I had a 1998 GT and also had to replace the fuel pump at around the same time. Unknown miles, because I bought it used and the odometer didn’t work.
I had to replace a lot more on it than that, and ended up selling it. But the ‘98 was a prior generation without as good a reputation as the 2000.
Of course, that’s all pretty minor compared to my last car: A 2011 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, which was fantastic until the automatic transmission started dying and the head gasket started leaking at 120k.

Interesting. I thought that Ford hooked the fuel pump to the odometer to fail at 110k miles!
