A few months ago started noticing that my fuel gauge would work fine until the half tank mark, then stick. Figured it was just a bad stepper motor so had the cluster rebuilt. While my cluster was out I put a known good one in the truck for temporary use. Same problem. Is it a common issue to have the sending unit stick at one point? I put 18 gallons in the truck today with the gauge reading just a hair under half, so I can be sure its a good way off.

 

Mine does it as well pretty common for chevys, mine will read little less then half add another 50 miles then it will drop to empty

 

Great...any good way to fix it? Or just keep a close eye on milage? I go back and forth between McPherson and Manhattan and Wichita a lot, so I dont want to run the risk of running out half way.

 

Replace whole fuel pump is what I know how to fix it

 

I was afraid that was going to be the answer.

 

If I remember right its the resistor that needs replaced for the sending unit, I would just buy another and be done with it,

 

Buy another resistor or complete sending unit?
On another Site I read a post where the OP said he replaced the fuel pump and still has a flopping needle.
Is the sending unit part of the pump or separate?

 

Its part of the pump
