Sending Unit
 

Was wondering where the best place to get a sending unit for my 97 12 valve would? I tried the local places like napa, autozone and advanced with no luck and the local dealership wants my first born for one.

hmm, well what sending unit do you need? oil psi? temp? fuel?....if its for oil or temp, just get a mechanical gauge, thats the cheapedt and more accurate way of doing it

yeah what he said. kind of sandbaggin us here buddy.

That would be the fuel sending unit that goes in the tank, the the out line has a crack right at the base of the 90 degree piece of line that comes out. So it sucked air and stalled on me, so i lifted the box off with ratchet straps and the beams in my garage. Seems that no one local is able to get them except dodge.

hummm, you can try ebay, you can try blue chip performance...i'm not much help to you, i would do what your doing and ask around, also see if you can't google it or ask some site sponsers on this site, they can prolly get it for a good deal.....do a "pricw quote on it in that section and see what happens.

dealership shouldnt wat too much for it, i work at 1 so i get em 10% over cost and i got it for 46 bux... ur lookin at maybe 80 for it at the dealership max id think

dont even bother with any of that factory crap. i went threw 4 of them before i gave up. if you dont mind an extra guage use my way. i bought a matching fuel guage of all my other aftermarket guages. go to shucks buy a universal $15 sender. drop your tank and cut a 2" hole at the highest, closets part of the cap and bolt it in. then hook up to your new aftermanket fuel guage. hell its 10 times more accurate than the factory ones

I think i confused u guys, I need the whole sending unit cause the fuel line has a crack in it,there for my truck will not run as it is sucking air. My fuel gauge works fine. Just to let you know i've called the 3 closest dodge dealerships and the prices range from 490 to 550.

oh so you need the fuel canister then, ya them aint cheep.

i have a problem with no fuel being supplied to the engine and my fuel guage is staying on E even with fuel in it. I figured it was my fuel sending unit also. Im trying to figure out if thats what it is.

Junk yard maybe

my truck had the same issue you dont need the whole part its simple get the vulcan draw straw kit worked perfect and less than 75.00 the metal lines your have that is cracked pulls out of the top of the pump from the rubber grommet the vulcan draw straw is an aluminum block that goes in its place that has tube that goes into the bottom of th pump you will have to gut the pump and drill some holes you will have to get rubber fuel line to go from factory lines to the draw straw very easy to install easy to understand directions

I found a place that will sell you the parts .. the unit or rebuild your sender and they are at a much better price than getting a new one .. if they rebuilt it .. they make sure nothing ever goes wrong buy putting a coating on any steel and they do not use any plastic and they first get rid of the problem parts bad or good right off and then make sure the rest is all good or they replace it .. even if it shows a small crack under a scope so I called them and they explained all they do .. and if I send them a new fuel pump like a airdog rapture with the full install kit .. they hook up all the fillings and lines to your measurements and when you install you sensor .. the pump is ready also to just plug in is real busy .. it may take 7 days total to get it all fixed and in your hand
just get hold of Tri Star radiator ... they are in Seneca Falls, NY 13148
