I have a 93 Dakota, 3.9 auto. Gas guage went a little flaky after a
few years, then I needed a fuel pump at some point. Dealer indicated
he replaced the sender unit in the tank, and my guage worked better,
but eventually just quit working. I have been going by the milage
(odometer) for the past 6 years. Now I'm curious, IF I can assume the
sender is not the problem, is there something else I can look at?? I
certainly don't want to put any real money into this fix, but I may
let my father in law use the truck, and I'd like the guage working. It
just lays flat on empty, never moves, and also the little gas pump
light is on. I guess a bad connection somewhere, but was hoping somone
would have an idea to narrow my search. And I don't want to fiddle
with the tank, thats just to involved. But I may be inclined to remove
the dash face.

Thanks in advance.

If it's the same one in the Ram then the sender is the problem.
It's not difficult to fix but you will need to remove the tank in
order to effect the repair.  The part is available as just the sender
from the dealer so don't let them tell you that you have to buy
the entire assembly.  I think the part was about $40 or so when
I did mine in my Ram.
