faulty fuel gauge

[Slitherbeast]

If you didn't know, My gas gauge was erratic and untrustworthy! So , I tried to get a sending unit from UAP-NAPA but they didn't list anything . so, I went to my local dodge dealership and ordered a fuel pump assembly . they sending unit was part of the fuel pump. so, $408.00 and 5 weeks later, i get my fuel pump assembly. I lowered the tank today and found the assembly had fallen apart!! The new pump assembly wasn't any different so i re-enforced the tubes by installing hose clamps and installed a self tapping screw to the rods to secure it all . my guage works now and all is well !! i will reassemble the old pump assembly and check it electrically and use it as a spare. Just thought i would share.

That cool I will have to do this to mine

Yes. If you are ambitious or need to lower the tank, this mod ,I feel, is mandatory! Am I the only one with this problem? It's not a very good system! The sloshing of the fuel will stress the spring loaded basket supports to failure

Damn, $408.

$72 more and you could have bought one of Justin's 2 pump setups.

Same thing happened to me, covered under extended warranty, funny thing is they had to order a second pump, they said the one that came in was broken out of the box!
