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.

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
