The other thing I can think of besides the fuel gauge and circuit panel is that this new fuel sending unit is bad ☹ I should have tested it before install, as just because parts are new doesn't mean they work.

Thanks for reply, I hooked mine back up that way as there is no 3rd fuel hard line on the truck. So I'm not sure what everyone else seems to refer to there originally being 3 lines + 1 capped off. Truck ran before hooked up this way, should run again the same. I just dont know how the tank is...

Got the tank back on and everything installed, including the new ground wire, reconnected the original sending unit "signal" wire, and installed the new sending unit hoses to the hard lines I had to make a new ground wire as the connector on the old one broke off when I was removing the tank. So...

well... working on truck today, went to change my fuel hoses preparing to begin reinstall..... and here's "something" i ran into... We all know there are 3 ports on civy fuel sending unit, instead of the 4 ports on the military sending units, one of which is capped off as it was only used to...

i ended up zip tying it up under the bottom side of the sending unit out of the way.

my luck the tank will leak now

if you can't fix it, you just need a bigger hammer

now I flipped the straps and the big end of the tank fit now... but now the small end of the tank won't reach :deadhorse:

well now the 2nd strap won't reach. 1st one fit fine on small end of tank. Bo⁰th these straps are the same length, and are the ST01 which I read on other threads was the right part number. also what was listed by summit as being the straps for this Tann. I have beat the lip of the tank in about...

got new sending unit. is this black wire on the sending unit for a water in fuel sensor? if so is the cucv supposed to have this sensor in the tank? As I thought it was in the fuel filter housing. if it's not needed, should I cut it off? zip tie it up? pulled old unit, looks completely...

Yeah after I got the hoses cleaned up, I think they are reusable. I think it was the stripped out clamp that I found later that was allowing it to leak. I wouldn't mind switching to a civy fuel neck and hose, but I'll have to let that go for now. I got the rivets drilled out and 1/4" - 20...

here's a question... how do you reattach the new straps to the frame brackets? these have large rivets. I have rivots, but nothing that big. Nor do I have a rivet gun that would accept that large of rivits. think 1/4 bolts would work? They fit the holes on the new straps perfectly. but the...

I just took apart the filler neck and the filler and vent hoses and cleaned them up a bit. On the filler neck hose clamp that held it on the filler neck, I found the screw was stipped out. So thats probably where it was leaking, as the hoses look good no cracks or etc. So I may just finish...

ok, finished getting the tank down today. doesn't look to bad actually other than being filthy. I havent pulled the sending unit too look inside, but through the fill port it actually looks fairly clean. In any case, apparently someone has been in here before, as this sending unit is only a...

There are shortages of about everything these days. Another reason I want fix everything I can to get/keep my truck fully up and running. I have heard from a Number of people who had something break on their vehicle, often little stupid sensors or etc, and for some of them their vehicles have...

no problem. I get what you were saying, and I normally would look up and see what was the correct lube for whatever I'm working on if I didn't know. But I just used what I had on hand as I didn't even know if the bearing was still going to work. I figured any grease was better than it running...

Well I got my fuel tank yesterday. But was disappointed when it arrived, as the entire end of the box was busted out and and the rest beaten up. There were multiple dents, mostly in the "flange" where they weld the top and bottom halves of the tank together. I didn't see any damage to the seam...

yeah maybe, but white lithium (in a can not the spray stuff) or red "tacky" grease is all that I had on hand. Maybe the red grease would have been better. But anything has to be better than nothing though.

This truck is my daily driver too, actually its my only vehicle I have right now. Just a couple weeks ago the rear brake caliper went bad on my Dad and Moms small SUV. So I had to replace the caliber, brake hoses, and pads. Thats the only vehicle they have, so I used my truck to go back and...

took inner seal off front bearing, it was dry. what little grease was left was completely dried up, took a pick and picked out a few pieces. put in some white lithium grease, what I was able to get in there. after I got the alt back together, I tried spinning the pully and could feel a little...
