4.6L/5.4L/5.8L HIGH VOLUME OIL PUMP W/ PICK UP

This pump appears to have the steel backing plate

I use it coupled with a TSS Billet gear.

I have this with whatever gears it comes out of the box.

I am using that pump in my new engine. Paid around $70 for it from Tousley Ford IIRC

That is the same ford pump with higher preasure plug because the spring is the same i've seen many fail, i just use melling pumps 10340 (regular gears but never seen one fail) or 10227 with billet gears

Can you elaborate on the FRPP pump failures?

This isn't the one with the billet backing plate is it? If so, I thought it had a different Part #?

You're right that is the one I use. I thought they were the same.

I didnt check the part number, I am using the one with the billet back plate.

negative, this one has a steel back plate VS powder pressed plate of the old pumps. I believe ford found the reason for the breaking gears was the flexing of the back plate binding up on the gears.

should be the same pump as this , pressure may be different?

Im currently running TSS gears in a 2013 pump with steel back plate.
