Can I use the OEM Dakota fuel pump?

why can’t he connect his gas gauge sender wire to the sender terminal on the fuel pump?

He can but might need that device that matches the fuel sender to the the gauge ohms.
Meter Match I think it's called.


Well, like I said if my car were here, I'd be glad to post a pic. But, its in jail at the body shop getting painted with no release date.

My fuel cell is 20gal and located in the trunk. Viewed from the top, a hole was cut out in the left corner, sealant applied and pump dropped in. The fuel line comes out the top, makes a 90* bend and through the trunk floor.

It looks very simple to mount, easy access to remove if needed. At least when the cell is in the trunk.

I will try to get a photo and provide an update when my car gets paroled. I hope this helps you out.

I might add that I'm running fuel injection with my 5.9, so I'm assuming you are as well with this pump. Otherwise I think you need an inline pump with a lower pressure rating. Maybe someone else can clarify that for us, but I think these are high pressure pumps designed for fuel injection.

They are high pressure pumps for EFI, and the Dakota pump should be the same as your 5.9 used in the first place.
