hey guys yesterday my truck broke down in the middle of driving. battery isnt dead and the motor turns over just fine. from what i could tell i didnt have any oil pressure but i dont know if that was before or after it quit running. checked everything under the hood visualy but couldnt find anything wrong, the truck has 120000 miles on it idk if that has anything to do with it but i was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance on whats wrong with it. i wont have it till later today when i tow it back from a friends house but any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Turn the key to ON (but not start) to see if you can hear the fuel pump prime up.

What year is yours again, 2001?

i think that is the problem i just checked it by comparing it to our f250 with the same motor in it nothing in the expedition but i could hear it in the 250 and idea of how much it costs to take it in for someone to fix it vs doing it yourself? how hard is it? thanks for your help

What, replacing the fuel pump? I've got instructions on how to do it, if you want them. More or less, just a bunch of disconnecting of hoses, using a jack to lower the tank, while loosening the bolts/straps that hold it in.
