FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY GAS GUAGE ON MY 2000 GMC SIERRA PICKUP IS ACTING ERATIC. IT GOES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I DID A SEARCH ON GOOGLE AND FOUND THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS BEING REPORTED TO AUTOMOTIVE HELP SITES BY A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE. SOME SAY IT IS THE SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK - SOME DEALERSHIPS TOLD THEM THIS. THE COST TO DROP THE TANK AND FIX THE PROBLEM IS AROUND $800. EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO FORCE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, YOU CAN EASILY SEE BY SEARCHING GOOGLE THAT THIS IS INDEED A MAJOR PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THAT NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY CAN FILL A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. THANK YOU...*NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 1999 GMC SIERRA EXT. CAB DOES NOT WORK. IT HAS NEVER WORKED. I DID NOT SEE THE PROBLEM AS URGENT UNTIL MY BROTHER-IN-LAW, WHO HAS THE EXACT SAME TRUCK, GOT STRANDED IN MEXICO BECAUSE HIS FUEL PUMP WENT OUT. HE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE HE HAS HAD HIS TRUCK AND IT COST HIM $300.00 DOLLARS TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP OUT. THAT WAS CHEAP BECAUSE HE DID THE WORK HIMSELF. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE SEEN THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL TRUCKS OF THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR MY TRUCK AND WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE FUEL GAUGE/PUMP FOR THE 1999 GMC/CHEVY 1500 TRUCK BE LOOKED INTO FOR CONSIDERATION FOR A RECALL. *NM
