Hey everyone, I'm looking for recommendations on manufacturers for a replacement fuel sender for my 1986 Jimmy. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Not something that’s really seen as better or more reliable from one distributor to another as far as I know. And they’re probably all mfg by only a couple mfgs.
If old one is broke, new one will fix the problem. Order based on price or free shipping or ease of combining with other items IMO.
My 86 has 1 new(er) 1 old maybe original. The 77 has 2 new if I believe the receipt from previous owner and based on the shop, they were probably bought from O Really’s or Vato zone. All the newer ones are 4-5 years old and work fine.

Mine uses 3 port sending units and I got them from Autozone. Only the larger store carried them for our trucks (I think it’s is also a regional distribution point), so I had to drive a few miles, but otherwise no issue.

I've used our AMD ones several times, they're good pieces
