Fuel Gage
I have a fuel gage that I will gladly sell to a Steel Soldiers memeber and I will even ship it for you...
Now as to how I got the gage... I thought mine was bad to following the test per the TM. So I went to my local cucv junkyard and picked one up... still nothing. Still showing way past full all the time...
What I found was following my complete removal of dash, instrument cluster housing replacement (had a broken tab...), replaced al the bulbs on the cluster, and cleaned and DE greased everything... I had somehow 'nicked' the printed circuit and lost continuity between the harness plug (pin #1 I think) and the fuel gage...
so the moral of the store is use your meter (all MV owers have one by law I think) and (with the cluster unpluged) see if you can trace continuity between the gage points of contact and their 'home' position on the plug.
FYI to fix this problem- I built a jumper wire from the gage contact (it was 1 on far Rt side) to the correct position on the wiring harness. Been rigged up like that for a while now... no problems as fuel gae works fine.
If you still need that gage PM me... it is great condition.
Hope this helps... I don't post alot but I work on 2 of these trucks a bunch.
