  1. That answers 1 question. Now what about the rest? Thanks
  2. I ordered the Daniel Stern rik-ram kit, and am trying to install it today, but I'm now too confused after reading so meany threads on so many forums. Question no. 1. The DS upgraded wiring schematic shows a general one with truck with only 1 battery. Shouldn't I use both batteries? My Rik-ram kit came with a bag o parts. 3 relays not 4 like other homemade kits. 2. Is my truck a ground switching system or not? (I pull the knob out to turn my lights on). If yes/no, do I still follow that schematic? 3. Do you know/have any pictures of a built harness that I can follow? I would really appreciate a "Chinese Blueprint". Pictures go a long way for this guy... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
  3. I've always watched my gas mileage on all my cars so I have an idea of my range. But this truck is the first I've had where there are multiple misleading things. One, I don't know how many gallons my tank is 30/34. Two, I have 285 tires, so I know my speedo is off by about 6mph at 60. Three, I'm not sure of the range of the truck. It goes from F to E in about 270 miles by the trip meter. So I want it to work.
  4. Thanks for your reply guys. Yes I have the float on the sender, not pictured. I did that fix where you add a washer to the arm, and bend the contacts a bit. Not sure if I fixed it. I reinstalled the tank and am driving the truck today. I put my multimeter on the sender and checked the resistance. Don't know if I did it right. I think the meter read 40 ohms in full position, and it increased to like 200 by the time it got to empty. Don't know if that's right. I may have screwed it up. I'll see what she reads in a few hundred miles
  5. Hi guys. First post, been lurking for a while. My truck had the fuel gauge issue that reads empty when there's actually still a half tank. Anyway, last night I dropped my tank and pulled the unit out. Here are the issues I noticed. First, when I disconnected the lines, I noticed the vacuum nozzle had nothing going to it. Is that normal? Second, there is another nipple that is capped off. <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Flo22/media/Car%20Stuff/8844B518-D38B-4D60-98C3-4E74AD27EBB5_zpsdplbblrv.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Flo22/Car%20Stuff/8844B518-D38B-4D60-98C3-4E74AD27EBB5_zpsdplbblrv.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 8844B518-D38B-4D60-98C3-4E74AD27EBB5_zpsdplbblrv.jpg"></a> And the third issue is, the screws that hold the metal slide on the pump body, seem to have vibrated their way through the metal. How bad is this? And what will it affect? I added some washers in the pictures, but it didn't slide up and down that freely. <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Flo22/media/Car%20Stuff/91DB421B-7893-4F63-894D-7643F942B850_zps0o3foz0v.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Flo22/Car%20Stuff/91DB421B-7893-4F63-894D-7643F942B850_zps0o3foz0v.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 91DB421B-7893-4F63-894D-7643F942B850_zps0o3foz0v.jpg"></a> and I cannot figure out how to post pictures in here. Sorry. I tried posting directly from my phone, and I got an error message, and I tried uploading via photobucket both IMG and HTML. And still nothing. I'm stumped Pictures worked on CF http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/98-5-02-powertrain/2196442-fuel-sender-fix-issues.html#post25501234
