    Hi Guys....
    Something weird is happening with my fuel gauge in my 01 GP...I knew I had about half of a tank of gas yesterday, but the gauge read full, totally pegged out. Then without warning, it dropped to E and the Low Fuel light came on. Its fluctuating like this now...
    Any ideas on whats going on? Is this an easy fix? hope so.....

    Haha, true! Mine get pretty inaccurate around 1/4 tank it seems to change positions when it feels like. Sometimes the fuel light comes on and then goes out for awhile before coming back on again. Gets annoying!

    Got mine from GMPartsdirect. 90 bucks. 30 minutes to unclip the old one from the pump and clip the new one on.
