Gas Gauge stuck
i flled my truck up last night, and the needle worked. i drove and it worked up until i used an 8th of a tank. then it stopped. and i know its not working because ive gone 138 miles and it still is pretty much on full.
is there a way something got frozen? it was VERY VERY cold this morning

The sensors for the gauge are a pretty common thing to go out on a lot of vehicles. If it was because of the cold I would think it would solve itself. The sensor on mine is going out, and I'm waiting for the fuel pump to go as well, so I can just do them both at the same time (they're both inside the gas tank). Until then, I'm just gonna watch my gas tank odometer to tell how long until I need a fillup. It's what I've always done anyways.

well i just jumped on my tailgate (6 degrees out) for when i stepped into my truck, the suspension was frozen. so i jumped on the tailgate, and the gas gauge dropped another 8th of a tank....is this a good sign or not? and im nt sure if its accurate, ive gone 138 miles, and its around a quarter of a tank now...and his was the first time i filled her with super from empty...and ive seen this gas milage before...this is what i get on the highway

crap, when i started it and went to work this morning, it went back to the "stuck" posistion, so it hasnt moved...it did until i started it....but since it moved when i started it, is it possible the sensor is working, just not getting an acurate reading...i did go offroading, and hit a good bump lol...got the front tires about 3 inches off the ground....maybe thats what screwed it up

I doubt it had anything to do with a bump....maybe theres sediment from bottom of the tank that got stuck in it?
Mine has gotten stuck and read off a bit to...actually Ive had the guage stick from time to time on my Jeep,kitcar and most reciently on my vette which cost my $70 to have fuel delivered to me on the side of the road on the nystate thruway (they have a scam going on and your forced to deal with one licensed company for breakdowns on that part of thruway) likily I got reimbusred through the roadside assistance plan on my att phone.
