Where is the fuel gauge on a Chevy Silverado?
My 2000 Silverado did almost the exact same thing. Bought a new full pump assembly (because the level indicator was part of it), dropped the tank and swapped it out. Problem solved. If you look under your truck, you can see your tank.
Why is my fuel gauge not working on my Duramax?
This wasn’t my only issue and I got pissed and GM got engaged from the GM dealer that sold me the tank. Inevitably we found out from GM Engineering it was the computer trying to re-calibrate due to the mileage driven with no change in fuel level.
When does the fuel gauge go down to empty?
Let me start off by telling you what it was doing. First time i noticed it it stuck on full for about a week then went down to empty. After about a week of being on empty ever since it will show full right after i fill the truck up and seem somewhat accurate to 1/4 of a tank.
Why does my gas gauge read high when the tank is full?
A functioning sending unit will have a high resistance when the tank is full and a low resistance when the tank is empty. If the gauge reads higher than it should, make sure the wire attached to the electrical terminal on the tank sending unit is making a good ground connection.
How big is the gas tank on a Duramax?
I truly believe this is a diesel thing – All diesel powered vehicles I have owned over the past 30 years have had pessimistic fuel gauges compared to my gasoline powered vehicles. My Duramax is “empty” at 20 gallons. My other current diesel vehicle has the reserve light come on at 19.8 or so (on a 25 gal tank).
