Ok, fine.. but I also want to replace my fuel sending unit to avoid any possiblity of my fuel gauge quiting a year from now or the wiring completely dry rotting.Question is, can I use a fuel sending unit from a different year truck or even buy one that is designed for the mexico models?  In 96, Motorcraft offers 3 different units depending on if the explorer was a 4 door, a 2 door, or a mexico model?  One difference I see is that the mexico one doesn't have the plastic bucket on it and the others do.  What is the difference between a 4 and 2 door sending unit?</blockquote>
