Re: My swap. 5.3 into a 1990 3/4 ton 4x4 Suburban.

The VDO sender does not work with the stock gauge. Im doing it the "smart" way now with a stock sender for the burb thats turned down to the 12x1.5 thread to thread right into the head. Its pretty popular and a friend has done one also with no problems. The sweet thing is that because its brass, and therefore soft, you can chuck it up in your cordless drill and use a file to turn down the outside until its the right size to run the die over it.
