Its on a 96 Dodge Ram with the 5.9 360. I can only find a whole new fuel pump with the sending unit. Any advice??

You are SOL. Either buy the new entire fuel pump assembly, install an aftermarket gauge, or live without the gauge. I would leave it alone and use your odometer as a gas indicator!

It is crazy hard to figure mileage using the odometer when there is a 360 under thee hood because if you just punch it one you lose like 3 mpg lol i know because my truck has the 5.9 in it and i have not gas gauge either! lol once i 36.5 miles out of exactly 5 gallons
