So, as an end to my story about this... I got the Pugmire Isuzu dealer to do the repair. I was in at 8am this past Satuday morning and out at 9:15am. Only 1 hour and 15 minutes.
I still have my sending unit that I bought online and came in the mail. If anyone would like to buy it from me before I list it on Ebay, please send me an email...
