That unit, which contains the fuel pump, fuel gauge and fuel filter, is
submerged in gas, gas is its "cooling" element and a good, expensive reason
why you should not run a low amount of fuel(couple bucks here & couple bucks
there kind of route) alot int the truck.
Unless you want to save some sough and change it yourself, it cost me about
$550 @ my Dodge dealer here in town to have it changed on my '95.
I would personally love and exterenal or mechanical fuel pump for the
dakotas vs. the intake garbage...
