Dropped the tank this morning. Found the same problem as reported by crdieseljeep. The entire sending unit has separated. The base was only connected by the fuel supply/return tubing. There were two metal tubes and two springs rolling around in the tank.
Installed a Carter in-tank fuel pump. Not too bad of a job, about 4 hours.
Seems to be working well now.
A couple of questions for clarification!
Was this the OEM tank unit that came apart? (not a replacement unit)
Did you have to drop your hitch receiver to drop fuel tank as some were saying?
Knowing this may help some others in the future if they hear a noise coming from their fuel tank!
Just replaced the OEM fuel tank unit in my 96 Dodge gasser; gauge quit working a while back.
Good friend who is the Commercial Manager for the local Autozone informed me Carter and Delphi brand units were the only ones worth considering nowadays, everything else he said was junk and would not last...so I got a Carter unit!
