Did you check to make sure that you indexed the replacement pump correctly? If you don't your guage will be off. You could also have a bad connection or ground.

I had a problem with my 95 Dakota gas gauge. At
first I thought it was the tank sensor but
after changing it, no difference. I took apart
the dash and could find nothing wrong. I found
some loose grounds and that still didn't fix
the problem. So I began to look for electrical
problems in the wires. On the 95 Dakota, the
brake light has a middle brake light in the
tail gate. That electrical connection over time
would get caught between the body and the tail
gate and crack the outer casing so that the
connection became exposed. Every time that I
would press the brakes the connection would
begin to get hot and melt the wires in the
harness that goes to the brake lights. Those
wires run through the same harness as the gas
gauge. Over time the wires began to melt the
coating on all the wires in the harness. So
sometime the gas gauge would work and some
times not. I found the problem right where the
wires for the gas tank leave the harness and
head toward the gas tank. I disconnected the
rear middle brake light, and then I repaired
the wires in the harness and now my gas gauge
works fine. Don't know if this is your problem
but it's worth a look.
