Fuel pump driver module, back side of module corroded away exposing circuit board causing the fuel pump to stop running and leaving me stranded during a snow storm,seems to be a common problem on 2004-2008 ford pickups. I consider this a poor design and should be a recall, lot of garages installing new fuel pumps at 300.00 a crack when its a easy to replace 80.00 dollar part. *tr
