I have a 2017 Silveraro LT. It has 23, 000 miles now and the last few times I filled up the gauge didn't go to the full mark. I just goes a little past 3/4. I just filled up and drove about 60 miles and the gauge is at 1/2 tank so I stopped and filled it up again and it only took 4 gallon to fill it up.

Anyone else having this issue?

oh no.  Hopefully we are not going to see another profound issue with faulty fuel sending units like we did on the GMT-800s.

My 17 All Terrain has done the exact same thing a few times. Only difference is that it stuck at about 3/4 (while still at the pump) for a while and only after I drove a good distance did it continue going up. I know it was full because the pump indicated 21.5 gallons from being on E.

If it does it again I'll be taking the truck in for service. Starting to see some issues with it. Its a shame I've only had the truck a month.

I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado LT. I fill it up and the gauge works fine. Once it gets down to a quarter of a tank it stops reading correctly. My wife has ran out of gas 2 times on the side of the interstate so now she wants to get rid of it. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?

Kirk, did you get the problem resolved/diagnosed?  I have the exact same symptoms on my 2017 Sierra with 56K miles.  I am assuming it is the sending unit.

Folks- Kirk only made one post back in 2017 and hasn't been back since.  Don't expect a reply.

Hello, just wondering if anyone has an update on this problem.  I have a 2017 Silverado that only reads 3/4 full when I fill it up then it slowly moves to full. It does this intermittently and sometimes does not go to full tank. Thanks for any updates.  I will be taking it to the dealer soon.

Took it in for service and confirmed the fuel level sensor needs to be replace. They ordered a sending unit, which I will have to take back to service to replace once it arrives due to this part being on back order.  No actual time frame. I suggest to take your trucks in most likely same response is what you will get unless they have the part in stock.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
