You aren't towing with the overdrive on are you? When you dropped the pan what did the fluid look like?
Fluid was cherry red, no metal shavings or anything even the magnet was pretty darn clean, had a very minuet bit of sludge nothing to write home about.....No, I am not towing in OD.
I bit of stuff down there doesn't surprise me, as the PCV will let some in, need to look toward the back of the plenum, see if there is any oil there.
Fuel Pump purchased was a Delphi...When I pulled it out the float was completely filled with fuel. When I squeezed the float you could see fuel squirting out along the edges of the seam of the float. Unable to find just the float, I am forced to purchase a new fuel level sending unit with new float attached. I also connected the pump up outside and moved the leveling arm up and down and the gauge worked as expected. Ok, Dumb question, is the float suppose to be able to hold fuel and still work appropriately, I would think not.

Nope. When it fills with fuel, it stops being a 'float' and becomes a 'sink'..... That should be a warranty issue, if you have any warranty left on it.
Well, got gas gage working again....replaced float...cost me 73$ bucks had to buy level sending unit, but all I did was replace float off new part to current part
That should be a warranty issue, if you have any warranty left on it.
