Are the non i/c and i/c sending units interchangeable?

 

Jimbo, from what i've seen and read, they should be the same. As a matter of fact, i think it's the same in my 2001 also.

 

fuel sending unit # 52017992 $64.75
Fuel tank seal # 52018808 $10.20

(those are list prices)

Make sure you check with your dealer for the application and it matches, but those should be the numbers.


I would also suggest changing out the seal that the fill tube goes into, as it will add another $12 to your job.

I just dropped my tank in my 92, and had the fuel sending unit and seal in hand. Unfortunately, when I removed the fuel fill tube, the other seal that the fill tube goes into ripped out during disassembly. Never thought I needed it, and now I'm 3 days out without the truck back together, as I ordered it online. Not close to a local dealer that's worth a darn.

New fill tube seal will be here today, and I can post the number later if you wish.

 

That'd be great, thank you!

Just to be clear, by sending unit, I mean the entire assembly. That being the case, will the electrical and fuel line connections work without modification?

 

That part # I provided is NOT THE CASE INCLUDED. It's just the sending unit which attaches to the bucket / reservoir assembly's side.

You need to get the entire assembly from the dealer. They need the lst 9 digits from your vin to get the correct one.

That one is significantly more $$$$$

Call Wholesalemopar with your vin.... 800-428-0517 and if Robert answers, tell him " T. " referred you.

Their prices are really good, comparatively from our local dealer.

excuse my ignorance, are you all reffering to the piece that works the fuel gauge(located on top of the tank) or of the fuel pump? im no mechanic soo please forgive me again!

 

Re-read the title of the thread...

Gotcha. Thanks again. Luckily the '91.5 is complete a donor truck. I know the cases themselves vary between the i/c and non i/c trucks which is why I was curious if the assemblies were interchangeable.

Why are you changing the entire assembly, when the sending unit is just 2 screws and a seal ?

Well, looking at the 2 articles in the sticky regarding big fuel lines, it seems the i/c assembly is designed better. I like the preliminary screen at the bottom rather than a "sock" filter on the non i/c assembly.
