well ville you might be right but.... my swinging gage "E-F and F-E" was replaced and this was the solution for mine.


Okuma, it could very well be the gauge, my 85 has a bad gauge. I'm simply suggesting to check it before changing parts.

well, then every GM fuel gauge i've ever seen is bad.  i've never seen a GM truck fuel gauge from '99-down that DIDN'T swing around.  i mean, they don't go all the way from full to empty (if that's what you are talking about i insert foot now...) but they DO float around.  the ONLY time mine doesn't float around is if it's CRAMMED full or DEAD empty.  actually, that's like my low fuel "light" when it's on E and it's still floating a little, i know i have some time left...if it's not floating, i'm about to be dead in the water  ;D

That's basically what it does - so, I guess I just live with it?

if it does what i described man, you CAN'T fix it.  they did it when they were new.  heck, my mother-in-law's '07 Silverado does it (albeit a little less erraticly).  they ALL did that...
