if it is working and your fuel gauge is also operational you should be ok. dont let the pump run dry for long as it is not good for it. the old pump had three independent grounds pins 45and 6and they were probably combined in this newer unit to a single ground. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving do i need all 6 of them i connected this pump with the 6 wire connector and it does run. strange that airtexs site says this pump with 4 wires is for 96 and 97 dodges. http//www.airtexproducts.com/parts/airtex-ecat.html peter tbone fatchance@noway.now schreef in bericht the 97 uses a 6 wire connector. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving i got my new pump but it has only 4 connections i.s.o. 6 i checked the airtex site and this pump should be the pump for my truck. does anyone have had the same problem. what pump should it be then plse help peter dodge ram 1500 v8 96 .

good luck with your installation. the only wires that should be going to the pcm is the sensor ground and the fuel level sensor signal. while the sensor ground is not needed by the pcm the sensor signal is. i doubt that they would remove that one. two of the grounds also head up toward the front of the vehicle perhaps those are the wires that are no longer being used. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving btw it is airtex p/n e7093m tbone fatchance@noway.now schreef in bericht if it is working and your fuel gauge is also operational you should be ok. dont let the pump run dry for long as it is not good for it. the old pump had three independent grounds pins 45and 6and they were probably combined in this newer unit to a single ground. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving do i need all 6 of them i connected this pump with the 6 wire connector and it does run. strange that airtexs site says this pump with 4 wires is for 96 and 97 dodges. http//www.airtexproducts.com/parts/airtex-ecat.html peter tbone fatchance@noway.now schreef in bericht the 97 uses a 6 wire connector. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving i got my new pump but it has only 4 connections i.s.o. 6 i checked the airtex site and this pump should be the pump for my truck. does anyone have had the same problem. what pump should it be then plse help peter dodge ram 1500 v8 96 .
