#113 of 172 Re: Help with inaccurate fuel gage. [lineman052] by repairdog Sep 04, 2006 (3:27 am)
Replying to: lineman052 (Sep 03, 2006 7:55 pm) Most are simply due to the crappy sender in the tank part of the pump assembly - Delco pump ranges from $300-400 and then have to drop tank to install. My 01 does same type thing randomly so I use the trip odometer to make sure I get gas - I'll fix when I really get pissed at it. You can try to clean the electrical connectors on the output on top of the tank reached by dropping the spare tire and reaching up - tight fit - and make sure the ground is good but my guess is its the sender. A resistive swing arm type.

Replying to: lineman052 (Sep 03, 2006 7:55 pm) The most common problem for this occurance, is your entire Fuel Sending Unit. Theres a float arm that reads OHM's, and well, over time, the metal slide plate inside the tank, on the unit itself goes bad.   I would recommend a stock DELCO unit, but you can get aftermarket units for fairly cheap.   Another place you can buy a fuel sending unit is from a guy in florida, who runs a very reputable EBay store. I've bought many S10/Blazer parts from him, and never had any problems. He is a really good guy.   Heres a link to his store - S10 Warehouse   Keep in mind, that when you install the new unit, to be very careful with the arm when your putting it back in. THEY ARE VERY SENSITIVE...   -- Cheers, "KuT" Replies to this message: thatsmrsavana (Nov 17, 2006 7:40 am) repairdog (Nov 17, 2006 12:31 pm) gothsnob (May 03, 2007 8:59 am) repairdog (May 03, 2007 2:09 pm)

Replying to: indikut (Sep 24, 2006 2:09 pm) I have had a 99 and 2000 Savana, both with this same issue. I've researched the internet to find 1000's of complaints, but very few to GM. People need to call GM and complain! Then maybe they'd figure out there's a problem. Without data from customers, GM won't do squat for those of us that do call them. They assume there's no problem because few people call and complain. Even if you do it yourself or go to an independent mechanic, call GM customer service 800 462-8782 and tell them your issue.

Replying to: thatsmrsavana (Nov 17, 2006 7:40 am) Yes, lots of problems on these type and many run the gas down to empty every tank and then that heats the pumps up even more (if submerged they run cooler) and the gage was a bad design too and all 1 piece unit. Good luck.
#117 of 172 Steering Colum Problems by mnichy Nov 28, 2006 (5:01 pm)
I have a 91 GMC Jimmy S-15 and the steering colum is loose at the wheel tilt. It wiggles and moves up and down no matter what position. No one seems to know how to repair this problem or know where to find instructions on this repair. Please help.

Replying to: indikut (Sep 24, 2006 2:09 pm) Wow, this is EXACTLY the answer I've been looking for! My '00 blazer's gas gauge is acting screwy, and I'm not sure of how much gas is in there (I've been keeping track via the mileage). I called a local dealer and he said it could cost either $80 to recalibrate it (whatever that means) or have to replace the gauge, etc. for $800!!!!   I checked out the ebay store you mentioned, and he's in Florida?? Even better! Thanks again for posting that info! Replies to this message: repairdog (May 03, 2007 2:09 pm)

Replying to: gothsnob (May 03, 2007 8:59 am) I'm confused as the sender and pump are one unit so check that out before you buy. The Delso pump has been updated to fix the sender but no help from GM.
#122 of 172 99 Blazer Gauge Problem by rushfan Oct 22, 2006 (7:40 am)
I have a 99 Blazer that has 16,500 miles on it. When I start it up the gauges do not work and the engine light is on. If I push in the button for the trip then everything works but all the idiot lights are on. The truck also does not run good when the gauges are not working. The problem happen once before and I took the gauge unit out and made sure the connections were good and then it worked fine for a few weeks. I tried that again and this time nothing. The Blazer ran good before the dash went out.   Anyone have an idea what to check for?
