Default few problems

okay, so i have a few problems with my 97 1500, the first is, fuel gauge likes to float up and down, i know there is a way to fix it, i just don't know how, another problem is in 4 wheel drive if i get stuck, and i have to get on it to get it out i get a real bad hop in the front, is that normal? and lastly what are signs of a failing rear end?

I can't help ya with the gas gauge thing, have to wait for someone else. Some hopping is normal when in 4 wheel drive while turning and stuff, but it's hard to tell with your description. As for the rear end, listen to see if it is making any odd grinding noises and look for any leaks around the rear differential

You get stuck in 4 wheel drive. You should really elaborate on the condition here. We talking about mud stuck, steep hill stuck, a sniper take you out, some pot hole, or better yet absent man hole cover, logs, etc.???

Geez....can we be any more lazy with the thread titles?

My few problems are, not enough light in the day, no snow falls where I daily drive, aholes abuse the carpool lane, and I get to be reminded tonight how effing luck I am when I watch Bomb Patrol Afghanistan tonight.

The Georgia mud can get as slick as snow and ice.
