    Fuel Gauge Malfunction After Aux Fuel System Kit Installation M1035A2

    Update: I believe the solenoid operated tank switching valve is working correctly. This is because I ran the aux tank dry (sitting in traffic, of course). I then cursed, prayed a lot, switched to the main tank, and cranked the starter for what seemed waaaay too long, and the truck fired up...

    Fuel Gauge Malfunction After Aux Fuel System Kit Installation M1035A2

    Hi There! The installation instructions say that the bumper is required, but not included. The bumper is the stock airlift bumper. The kit does include inner and outer bumper reinforcements, and inner and outer mounting brackets, so it looks a tad different when installed. The inners allow...

    Fuel Gauge Malfunction After Aux Fuel System Kit Installation M1035A2

    Hi Mogman, I agree it seems like it shouldn't matter regarding the leads. I didn't change anything electrical, other than adding the tach kit. I made sure all the wiring and connections were correct per the directions. There are no schematics involved in what I did. Just the installation...

    Fuel Gauge Malfunction After Aux Fuel System Kit Installation M1035A2

    New info: 1. All electrical connections triple-checked and verified correct per instructions. 2. With the tanks completely full, the gauges both read empty. It’s as if the gauge is upside down. Very little in each tank pegged the gauge to its limits below empty or above full, based on switch...

    Fuel Gauge Malfunction After Aux Fuel System Kit Installation M1035A2

    Thanks for the reply! Great. You mean the solenoid operated selector valve? Sounds expensive, and sounds like a PIA to swap. I’ll see if I can figure out whether or not it’s working. Please elaborate on its known issues. You have any good links for more info? The fuel gauge needle moves from...

    Fuel Gauge Malfunction After Aux Fuel System Kit Installation M1035A2

    Thanks, Mogman. I still have to verify the remaining electrical connections. Assuming they're all correct per the instructions, I was wondering whether or not I should just fill both tanks and see what happens. Maybe they need to "feel full" to properly calibrate. That seems like magic to...

    Fuel Gauge Malfunction After Aux Fuel System Kit Installation M1035A2

    Hi All, i just installed the Aux Fuel System Kit on my 2001 M1035A2. I also installed the tachometer kit, since the batteries were disconnected. The truck seems to run fine on both tanks, with no leaks. That is, the truck runs fine with the selector switch in Main and in Aux. i'm not sure...
