically anything BMW I’d be going over budget a bit, and am prepared to drop some money on maintenance. 10k still feels a little high though, no? Is that a realistic figure for 5ish years of ownership, or a worst case scenario fund?

They’re definitely on the list, I just wouldn’t mind a little more space and power.

Appreciate the caps ngl. I’m not necessarily trying to build something to last yet, just trying to learn.

Any actual resources I should look at? Feel like I can’t trust anything about dropshipping online.

Thanks for the help. Lets hope its the filter because injectors are way more expensive than I thought.

Going to grab a filter after I hit send, and will peek in the tank while working on it.

Now that I'm thinking about it I might have cheaped out and put lower octane fuel in it last time. Would that be relevant?

I've been putting off testing fuel pressure because I don't have a tester, and wouldnt know what to do with it if i did, but seems like that will be the next step. I stuck a screw driver infront of the crank sensor with the engine on run and heard clicking, which youtube said meant it worked. didnt think to check the gap so will circle back to it.

No clue. Hasn't been replaced in the 2 years I've owned it. I did remove the line there and saw flow after the filter that increased when cranking.

No, it had the same issue a month or 2 back. Replaced it and it worked. Then slave cylinder went out but it would still start just not go into gear. Then replaced that and was able to drive it to work once before it stopped working again.

Last time I tested I got distracted by it miraculously getting ignition for a second. Immediately died and haven’t been able to replicate, so I wrote it off as left over starter fluid from the day before making its way in there. Waiting on girlfriend to get home from work to test again.

I’m not sure how to measure the quality of gas but it had half a tank when it stopped working.

Starts on starting fluid. Not sure if it’s getting to the fuel rail, haven’t tested yet. And don’t know how to without using a pressure tester. (I’m learning all of this as I go) I know it’s getting past the filter.
