#5 of 25 Re: Faulty part [jonnyring] by adjuster1 Jun 12, 2007 (10:41 am)
Replying to: jonnyring (Nov 17, 2006 3:19 pm) Okay, how do you replace the fuel sending sensor? I have had this problem on our 1997 Chev Blazer, 1998 GMC Jimmy and our 2000 GMC Envoy. Each time we have a transmission worked on, it screws up the gauge. I spent $400 + to repair the Blazer and will not do that again. No we just check th odometer and get a fill up every 200 miles. It would be nice to repair myself.   But How?   Thanks, Gary Powhatan, VA Replies to this message: jonnyring (Jun 12, 2007 5:05 pm) owngm (Jan 26, 2008 1:21 pm) jonnyring (Jan 26, 2008 2:22 pm)

Replying to: adjuster1 (Jun 12, 2007 10:41 am) First order the sender (it attaches to the pump inside the tank. On my 200 Envoy..I drove the driver's side of the car up on ramps (as the fuel tank is located on the driver's side inside the frame rail. It's best if there is NO FUEL in the tank!!! 2 metal straps hole it up in place. Spray the thread with PB Blaster for 1/2 a day to soak (one of mine **SNAPPED** and I had to mod./fab. another strap.) Slowly drop the tank, cutting any wires ties holding the fuel lines/wires to the frame....along with unclamoing fuel fill/vents and pulling off. Once you get 'er down...unhook hoses/wires and slide it out. Now remove the pump/sender pickup unit from the tank. Remove the faulty sender and install the new...bunch of funky clips and wires that unplug. Reinstall. Reverse prosess of tank, using a floor jack and /or 5 gal. buckets/blocks of wood too support it until you can get the straps started to thread. My tank was plastic & empty of fuel, but it still was a PITA! I saved $600+ doing it myself. good luck and report back with your success. jonny 8-)

Replying to: jonnyring (Sep 24, 2006 4:58 am) I was wondering if you ever got the problem taken care of. I am in the process of sewing GM but am interested in starting a class action suit which only takes two people. Please email me back and let me know.

Replying to: toyia1 (Nov 21, 2007 7:52 am) Ayup.  GM knows...there was a TSB but not a recall 'cause it was NOT a "safety issue". I STRONLY DISAGREE!!! When my wife is stranded on the interstate up against a "Jersey Barrier" (in the fast lane)during rush hour traffic it IS a "SAFETY ISSUE"!!! >8-(     I replaced it myself. Found the sensor online for $68 when all the STEELerships wanted $130. One STEELership lied to me and told me I had to buy the whole pump/sensor unit $580!!!!! I NEVER bring my cars to STEELerships!!! I do all my own work on my 12 vehicles. What your email?? I'm pissed as hell GM for not repairing this under a TSB warranty! j.foster62juno.com

Replying to: toyia1 (Nov 21, 2007 7:52 am) I have had one replaced under warr on our 2005 and just had to pay for the one to get fixed on our 2006. The 2005 gauge is having issues again and now out of warr. Where do I sign up? Replies to this message: jonnyring (Dec 06, 2007 12:47 pm)
