I had the pump rebuilt by Adney, but once I put pressure it leaked  
massively. I actually found the fuel pump the other day, so hopefully I can  send 
it back and see what can be done. If less than $50, then yes, defiantly  will 
rather stay stock and pay a small business. However, if not, the Airtex  
e2000 is about the same diameter and will fit in the mount. Then a harness  
from the stock wiring to the lugs is made up and connected, plus new hose  
arrangement. Not a lot of work and reversible. The pump also has a limited  
lifetime warranty, but no information on what that means. (eye roll)
 
I've actually started using the Precision brand version of that pump,  from 
O'Rielly's. It's priced at 85.99, and comes with a limited lifetime  
warranty. You do need to trim some of the sleeve they send with it, to fit the  
Bosch pump brackets, as it's a little larger in diameter than the Airtex pump, 
 or the stock Bosch pump. Unfortunately, I don't have the part number for 
it at  the moment, but if you walk into the store, and tell them you need the 
frame  rail pump for an 86 Ford Ranger, it'll be that pump. Keep in mind 
that you  have to buy a fuel filter too, or you void the warranty.  
I hope this helps.
