Well, its time to fix the blasted gas gauge this spring. I think its as most people
suspect it is: the fuel gauge sending unit. I found unit at RockAuto for $154 for a
Carter or $167 for an AC/Delco.
so this raises a question or two:
1. If I try this myself, is going to easier to remove the bed to gain access to the
top of the tank -or- should i raise the vehicle on a hoist and drop the tank with a
tranny jack?
2. On the draining of the tank: I read the FSM on this and it's still not 100% clear.
Can someone explain how to correctly drain the gas tank? On one hand, the FSM says "If
the pump is working, you can use the Fuel Supply Line to drain the tank.". But on the
other hand the FSM says to use the filler neck to drain. Which should I use? I guess
I could also get a hand pump and put a tube into the tank and pump the gas out myself.
Also I suppose it would be best to do it when the vehicle is nearly empty huh. LOL.
