Broken fuel level guage

The sending unit in the tank is almost always the problem that causes a bad fuel gauge. In order to replace it the bed has to be lifted or the tank dropped. The Dodge part number for the sending unit is 4797738. It's about $70 or maybe a little more. Don't let them sell you the whole tank fuel module, especially the one for the gasser which has a fuel pump built in it.

My gauge wasn't workin either, I order a new fuel sender, its jus a arm and with a float and a sensor. I think I paid 65 bucks from the dealer. I had to argue with the guy because he said that it had a fuel pump in the tank like a gasser. typical dealer though.

Yup. what they said, I replaced 3 in the last two weeks at work. It's really simple (as long as your fuel tank is empty). PM me if you have any questions about doing it :thumbsup

yea all you need is the little arm part of it. its 70 bucks from dodge.

sweet. thanks guys. for the time being I think I'm gonna just use the tripometer as he had for the past several years because other more pressing issues with this truck have come up.
