Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO AND SINCE I HAVE HAD IT I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED 5 TIMES BY A MECHANIC SHOP, COSTING OVER $300 EACH TIME IT WAS DONE. IT WOULD WORK FOR AWHILE THEN QUIT, LEAVING ME STRANDED IN REMOTE AREAS. I USED TO BE A MECHANIC BEFORE A BACK INJURY SO I FINALLY PULLED THE FULL TANK DOWN AND PULLED THE SENDING UNIT OUT. I NOTICED THE GRAY WIRE GOING TO THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP HAS MELTED THE COATING OFF THE WIRE AND IT IS LOOSE. I HAVE ORDERED A COMPLETE SENDING UNIT AND PUMP AND HOPE IT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS COULD BE A VERY BAD FIRE HAZARD IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN TO SHORT OUT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. *JB
