Return vs. Returnless (early '95) - pressures are also different. The
sending unit also uses different resistance values.

Subject: DML: Can I put an '04 gas tank in a '95 truck?

If anyone remembers that '04 that was being parted out a couple of weeks
ago...
I talked to Pat offline, and the truck is still available. I don't have
anywhere to park it at my place, or I'd consider taking it and parting it
out
myself. Jon, seriously, any desire to have a parts truck sitting around DML
HQ? He wants $750 Cdn for the whole thing.

I *was* thinking about grabbing the fuel pump. Based on AutoZone's web site,
the pumps are different parts between '95 and '04. I'm not sure what the
difference is, how interchangeable they might be, or whether the new pump
would
even fit in my tank or not.

Then I started thinking, if the tank changed enough to require a different
fuel
pump, maybe I could just move the entire tank over, pump and all. All it
needs
is power, a fuel line, and the gauge signal, right? As long as it'll
physically fit under the bed, it seems like it should work (at least in my
demented mind).

Just thinking out loud...

Jason
