Which engine? Assuming you're referring to the 5.4L 3V, none of them came from the factory with an updated oil pump.

According to this person it wasn't updated until 2020:

I'm probably wrong but I thought that I read on one of the threads here that in the mid 2008 model year they changed the oil pump?? I'm looking at a 02/2008 manufacture date EB with 120K on it and it looks well cared for and the carfax shows the same... reasonably priced and I want to pull the trigger but I was looking for a nudge to... I have had a 2001 EB, a 2006 EB that I just got rear ended in so I'm on the hunt for another.
My prior trucks have had some quarks that can be dealt with with minimal labor and I like the platform and I drive them fairly hard so I cant complain much. I'm hoping that my next will do the same :happy160:

You might be thinking of the spark plugs. They changed from the problematic 2 piece design to 1 piece right around then. But it wasn't the oil pump.

The only pump upgrade I know of is when you go in there and upgraded yourself
