They're mostly off the road now but Ford EEC-IV pumps were also terrible for reliability. If you got 100k you were doing really well.
The worst thing about them was that they wouldn't just fail. Quite often they'd get warm and then get flakey. Let the vehicle sit overnight and all seemed perfect again until they got warm again.
For my personal vehicles I've had fuel pump failure on an '88 Ranger, '90 Bronco, '95 F250, '02 Silverado 1500 and '03 Suburban 2500. All were purchased used so not sure *I* am the common denominator.
I replaced the pump proactively on my '11 F350 6.2 at 150k with another Motorcraft. That's one vehicle where I CANNOT be stranded if I can reasonably avoid it, and the R&R was reasonable in my estimation.
