When the sending unit is placed at full it shows 3/4 on the gauge, when you place the sending unit at 1/2 the gauge shows a little less then 1/4. When you place the sending unit at 1/4 the gauge shows empty. I have a good ground. Thank you

I stick with originals whenever possible, been there with the new cheaper ones and not worth the hassle. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram

I replaced the tank with a cell and install a new aftermarket 73-10 sending unit. also had the same problem when I had the original sending unit. I replaced the original sending unit with a aftermarket and had the same readings. I have had three different sending units and all 3 read the same. Last edited by fastcoronet; 03/19/14 10:18 PM.

What would be good to do is check all those sending units with a known good gauge. Last edited by amxautox; 03/19/14 10:22 PM.
