Yeah Jose & Aaron, unbelievable!! 101 pages and 23 thousand views, I had no idea of what I was starting. Great help from a lot of people.
Aaron, I didn't have to ground it, I just pluged it in and layed a rag there to help me adjust it and hold the float arm and it registered just fine on the gauge. It was really slow but would settle about where I had the float arm So it ohmed good and Nate's suggestion worked out good, saves me over $100. Tomorrow I should have my parts and put it back in.

I got my retainer ring, gasket and float today and put it in. Went and put five gallons in it and the gauge came up to almost 1/4. I didn't want to put to much in it incase I have to drop it again. I'll probably put another five in it and see if its 1/2, then just fill it up.

you might want to measure the resistance at the guage if you still have issues. Could also be a bad connection or ground somewhere along the wiring.

Thanks Aaron, its guys like you that have inspired me. My wife and I are getting tired of this RVing stuff but first started out six years ago just to have a place to live in. My brother passed away and his house, being a bachelor, was horrible. My wife stepped into it and turned around and walked out. No motels for us so we got a 5er. We still go to Detroit and am taking care of some of his shi! This forum keeps me moving down the road, don't know what I would do without it.

If it weren't for FTE and some of the great friends I've made here, I would have a stock gas truck probably.... On that same note though, if it weren't for FTE, my gas truck would probably have a stock engine and would be running right now! Lol

ahhh running is overratted. Besides once you drive that 408 you wont look back. Someday I will tell you about the 418 that tried to kill me last year.
AND this stuff is just TOOO MUCH FUN!!!!
