Well, I got the floats from jeephut yesterday and they were a perfect fit. They seem well made of a heavy plastic. Both gauges now work. I think I may just order one extra for on down the road just in case one fails in a few years. Jim

As for the floats. Couldn't find any on MV websites and looked at all the classifieds on here. Found brass ones at Summit for 6 something each for a mustang and the plastic ones at jeephut.com for $3.20 each for '55 - '86 CJs. Looks like the same thing as what's in my 5 ton. Plastic is what I...

Glassk: I thought only those currently in the military were to do that. I'm just an old washed up number now.

Well, I ordered a new tank selector switch and gauge. Let's see how that goes. Hope to learn something from using the voltmeter after the gauge install and will share the results and voltage from the gauge to the sending unit. With the reputation these trucks have on fuel gauges not working, it...

So you're saying it should be 24v and not the 5v I get going to wire 28 (left tank)? So is this a faulty guage? I know half of the switch isn't working with the continuity test as I flipped the switch.

Checked all the grounds with continuity tester and the sending units and the gauge is grounded. I was gonna throw that in the first post but forgot. Thanks though. When I first got the truck I thought that would no doubt be the issue and to my credit card's demise, it isn't.

First post here. Just got a new truck and working on issues before title arrives in months! I know, this again! Read the TM and searched this forum over and nowhere is it explained very clearly how to step by step troubleshoot this evil gremlin. The TM mentions that battery voltage should be...
