Useless anyways I found a brand new airtex for $60.68 shipped. My local Autozone has the Spectra brand of straps for $22.99. So that will be the way I will probably go. Anyone know anything about the Airtex pumps?

nice just to let you know check your local advanced auto there having an online sale if you buy it online and its over 100 bucks you get 15% off and a 50 dollar coupon off the next 100 bucks or more it works good if you chose the pick up in store.

I found this one man http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

This guy has 100% feedback. I do not know though would really like some input from some people that have had to do this before. No offense bro, and I value your opinion above many here but maybe someone has had to do this and some insight to it.

All I can say is the PO had put a 38 gal Spectra tank in the rear, it is a metal tank. I dropped it to replace the pump and the sender. Well, there was no sender in it, so I had to get a new sender and an extension kit from Spectra which really just extends the pump to the bottom of the tank. It does nothing for the sender so it will read full a long time but get accurate when it gets empty.

Overall the tank was a good quality unit that I was happy with and made in Canada.

As far as the intank pumps, there are so many that I couldn't decide, so I went with the Carters only because they proudly display the Made In USA stamp. I bought them online for 50 a piece. NAPA sells them as Federal Mogul for alot more if you need it now. I have no idea about their reliability. I just put them in last month and the truck still sits in the driveway as Im working on other issues to finally be able to get it to pass inspection. (Trying to resolve a DTC 31) then its on to speedo and lights.

I think you may have the wrong thread man. Collector's thread about the 38 gallon tank in down further bro.
