Sending Units

Anyone have any experience with sending units? Appearently the only thing holding up my truck is the wireing harness for the sending unit. We ordered two new ones from ford. They failed to send the right connectors for it. Now my guys are having trouble tracking it down as the Ford only had a few of this style sending unit.

Just trying to get educated as to what's happening, is this a rare part? why can't they use the wireing harness off the old sending unit?

Can you describe the part?
Don't really know what a "sending unit" is.

Cause most likely the sent one for a gas truck order one for a 1996. In 97 ford made two F250 your truck and the other is a beefed up F150 witha 5.4 in it

They sent it without the wiring harness. Apparently have to get it shipped out of Hawaii. Hope that can get overnighted

There's at least half a dozen different "sending units" on these trucks.

Which one do you need the wiring for?
