I read another post, "Never buy Ford again" with similar probelm said it was diagnosed to fuel pump. Is this a pretty common thing and if so how bad is a fuel pump change.

Is the pump from bat better than the stock one?...or is there an aftermarket performance pump that might be a better choice? Black/Tan 00 SVT Do Tinted windows count as modified?

BAT's fuel pump is only $75 for pump and filter. im sure you can find a performance one around somewhere by surfing but id stick w/the stock one. its a personal opinion. i dont know where to tell you to find an upgrade. 00 Toreador Red SVT-#1751 of 2150 KKM intake No resonator Eibach springs 2 1/2" drop No door ding guards Side markers

I had to have mine replaced under warranty 4 months after I bought the veh with 18k on the odo.
