I think at ford when I went in to get mine they called it a"fuel switch" but they should be able to find you a new one regardless of the name,

hay neal nice IG pipes! where did you get them?

i noticed yesterday that the wire that comes off mine looks a little melted. i dunno if it is from engine heat or some sorta electrical short.

1/8 in pipe plug and be done with it. All it does is alert you if the fuel filter is clogged.

Oh I understand now. That pic is from tjbeggs' truck. I don't have my I-C in yet. Sorry I was confused. I thought you were talking I-C but I don't have mine in yet.
