What you guys think???
Hey,
I finally got tired of trying having to guess how much gas I had left in my tank because the gas gauge was stuck on full, so I took it in.
The repair shop said its a faulty sender and it'll be like $380 to drop the tank and replace it. (apparently, they diagnosed the problem without taking down the tank?)
Anyway, there was a delay in getting the part, so they are going to install it tomorrow. BUT, they also suggested since the truck is a 2000 with over 105000 mi on it that is would be wise to also replace the pump since there wouldn't be much additional labor. But they want an extra $200 for that.
I said no, but I wanted to know what y'all think while there is still some time to have them do it if it might be a good idea.
Thanks,
Isaac

I think there may be some confusion between the fuel pump and fuel sender. The fuel pump is indeed mounted into top of fuel tank thus requiring it to be dropped for replacement. No better time than now IMHO.
