Does anyone know if the fuel gauge sender is like the Cummins version? May even a lead on where to get one for a good price? I've got a bad spot in the sender up near the 7/8 of a tank where the gauge drops to empty and then at about 3/4 of tank it pops back up and works again...

Don't know if these are good prices but might be worth a look. http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/1996/dodge/ram_1500/fuel_delivery/fuel_pump.html

I dont know if you uy from ebay or not but I found a new mopar unit from this seller and I thought the price was good compared to others I had seen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Dodge-Ram-Truck-Fuel-Gas-Petro-Gauge-Tank-Sending-Unit-Float-1994-1997-Mopar-/140729332097?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ADodge&hash=item20c41f3181
