01 Tahoe 5.3 w/ 178K miles on it
Fuel gage is acting up. All other gages are fine. Fuel gage works fine until you completely fill the tank, then it shines the low fuel light and the gage reads empty. After a mile or so the gage will move back towards the full mark and the light goes out. Not sure if it's sloshing or not, but then after a while the light comes back on and the gage reads empty...seems random, with the exception of filling to full(happens everytime we fill it all the way up).
Before I drop the tank, is there anything I can check first? I'm dreading trying to get that tank out from under that thing, only to find it's the gage cluster or something.
Once I pull the tank, should I replace the fuel pump and everything?
