    Help me figure out my fuel pump, tank and line situation.

    Okay, here's what I have to work with... rusty as hell. For the record, it's a 6.0L from a 2001 1500HD going into a 1994 Chevy Cheyenne 2500 4wd with a 4l80e.



    What I am wondering is:

    a) do I need to find and use a new stock sending unit OR can I find and use something different.

    b) I know I need a high flow fuel pump (as described in many other threads) but if I don't reuse this type of stock sending unit, what other options might there be.

    c) a fuel cell or a new stock tank?

    d) what should I do about lines? the stock lines ripped apart as I was removing the engine and trans and split right near the filter in the frame rail.

    Thanks!

    You could get a fuel cell with an inline walbro if you wanted. But fabrication to get it to fit would be a necessity

    Man, is that truck rusted! Your putting new power in that truck? To answer your question about the tank & sender...I would buy & install new, stock pieces. LMCTruck & others sell what you need. Personally, I would just sell a truck that was that rusted though. Just me.

    Its a 15 year old plow truck from upstate NY... What do you expect?
    Besides, I want to keep it for sentimental reasons and if I were to sell it I'd get prolly $1500 with the plow and then spend $5k min to replace it. Makes more sense to extend its life to me. Just me.

    You're right tho will prolly just repl with stock components except fuel pumperino.
