    A request for assistance with Fuel transfer valve, switch, and fuel gauge

    Okay, little bit of an update: I went ahead and lifted the truck back up and lowered the passenger side tank. I double checked all of the wiring grounds and everything. I had power down to the 213 pigtail, at the right pin and I had power to the sender. I also had power on the return wire back...

    A request for assistance with Fuel transfer valve, switch, and fuel gauge

    ....... And that very well may be where I blew it. I did not verify that each of the sending units worked. I suppose this is where an ounce of prevention comes in.

    A request for assistance with Fuel transfer valve, switch, and fuel gauge

    Thanks a bunch for the compliments fella's, The issue I am having is no reading on the fuel gauge. I get a needle that sits at empty no matter the toggle position. I believe what I am looking for as a resolution is for away to just bypass the factory sending unit and fuel gauge wiring and...
