I doubt you will find one locally, I'd buy the LMC one and be done with it.

Well hell, that's cleaner than a repop tank.
So I'm finished replacing the filler hose. I replaced every clamp and kept the old vent hose because it wasn't too bad. Right after i finished, I got in the truck to get gas and noticed the gauge was stuck on full. I know it isn't full because it had a half tank. How do I diagnose this? Is this just a coincidence? Or did I break something in the process of taking off the hoses. I did have the truck started a few times with the hoses off the tank so idk if that had anything to do with it, but any help would be appreciated.

By the way I just wanted to say thanks for everyone's help. This website is an awesome resource and I'm learning a lot about fixing my truck. It's really nice to have all this support for stuff like this that isn't easy to just look up on YouTube. It feels great to know I just fixed that leak on my own with the help of this forum rather than spending 500 bucks for my local shop to drop the tank and inspect it. It felt amazing to go fill it with gas and no gas came spilling out near the filler hose!

How do I find that wire and how do I tell if it's good/bad?
