About Van Expertise I have been maintaining a fleet of approximately 55 light, medium and heavy vehicles for over 20 years. Most are 4X4 pickups and off road fire fighting trucks. Some medium duty trucks. Some military light trucks.
I can answer most questions concerning 4X4 engine, drive line, suspension, electrical, and fuel, both diesel and gasoline. Ford, GM, and Dodge, old and new, but prefferably not newer than 99.
Question 2 weeks ago had fuel sensor placed and ever since car would crank over and over when cold. Took about 4 times before car would turn over. Then over weekend car just would not start. Dealership is now telling us our niece needs a fuel pump. The fuel tank had to be removed to replace the fuel sensor correct? is there a possibility the fuel pump was damaged by dealer when replacing fuel sensor? Just paid them $762.00 and now they want $824.00 plus tax to replace fuel pump. Please advise. Thank you.
Answer Hi Robin,
Sure, it is possible.
It amazes me they didn't suggest replacement of the pump while it was out.
As a matter of fact, they normally replace the sender and pump as a unit. Ask them if they didn't.
It is also possible the ground wire didn't get reconnected properly.
