Detailed Product Description
The Airtex E7138M fuel pump module assembly is an electric, in-tank pump engineered for precise compatibility with Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks. It features an integrated fuel sending unit to provide accurate fuel level data to the vehicle’s gauge. The module uses a negative ground electrical system and includes a spade terminal type with male terminals and a rectangular connector shape for secure wiring connections. The external strainer inlet and quick connect outlet fittings (3/8 thread size) facilitate efficient fuel filtration and delivery. A gasket is included to maintain a proper seal between the module and the fuel tank, preventing leaks. This assembly does not include a regulator, lock ring, mounting hardware, wiring harness, or fuel tank pressure sensor, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.
