Replying to: jonnyring (Sep 24, 2006 4:58 am) Hello,   My envoy fuel guage problem was similar to those mentioned - eratic needle, only works at certain levels.   Anywho, just wanted to write that the cost for the float level sensor through our local mechanic was $139. The labor was about $400. Total cost was $539. While this may seem high, we've been using the same mechanic for the last 14 years, so I have to beleive they were fair.   Anyways, now this info is available for those looking.

#18 of 25 GMC Fuel Gauge by trip4 Apr 29, 2008 (6:20 am)
New to the list. My 05 Envoy fuel gauge is on the fritz as others have stated. Our 3-year warranty ran out in January, yet only has 29,000 miles. Can I fix this myself? If so, where do I get the part and how do I do it? If not, what will it cost and what do I tell them to fix in order to not have them do things that are not needed.   Thanks.

Replying to: omowbray (Apr 10, 2008 5:21 am) I'm having the same issue with the fuel gauge on my 2005 GMC Envoy. I can register 1/4 a tank but the minute I fill, the gauge drops below empty and the fuel light comes on. I have to drive at least 25 miles to have it register even a 1/4 of a tank and a full 70-85 miles for the gauge to get to show a more accurate level. The mechanic I went to admitted it was the fuel level sensor causing the issue but advised me that I had to replace the entire fuel pump. He quoted $505 for the fuel pump and an additional $360 for the labor. Can you say "rip off"?! Keep in mind, this same shop charged me separate labor charges on a routine oil change and tune-up to the tune of $526!!! Replies to this message: jonnyring (Sep 07, 2009 6:01 am)

Replying to: pedal2dametal (Sep 04, 2009 8:14 pm) "$505 for the fuel pump and an additional $360 for the labor."   Can you say "Bull$hit!!" There was a "silent recall "on the senders. I bought a sender only on line for around $85. Replaced it myself. (2000 GMC Envoy) STEALERSHIP said "entire pump" as well and wanted $850+ to do the job.   Check your year and model. http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1362888,parttype,10729   ACDELCO Part # SK1186 {#19121293} SENSOR KIT,FUEL LVL 4 DOOR; w/o ROBUST FUEL SYS SENDER(K53) $95.79 ACDELCO Part # SK1188 {#19121300, 25314231, SK1008} SENSOR KIT,FUEL LVL 2 DOOR; w/o ROBUST FUEL SYS SENDER(K53) $100.79   IT APPEARS THEY HAVE GONE UP $10 IN THE LAST 3 YEARS???   3 YEARS LATER...THE PUMP WENT...i GOT THE ENTIRE ASSY. AT A JUNKYARD FOR $100 AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE THING AGAIN. i HAVE THE $85 SENDER I BOUGHT THE FIRST TIME AROUND AS A SPARE IN CASE THE JUNKYARD ONE GOES BAD.
#25 of 25 Faulty Gauges by mflippo Nov 20, 2009 (5:19 am)
Issues started with speedometer gauge sometimes starting at different points, i.e. 40 mph and registers correctly from that point. If I turn ignition off and on the needle drops by 5 mph each time, eventually getting back to 0. Sometimes does not work at all. Fuel gauge needle sometimes drops to bottom and will not register at all. I have been using my digital mileage to gauge gas usage. Also, battery charges fine when engine is running but dies almost immediately if doors are left open or radio is operational without engine running. In short, could this be as simple as replacing the battery? Have had so many opinions that I don't know what to do!
