[I stopped back by the dealer today and talked to a different parts guy and sure enough they'd sold be the wrong part. The correct p/n should've been P/N 8-25232-012-0 (vesus P/N 8-25232-011-0). But since what I'd done seemed to be working I didn't want to pull the tank again. Price was $63 plus tax....... Seemed pretty expensive for a small piece of plastic and copper wire..........]
well maybe it's not so much isuzu as the parts guy. i doubt that you got the right part, considering the extensive modifications you had to do.
in my experience, isuzu parts listings/illustrations are not the easiest to follow. model, year, and updated substitutions are not always clearly obvious. the parts guy has to be very knowledgeable and/or on his toes.
i've caught many an impending error by looking at the screen over their shoulders and paying special attention to notations of model-year application.
for the future, of course, make sure you bring your vin and manufacture date, and ask to see the parts illustration screen to double-check the guy. and make sure your vehicle info is on the parts invoice so if there's a problem the responsibility is clear.
or...order from merlin at st.charles isuzu and/or JLEMOND. both ought to know the little differences like this. . .
btw, $60 sounds like an error. . .i didn't think isuzu sold anything that cheap
