ok guys i need some help bad. do to a bad fuel gauge. i dropped the tank and replaced the old sending unit with a new one. went to a job. did my 8 hours and left. as i was leaving the drive way my truck just dies. first time doing this. i noticed the fuse 22 was out. replaced it and went on my way. i was headed to a friends shop and as i pulled in the drive way. truck dies again. so i was talking to my buddies and they said i prob have a pinched wire. so i chased the wires back to the fuel sending unit and everything looks good. even took the loom off and inspected the wires. i even dropped the tank again just to make sure i didn't pinch any wires. so i got the truck running while shaking the crap out of the wire loom and i cant get the fuse to blow. drove it today for a little bit and surprise. it died.i even jiggled wires under the hood while it was driving. replaced the fuse and now its at home. any help would be great.
