Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The fuel gauge stopped working on my 1994 Dakota over a year ago and began using the trip odometer to track fuel. When I finally got some time I tracked the issue down to the sending unit so I purchased a new sending unit from the Dodge dealer, dropped the tank, installed the sending unit, gauge worked for only 2 tankfulls then quit again. I thought maybe it was an intermittent short in the wiring or the gauge itself so spent many hours checking & rechecking but everything pointed back to the sending unit again. This time I decided that if I was dropping the tank again I was going to also replace the fuel pump since the truck has almost 90K miles on it (yes, very low documented miles). So, I purchased this Bosch even though it was the most expensive as the reviews for the AirTex and other pumps were not all that good and I only wanted to do this one more time. THE BEST DECISION I MADE!!!! The gauge has been working for almost 2 months and is extremely accurate.
While I had the tank dropped I did a little analysis of the sending unit I got from the Dodge dealer and it is, by far, a lot cheaper made product than the sending unit on the Bosch fuel pump. The float & float arm was extremely loose and the contacts were not tight which created a lose in signal. When I hooked up the Bosch I tried to get it to lose signal and it wouldn't as it was a tight sending unit in every aspect.
Bosch may be more expensive but they do pay dividends in not having to redo prior work due to poor workmanship.
