If you have dual tanks or One tank, The Sending unit is going to be on the fuel pump assembly. If you have two tanks this is easy as you tell weather its the gauge or the sending unit by switching tanks. If its not dual tank ground the sending unit wires and have a friend check to see if the guage moves.

I have the same problem. Something to do with the sensor in the tank? I think is what i heard.
You'd have to drop the tank and replace the sensor i think
but i am not an expert on that subject. lol

I have an 89 with dual tanks, the front if over half a tank goes all the way past the F. Im just to lazy to deal with it so i always use the rear tank to fill up and what ever is left over goes in the front.

I think you can replace it separately but you can always buy a new pump with a new sending unit and keep the old pump as a spare.

well on my grandpas truck one of the wires on the sending unit came un-soldered. Easy fix. But once we got it fixed and put the dash back in the needle was stuck past F. Took dash out, flipped it around so the needle would be on empty and it worked. It might be as simple as that, or...as simple as that. haha.
