    Well, after three different sending units and rechecking the wires more times that I can count, I've come to the conclusion that my fuel gauge is bad...

    Is it possible to buy just the fuel and temp gauge to go in the speedo? I tried Krage but didn't see them.

    I looked on line, but didn't see anything...

    Anywhere else to try?

    yes you can buy just the gauges. i got mine at a local jeep auto store (mom and pop) but you may want to get the sending unit with it so you can match them up. my gas gauge sort of works, i never went and bent the float so that it will read right :(

    Tim check for pulsating voltage at the sending unit wire
    if voltage, ground the wire and watch the dash gauge; if good it should move all the way across to the other side
    quick/best way to check IMO
    if no voltage/pulsation, check wiring and then go to the dash/dash gauges
