Need a new fuel tank for my 88 ext cab 4x4 it has a side tank on drivers side. Was offered one from a 94 reg cab 4x4 tank on drivers side. will the 94 tank bolt up to the 88 and if so will it work with the dash fuel gauge? I don't really want to drive 75 miles and pull it out and pay to find out it won't work. Does anybody have any experiance in this area? :icon_confused:

I'm not 100 percent sure about the interchangeability of the 88 and 94 mid fuel tanks, but I think they might have changed the tanks sometime in the early 90's. I'd be concerned about the placement of the mounting straps and the alignment of the fill neck. I do know that the voltage's are different on the 88 and 94 sending units, the stock 88 gauge won't work correctly with a 94 sending unit.

No problem, If you can find one for an 86-91 you should be good with the fit and fuel gauge. Good luck.
