Replacement Fuel Guage

[crazywelder72]

I was wondering if anyone has replaced the stock fuel gauge with a non-military one? Besides 24 volts is there any specific important data that needs to be matched up to the sender?

My gauge decided to take a long nap today... so i am looking for a new one. ebay had them $50-$60. I didnt know what other choices were out there.

New Star, is the commercial company that produces the reproduction guages. Every now and then you will find someone on eBay, that has NOS.
I was able to get a NOS for a HMMWV, which didn't fit 100%, due to the rear mounting screws being a bit too short, but I made it work.
Even as surplus, guages run around $40 - $50.

I found this site last night. I just don't know if the Ω's is correct. The price is nice at about $20

The sender's are more likly to be bad than the guages.

I agree, but I was working on the cluster and saw a nice little puff of smoke inside the gauge.

WELL, thats always a good sign of bad things. It sure does make trouble shooting easyer.

The only thing that lies more consistantly than a career politician is a MV Fuel gauge.

My gauge hasn't worked since I got the Draggin'. I have a dip stick painted in 2" stripes that I use . . . in those rare times when I let it go bellow the filler neck Between that and always looking before and after I drive it I've never even felt that I needed a lieing fuel gauge, . . . and I do have a new sending unit that will go in . . . someday
