I put a fuel gauge sender from a 1992 pickup into my 1987 pickup yesterday

got mine at the junk yard for $14.

Some people try to sell these fuel senders on ebay for $100 or $150 sometimes, there is a ebay seller selling these senders new oem from toyota dealership for $90.

there's two senders sr5 and non sr5, the sr5 has one more wire on the plug, and it has a low fuel light.

if you have a non-sr5(no low fuel light) this will work for you http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyot...item5645e658e4
or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1987-...item2313e569ca

if you have an sr5 with low fuel light,
