I have a 2014 Ram 1500 with just under 60k miles on it. A couple weeks ago the check engine light came on, followed by a Fuel Sensor Fail warning. Took it into the shop today and they quoted me $1,200 to replace the fuel pump.
I've read other threads on here where guys just fill up their tank, reset their trip odometer, and watch that to know when to fill again. That's what I've been doing and don't mind continuing to do it. It's been driving fine, even towed with it up and down a mountain last week with no issues.
My question is: will there eventually be a mechanical failure with this? Or will it always just be the sensor?
For those who have this problem and haven't fixed it, how long have you gone without a fuel gauge, with no other fuel related mechanical failures?
For those who have fixed it, is there an upgraded part out there that prevents this from happening again someday?
I'd rather not spend the $1,200 if I don't need to at the moment, but also don't want to set myself up for a bigger bill in the future. Thanks!
