tanks will not switch

Ok, so i previously posted about my truck not working... turns out that the truck is only running on the fron tank and it had run out of gas. So it makes no difference what position the switch is in(i know for sure that the rear tank is full to the top). Does anybody either know how to fix the switch, know an alternative to the switch (besides a syphon), or can anybody get me a cheap switch(i hear they are exspensive) thank you for your time and help! - Stuart

first i would check that the switch on the dash is working, and that connections and wiring is good since it will be chaeper to fix or replace.

my truck has a similar problem, but only every now and then. i got a used switch out of a truck me and my dad tore apart for parts, but i would think that a good napa guy could get you one, i don't think its even possible to open one up...
