none of the parts counters carry them. im thinking its dealer. i looked through the part # thread and didnt see it, may have looked over it but does anybody know the part number or where to find a new one? mine is intermittant i think i may be able to fix it but id like to know how much a new one is.

You might also need gasket and screws.

If it's intermittent, check your wiring before you go throwing money after parts FIRST. Problem area is where they rot on the top of the tank.

It's a dealer only item.
If it's intermittent it may be repairable.
Pull it out and clean the rheostat windings with electrical contact cleaner.

thanks i have verified the wiring is good, im going to clean the contacts tonight. the truck the tank was in sat with bad gas in it for almost 2 years and it was gunky i can access easily since i have a flat bed so its no big deal to clean it.

i went out and pulled the sending unit, it was all caked with rusty varnish so i pulled off the cover on the rheostat sprayed it with contact cleaner and used an old tooth brush to clean it off. i hooked it up and tested it and it worked but it wouldnt go past 3/4 tank on the gauge. i tried messing with it and hit it with some emry and then a green scratch pad and more cleaner. still did the same thing.
i remembered i had the old tank that was originally on the truck before i did the efi swap i looked at the sending unit and it has the same bolt pattern so i figured id take a peek. the only difference in the sending unit was the one on the sr5 model i pulled the tank/efi/gauges from has the extra "low fuel" light sensor which is a 3 wire plug the one i had originally was from a 2 wire setup without the light. it was as easy as a few snips a bit of solder and some shrink tubing to splice in to the original harness. it now registers correct.

btw kewlnyx i wasnt able to find the sending unit on either of those sites. dont need one now but id bet the stealer has it.

With these gas prices who can afford to fill up past 3/4 tank anyway?

Mine could have been like that for years and I still wouldn't know. I drop in $20 a week whether it needs it or not. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
