gas ground
OK was at junkyard Sunday and someone picked up on the bed of this one...my question is, is this wire on the frame a ground for the sender to make the gas gauge work properly. Thanks.

Re: gas ground
Only the right side seems to have it...which one is the main tank, left or right? Thanks.

Re: gas ground
Yes. The other tank will have a ground on the side of the frame rail, as I recall - at least it is not on the top.

Re: gas ground
it appears to be the wire should go to a male clip on the top of the float assembly . these often become loose or get crud on them causing reading issues on the guage

But for 1981-up, the standard tank was moved over to the left side. Making the right side the auxiliary tank on dual tank trucks. |
