This is hands down THE best instructional on Fuel Gauge and Sender issues on YouTube. I've watched dozens that don't get anywhere near the clarity and detail that this offers. This doesn't just apply to trucks but explains everything I needed to know for my Mopar gauge issues. You're a legend Kevin ... you should put out a series of instructional videos on Automotive Engineering ... there is a massive audience for it.

This guy is probably one of the coolest. He actually teaches you instead of act arrogant like some other mechanics.

I can’t believe the timing of this video popping up.
I’m trouble shooting my 1991 B300 Dodge van fuel system today.
Perfect timing Thanks!

Kevin Tetz is the best lol. I've loved this dudes videos for years

[philup]

By far the best diagnosis of this system, dude is a wealth of knowledge

I really appreciate these videos. Very informative, well structured, and incredibly helpful. I was very intimidated by the idea of replacing my bad sending unit until I found this. Now I know that I can handle this job myself next weekend instead of paying a shop and waiting forever for them to get to it. These videos have made me a diehard LMC customer.

Kevin. Your the truth man! Finally someone who knows how to explain stuff and does it well. Thank you for all you do bro

[jasonmiller]

Great video and great instructional delivery - clear, concise, well structured. Can't imagine why ANYONE would have given it a thumbs-down. Thanks for taking the time to create this video - very helpful!

Just when you think everything is right...surprise! Prepping for a car show and noticed the needle on my TA's gas gauge did not move and was buried at the 4 o'clock position (past full) when the engine was started. In the off position it is in the same place. Need to pull out the old Pontiac Service Manual and review along with this video. Electrical is not my favorite problem to figure out. Sometimes I wish a BIG hammer would work...it doesn't. Thank's Kevin for another great video.

Thankyou! I am getting ready to take on this job myself.. I replaced my gauge cluster when we restored the truck, but never replaced the sending unit in the tank. My gauge work fine for 3 years, but now stays on 1/4 tank.

Glad to see Kevin Tetz on this video. I used to watch him on PowerNation. I have an erratic fuel gauge on my 1985 F150 in which one day it will work okay and the next day the gauge may not work. Looks like I need to check my wiring and maybe clean up the grounding point.

This video is helpful to me, I have a 1971 Chevrolet C-10 that I'm restoring to original and starting to see people getting their 1967-1972 Chevy/GMC trucks running again. Keep loading up and making more videos about these classic trucks, I know I'll be ordering some stuff from LMC Truck real soon. Good video 👍🇺🇸..

Awesome video. The only part not included is tracing the two wires back up thru the printed circuit thru the harness into the panel and wherever

[robertelizondo]

Thanks a lot! that was very informative, and your style is easy to follow!

Cool tool and that is the best glass cleaner

[cvcoco]

One more thing, the float sensor can be serviced in many cases. The arm cover should be able to come off and inside that box there can be rust or corrosion or something that obstructed sensing by the potentiometer or smooth travel of the arm. Clean it all up and try it. It might need sanding, contact cleaner, you'll see what it needs.

Wonderful video. Very well demonstrated and clearly explained. Thank you!

[Wrenchen-with-Darren]

Great video, this has been a topic of discussion many times at my shop. Thank you for the info. 👍

[popgoestheweasel]

Is it ever recommended or needed to replace the gas tank? Nicely done video! Thanx for your efforts…❤
