    My gauge didnt work in my Ram with 35" Mickeys.... That sucked. I just figured what I got per mile hit the trip every fill up and when I figured out average what I got per mile I would fill up at the 75%mark. I bet you already got that figured out tho

    yea i pretty much got it figured out so i don't run out of gas lol i go by how many mpg i get and how much i fill it up with and multiply it for how many miles ill get about plus my driver information on the dash for how much fuel i used but that's really not so accurate so i have to be careful. i just wanna get it fixed i can imagine it must be nice with a working gauge..

    Your fuel sender unit is bad in your tank. You have to pull your fuel pump to change it. From what i understand it's pretty easy.

    19.99 off ebay. I'm too lazy to link you, but search "grand prix fuel level sensor" it should come up.

    Then.

    Search "bonneville fuel level sensor replacement" on YOUTUBE, its a 3 part video, explains EVERYTHING you'll want to know.

    Ive done this to my car already, its pretty simple, takes a little time.
