Rear tank sending unit

For anyone looking for one of these... I finally found one a few weeks ago and got to installing it tonight. Works perfectly, but we'll see how well it does over the next couple weeks. I searched high and low forever trying to find one.

How did your rear tank unit work? Any trouble?

I bought one of those. Seems to fit okay. Can't speak otherwise. Hasn't had fuel in it yet... but soon I hope.

So far it's working great. I filled the truck up last night and it shows full as it should. I'll have to do some driving and make sure its not sticking there

Update: so far it's still working perfect with no issues.

Thanks for this info. Bought my '86 last year. Rear sending-unit's never worked. Thought that it was left-over project from major motor rebuild from previous owner. Left several things not working. Nothing major, but annoyances. No horn(need something that will peel paint), electric door locks, AC(in Florida, this IS major, lol). Getting the truck ready to pull 5-th wheel for travel after January '17, so got to get busy.

My second diesel, but first 4-spd and 4wd. Any and all advice for preps gratefully accepted. What to look for, look at, etc.

Replaced front rotors, pads, calipers, and hoses just this week. Looking at prices on rears today.

Thanks.
Be safe.
