Frank,
Sounds like your sending unit has gone bad. This is a fairly common
problem. I have had to replace the unit once so far. There have been
others on the list that have had their units replaces 4-5 times. Since you
have to drop the tank to get at the unit, I would recommend replacing the
entire unit as opposed to just one component of it. It contains the fuel
pump, the sending unit, and one of the fuel filters. I can't remember if
there is anything else in the module. Make sure you replace the gasket on
the fuel tank also.

Hi all,
I am a new member, I have a 95 Dakota Sport with a 3.9 V6 I don't have any
picture to put in yet, but I do have a problem. When my Dakota was still
under warrenty, my fuel pump was going out and they replaced it. I have a 20
gallon fuel tank, and when it has 1/4 tank or less, the fuel gauge works
like it is supposed to, now that the warrenty expired, my fuel gauge bounces
from full to empty while the truck is moving or idling, if I turn the key on
and don't move the turck, it will work properly.
Has anyone had this problem? If so please let me know or give me some
suggestions on how to fix it.
Thanks,
Frank
