You can't just buy the sending unit. The sending unit is part of the fuel pump. Cost is about 400 dollars.

people belive this because the dealer tells them that BS. they do sell it separtly $122u.s. last one i bought. i don't know why but it can be hard to find a dealer to admit it. here's one that will. Sapaugh Chevrolet 636-931-0055 i know this is not local too most of you but getting a part # is the main battle.

Well, when I did a fuel pump for a friend last year, I got a complete AC delco assembly for $160 (sending unit and fuel pump) from the local Mom and Pop auto parts store. When the weather starts to get a little warmer out, I plan on replacing both. Because you KNOW if I were only to do the sending unit, the fuel pump would die a few weeks later, just to spite me!!!!

i replaced the sending unit only in mine 80,000mi ago. GM pumps hold up pretty good if you fill up at a 1\4 tank.

first i would take it to the local Chevy dealer low on gas. as low as you feel safe. then have them replace the dash. since they have that nice bulletin out. then on the way home i would fill a gas can just in case you run out. keeping in mind you will need to lift the tank with gas in it. changing the fule pump will be fun after a brand spanking new dash.
