) shows different part numbers for diesel sending units, as opposed to gassers. The catalog also states that the senders are engine specific: 6.9 senders are not the same part number as 7.3's. The senders from 1988 and later are different part numbers than the 1987 and earlier senders. I'm just the messenger, typing what the parts catalog states. I've been retired for 10 years, so I haven't seen any senders since 1997.

Well, if I remember correctly, the diesels have a fuel return, so that might be an extra pipe on the sender that the regular carb units don't have. The fuel injected senders have a return pipe, but they usually have a pump in there too.
Also somewhere in the late eighties they changed the sender ohm value, so that is going to create a whole new set of part numbers.
