Fuel Level Gauge Gone Bad
My fuel float has been off ever since I got this truck, it would tell me I was empty when I still had at least 10 gallons of fuel left. Well, now it is just stuck telling me full all the time.
I went by the dealer and asked about replacing it, they said I had to replace the whole lift pump as the gauge was part of the lift pump.
A. Is this accurate?
B. If I need to replace the lift pump, what is better than OEM? I have wanted to do a FASS type system, but that wouldn't fix my fuel gauge problem.

The Dealers are good at robbing us without a gun. You can buy a replacement fuel level float assy. from RockAuto for around $75.00, which screws onto your fuel canister, It's plug and play. I have the same issues as you. I also replaced my lift pump five years ago with a Fass DDRP which produces 18-22 psi without fail, to this date. I just need help dropping the fuel tank or lifting the bed. This should not be a big deal. I will never allow the dealer to install a new fuel canister with the electric lift pump in the tank. I hope I have been a help to you, Good luck.

I checked Rock Auto and can't find the part. I checked the following parts diagram and couldn't find it either:

Does anyone have a part number?

You can order the fuel sender from RockAuto and they will notify you when they receive their next shipment.

I dropped my fuel tank and removed the fuel canister to check the fuel float, a factory screw or whatever had fallen out, I replaced the screw and washer and cleaned the contact points, reinstalled and everything is working as it should now.
