i am havin hell finding a 1989 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat fuel tank sending unit for front and rear is there any one that can help me with this
I recently bought a 89 crew cab after some reading and research found that there is a filter head on the pickup tube which is made of plastic, most call it a shower head because that's what it looks like.. I went to Trexautoparts.com out of Iowa, they have the sending units for the mid or aft tank and the rear, I opted to not get the shower heads instead went with copper 3/8 tube and compression fittings.. I still have to do my back tank.. at least the front tank is working correctly but now if I flip the switch to rear tank it goes past full and its bone dry lol.. good luck hope this helpsI have a 1988 F-250 7.3 IDI Diesel standard transmission standard cab 4x4 XLT Lariat edition. The fuel pick-ups in both tanks seem to work fine (I can use full capacity of the tanks) but the sending units in both tanks are erratic. Front tank shows full until down to about 1/4 tank or less at which time the gauge starts working.
Rear tank starts dropping appropriately but makes its way to empty well before the tank is actually empty.
I am pretty sure this pickup is all original at this point. Can someone give me correct part numbers for EACH sending unit for each of the two fuel tanks?
Thanks,
