Both of the tanks in my truck have senders for gasoline fuel systems. I simply purchased without the intank fuel pump, and added a short piece of fuel line and strainer. Gas senders are inexpensive and readily available.

You are buying sending units for a 460 equipped truck I am assuming? Wondered if that would work. The wiring plug doesn't plug in does it?

I purchased new diesel sending units from LMC Truck complete with a new showerhead. Of course they were $150/ea (twice the gas units...).

I have bought three different ones from these guys and all are working great.

I’ve been looking at these same units too. I’ve been running one tank for a year now and it’s only a matter of time until this one poops out as well. I haven’t heard anything bad about them, I’ll probably buy a new tank from them as well with tax return and finally get my front tank back up and running!
How long have they been running in the trucks Shadetree?

Thanx gents, keep it coming...
The ole girl is inside the warm garage waiting.

Btw
The trex website don't list a 93 but like 3 90-91 , betting it's a typo...

My kid gave me a tip, I'll pass along...
To access the senders, pull all 3 driver mounting bolts and loosen up the pass. Side lift drivers side up and block.
(fangers crossed fer you rustbelters)

Yea, instead of unbolting the bed you usually have to grind the bolt heads off. And then sawzall the rest of it off underneath.

I find the front one fairly easy to pull. Drop driveline. And can get right to it. Front tank, rear is different story.
