The flex fuel 3.0 went the way of the dodo bird
All of our 96+ fords have a "miles to empty" setup on the overhead display.
As a mechanic I know fuel pumps are a PITA to replace so I keep my tank well over 1/4 full all the time (fuel cools the pump)
I cannot wait for the new sender unit to get here so I can hack the resistor off the wiring harness and solder it onto the OEM Ford sender
I ordered the cheapest sender and pump I could get, $75!! So I am planning to retain the 1999 Ford sender unit and new Carter pump I just installed
I simply want to install this circuit board and put the bed back on..... then I can finally drive this converted 4.0 truck!
If it is just a resistor, just know it has a power wire going to it. The same red/yellow that powers the anti slosh module and the fuel cap indicator sensors.
The white 99 stepside 5.0 we built when we first moved to Idaho also had this dooo dad on the fuel pump. that truck is still running around town as a daily driver.
If it was still a 3.0 it would have gone to the crusher by now, needed engine and trans
Thanks to the 3.0 I am able to buy more low mile trucks :) People do not change their oil or maintenance their cooling system = more builders for me!
