Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Fuel Gauge Problem

[MWideman]

Has Anyone else had the fuel gauge read 1/2 a tank and then go down to empty, Knowing that there is 1/2 a tank of Fuel in it? The Truck is an 01 2500 4x4 Quad cab.

Sounds like its the fuel sending unit,I had one of the units act like that on my 94 truck. One of the senders on my 01 would go from full to empty and every where in between before I changed it . Its alot of fun changing it,just try to get the fuel as low as you can before dropping the tank, although alot of the guys pull the bed off and do it that way.

Mine was empty when it read 1/4 tank and the low fuel light never came on. I had the sender replaced and all is well.

I agree, sending unit. I am on my 3rd one. I had all sorts of odd readings.

Thanks for the help. When I get some extra time I will change it out.
