I have an air leak and have narrowed it down to the fuel tank module/sending unit. The Two connections coming out of mine are severly rusted and I have a good idea that is causing problems, is there anyway to repair those lines, such as replacement. My only option for replacement now is the dealership who wants $330 dollars for one. No parts stores around can get it for the diesel and i see them online on ebay all the time for 100 dollars however they are for a 98 and newer truck but it says the wiring connector needs to be modified. Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

try http://rockauto.com/, this is where I got mine

Do you have any idea how much it you paid for that part from them? and also was your sending unit messing up or did you have an air leak like in my case?

Thanks,
Dave

 

The dealer sells rebuilt modules for around $125

 

The dealer near me said they couldnt get the rebuilt ones anymore? Id pay 125 bucks in a heartbeat, rebuilt or not

 

Mine was sucking air at the metal elbows. I did away with those quick disconnect jobs and just ran rubber. I paid around or a little less than 300$ but it was a brand new CARTER unit and it is working great!

do a search for vulcan draw straw...i replace my elbows with it, 50 bucks and it was worth every penny

 

vulcan draw straw says its only for 98 and newer trucks, can it still be used on a 97 truck or does anyone know?

 

Here is my signature also:

 

The only diff between the 97 and 98 12 valve Mod is the sender diff OHMS
the 98 sender will not work on the 97 the rest of the mod is the same
