okay, first thanks you guys helped a lot on my last problem, but my fuel gauge does not read at all, I have replaced the sending unit, the truck is set up for two tanks, but I had to remove the selector valve so now all I use is the rear tank. any ideas? I have replaced the frame pump as well and the pressure regulator and fuel filter.

because you disconnected the fuel valve selector your fuel gauge will not work. you will need to jump the wire from gauge to rear tank sending unit. the wire from gauge is yellow/white. you will have to find color of wire at rear tank.
