The fuel level gage sending unit is defective, very common problem. The sending unit comes with a new fuel pump and is referred to as a module, also make darn sure you replace the fuel pump connector at the fuel tank, solder and shrink tube the new connector on, DO NOT USE CRIMP CONNECTORS.

SOURCE: i need help resetting my 94 GMC seirra's gas gage

the gas gauge is on the fuel pump assembly with in the fuel tank, you must have bumped it during reassembly. the only solution is removal. pull it out check for alignment and binding, reassemble being very careful. hope this helps.

you could have an air lock in the system. Run with rad cap off and cycle the thermostat, adding coolant as required. Or a possible heater core.

SOURCE: 1987 GMC sierra , no fuel pump power.

The inline fuel pump fuse on the passenger side firewall is good? Are you jumping it with 12 volts at the test lead or the fuse?

SOURCE: 2005 GMC Sierra 1500 - heater blows, but only cold air

Check coolant level. Check for heat at the heater hose going from water pump to heater core at firewall. Check to see that cable is moving coolant control valve from the closed to open position. Low mileage so it shouldn't be plugged heater core.

Testimonial: "You were absolutely correct. Low coolant level. Put in some 50/50 and we're nice and toasty now, but need to find out why coolant was so low. Thanks."

My 2003 gmc sierra loses power sometimes. the truck seems fine when in park or neutral but doesn't want to move in drive(lack of power, have to put accelerator to floor to get truck to move). it seems...

To me...
it SEEMs your engine is not BREATHING...

Trouble Codes:
The REAL thing to do is get the codes read
(but since I also love to shoot from the HIP ... )

Lets just say YOU SHOULD GET YOUR
DIAGNOSTIC CODES READ... (DTCs).

Plenty of places do it for FREE...
My highest recommendation to you
would be a MUFFLER SHOP...

I would also advise getting your
(undisclosed) year, make & model...

On to the big PARTS HOUSES...
so you know your catalytic converter prices
before your local EXHAUST PALACE tacks
($$$$$)... because they've never seen a CAR
like yours... (supposed to be humor).

Go onto eBay, AMAZON & rockauto.com..
just to get your head ready to listen to your
neighborhood mechanics...

My gas gausge doesnt work in my 89 gmc sierra. How

If all your other gauges work, more than likely you have a bad sending unit in the gas tank or bad ground to the sending unit.

I think the fuel pump went out on my 93 GMC 1500 truck.

try changing the fuel pump. When the tank goes empty it sucks the dirt into the lines.
