2005 dodge ram 1500

Q: the fuel guage in my 66 camper special has stopped working. guage is good so it has to be the tank sender. i have no hope of finding a 66 dodge truck tank sender and wonder if anyone knows if something from something else could fit. what got me thinking was running across a 60s vintage international awd truck in a local wrecking yard that also has the tank behind the seat. dont assume that because the gauge is good the sender is the culprit if the tank isnt properly grounded a good sender wont function correctly. if it is the sender you might contact these folks they reportedly can rebuild/repair your sender. instrument services inc. 11765 main st. roscoe il 61073. 815-623-2993 toll free 800-558-2674. .

what purpose would doing this really serve while the spray may indicate pressure it will give you no value of how much pressure especially spraying into and under a rag or valid flow amount this way and you still risk damaging the port. ok let me state this more plainly than i did before since it obviously escaped you. using a guage would be the proper way to do this test. however lacking that the tip of a screw driver can be used to ascertain if pressure exists. there is a minimal chance of damage unless you are a hamfisted brute with no sense of force. if that describes you then yes you will have a problem with damage not only with the valve but the hood and most body panels on the truck. the dashboard is also at risk if you like to air drum. and you can guarantee this will you offer to pay for a new fuel rail if he damages it with your method or a new vehicle if he catches it on fire yeah i can guarantee this. seen it done so many times it would boggle your mind. no the first rule is to do no harm. nope thats some other philosophy like the hippocratic oath or the prime directive. giving him bad advice on how to test for pressure could get him hurt damage the rail or at worst get him killed and or destroy the vehicle. the manual has specific warning about doing crap like this and i think that they know just a little bit more about it than you. the manual has a specific warning about a port that you claim they say may not even exist it has no such warning in my 2000 fsm. playing games like this requires experience and i dont know if the op has it do you um yeah i think he has experience unscrewing a cap and pushing a pin valve. its not too much different than putting air in a tire. well my fsm has instructions and several pictures showing exactly how its done. now if the same design was in use as early as 94 i dont know and i wrote as much. well i do and it wasnt. terrific you know everything i should have figured you would know this as well. i also both own the fsm for a 97 same basic series as his and replaced the pump in mine and if it was possible and easier to just replace the filter and regulator i would have suggested it in my list of things to do but until he sees the actual pressure and flow amount replacing it is just blindly throwing money at the problem. i felt it was worth mentioning given the age of the vehicle. if you dont like it that i mentioned it go whine to someone who cares. there are several sources on the net where an fsm for this truck can be purchased. limiting a search to the dealer network would be foolish. i never said anything different but dodge will be of no help here. i never said he had to buy it from dodge. lol what a case of pkb here maxi. you have offered nothing of and added value here only to try and contradict what i have said. yup you are truly a schmuck. try reading what i said instead of disagreeing with me and then repeating what i said. im done here youve reacted as predicted and planned. youll reply to this no doubt have fun. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author most is not all true but id bet on a dodge there is one. and if you damage the test port taping a pin in it then you really are sol and you will still have fuel spraying at high pressure into the engine compartment not a good idea. if you do it while the engine is running yes. if you take proper precautions such as not doing it when the manifolds might be hot the engine wont be running and it will be a minimal amount of fuel. what purpose would doing this really serve while the spray may indicate pressure it will give you no value of how much pressure especially spraying into and under a rag or valid flow amount this way and you still risk damaging the port. my 97 manual says that some of the fuel rails have a test port not all of them. the appropriate precautions are to use the correct tools and use them correctly. yup a small flat blade screwdriver and a bit of finesse and you wont hurt the valve. and you can guarantee this will you offer to pay for a new fuel rail if he damages it with your method or a new vehicle if he catches it on fire if you are going to advise a person on how to fix something themselves the first rule is to tell them how. no the first rule is to do no harm. giving him bad advice on how to test for pressure could get him hurt damage the rail or at worst get him killed and or destroy the vehicle. the manual has specific warning about doing crap like this and i think that they know just a little bit more about it than you. playing games like this requires experience and i dont know if the op has it do you as to the filter and regulator by 2000 the pair with in a seperate housing on top of the pump. b

oh grow up max. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving thank you for your help yes right now i in the beginning od the lemon process. at 36000 miles i didnt think any state extended lemon law coverage that far... i still think this guy is full of crap. why ask a group of non certified non experts who couldnt be called on to testify about his problems with a cummins engine allegedly destroyed by water that 1 is already being dumped out of warranty 2 appears to have cost too much under warranty 3 has unclear issues between what the dealer claims and what the dealer employeees who are for all intents and purposes the observers for the dealership saw 4 is allegedly in a legal process of some sort thus alleviating the further need for advice on how to fix it 5 has just allegedly been replaced by another truck meaning that the op is now paying for two trucks. 6 which means he doesnt have a reason to file for the lemon law since hed get more $$ for the truck privately if it were not declared a lemon. this whole situation is a bit lacking in full disclosure. -- max there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author thank you for your help yes right now i in the beginning od the lemon process. at 36000 miles i didnt think any state extended lemon law coverage that far... .
