Run some of the fuel out of the tank. [Wink]

You need to drop the gas tank. Chances are the wiring has issues, or the lever arm of the sensor is stuck.

I would do what they recommended. My first 5.0 read full tank all the time, then went straight to quarter tank. I never fixed the problem because I got used to it and I never ran out of gas.

Never messed with a sender on a late model but a shop manual should outline a prcedure to determine if its the guage, wiring or the sender.

when it reads full like that it means there is an open circuit. my car i doing the same thing right now. i drpped my tank and the float wasnt even connected to the bracket. it was floating around in my gas tank.
