Thanks for the reply's guys. My son crawled under there and found the electrical plug not quiet snapped in. He took alcohol and cleaned the plug and reconnected and it hasn't faulted again, yet. But I do believe time is short for it. Looking at what is involved though I believe dropping the tank will be the best route as it will be only my son and I working on it. Well off to get wheels and tires. Going with a set of TKO's. I'll post pics in the pic thread later today. It's my first big upgrade to the truck since I got it. Cheers, Mike.

I pulled the bed when I Did my first gens fuel pump. I was the only one working on it but after I had everything unbolt, unplugged and the fuel filler neck out of the way I offered 3 neighbors a beer to help me lift it and set it to the side. My tank was at 3/4 though and my pump was done for. And didn't want to spill a bunch of gas. Good luck.

Well after further examination I have found that pulling the bed would do no good. The sending/fuel pump unit is actually located under the cab, under that back seat of the cab of the truck. And we looked and there is no trap door to give access to the unit. So on the Quad cab the tank has to be dropped. Bummer!

I thought about that Ken but I really don't want to break the integrity of the cab of the vehicle. I'm afraid of not getting a clean cut done and rust developing. After my son crawled under the truck and unpluged the cable, cleaned it with alcohol and plugged it back in it's been working. Plus I've been running Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel and maybe that helped, but it was probably the plug. My son said he didn't think it was plugged in all the way. Now my oil pressure sending unit is faulting and on cold mornings will come on at crank up. After a few minutes I can turn it off and restart and it goes out so I'll pick one up at Advance tomorrow and install it. Thanks for all the imput men, it's nice to know there are other Dodge Dakota owners out there that care. Cheers, Mike.
