Holy hiccups Batman. $3,000 for fuel sending unit replace
I just read in general discussion the cost for replacing fuel sending unit is $ 3000. I’m hoping we can have a DIY guide to perform this. I would try to do this repair myself if and when I need it.

It's a PITA. Just installed a Fore Innovations dual pump kit in a customer's C6. Between parts and labor it was 5k. C5+ fuel tank design is some of the dumbest crap I have seen in the automotive world.

Then people don’t listen when a credible source says to store the vehicle with 1/4 tank. Live and learn.

Also an A8 is worse than M7. Still have to drop the torque tube down with rear tranny to get the tank cross tube out to drop the tank. I went through all that before I just decided to do a custom low side using a custom pickup tube. Just too much work for me to get a damn fuel pump in. Now if I was changing my clutch then yeah makes more sense.

It's expensive 'cause you gotta drop almost the whole power train to get access (torque tube, tranny, differential and complete rear end cradle......

So if there's a permanent fix by using an aftermarket fuel pump system, we'll be able to pay just once for a fix. Let's hope GM, helps us out on this one, hopefully before ours go out of warranty.
