I own a 1995 dodge dakota v8 5.2L. 4x4.My gas gage quit working a couple of months ago. Could my gage have died or is it somthing else? I have 149,000 miles on my truck. any suggestions. thankyou

 

could be your float broke, you have to drop the tank and look at your pump

 

it could be the gage but hope that it isent. its around $200 for a new one. take your bed of dont drop ur tank you dont want to brake the fuel tank straps they are price also theirs only like 4 bults and then the bed comes right off..

 

this must be a common problem with these both my daks have this problem

 

I bought my truck a few months ago with a non working gauge. Mine has 148k. I ordered a new sending unit paid around $50.00. I unbolted the 8 bed bolts, and unscrewed the gas neck and just proped the front of the bed up. I repaired it from the top, and it was so much easier It took me around 45 minutes start to finish by myself...... now it's good as new!

 

Yep mine does that too. If I stop or accelerate fast you can see the needle moving in motion with gas in the tank, but most of the time it reads empty.
