Yeah, its fine, just harder to get to ****. Just imagine, changing a water pump lol. I hope the water pump doesnt go anytime soon cause thats a good days work right there.

Also I plan on going over to dodgeforums.com and asking this question if i cant figure it out here.

My gas gauge is messed up, it jumps from E- full rapidly, so i never know how much gas I have lol. So I planned on buying an aftermarket fuel gauge with the same Ohm's and **** as the stock one to work. I just need to know where to find the lead. On the fuel tank there is 2 different harnesses coming from it, I need to know which one is the sender. So I plan on running off of that lead to my gauge. Will that work? Can i just wire the gauge up from that and mount it? I dont wanna have to track down that little short in the wiring. I might just rewire everything from the tank to the stock gauge if i can ever figure that cluster out lol.

Im cool with wiring, just not a ****load of wiring

Check to see what wires have resistance. The sender sends out a resistance to the gauge to let it read how much fuel is in the take.

Use a multie meider

That seems confusing. I am not familiar with any of that Ohm's, resistance, etc lol.

How would i test it and where would I test it, and if im not getting anything would it be a bad sender? I doubt its the sender cause the gauge has a short in it somewhere thru the wiring. But if i can test the sender and clear that I can go from there.
