I torn out my interior on my Transtar last night to get around to fixing the Fuel Sender and to clean the Seats and Carpeting. The gas gauge seem to work. . . When I start the truck the needle quickly moves from empty to Full and pegsout at Full and sticks. I have to rap on the glass to get it to empty again once I turn off the truck. . . it does not mover if I simple just turn the swtch to on. I will be removing the sender tonight but I really don't know what I looking for to make this unit work. . . I'm confused about a single wire going from the fuel guage to the sender and that's it. . . I have a hot wire running from my switch to the gauge and then on the other pole of the gauge it runs to the sender. I don't understand how it works from there. What I do have is another sending unit (which I hope is not bad from Lloyd truck) that I can test with . . . is there something I should know about these units?
