Default Funky Fuel Gauge

Did a search on this topic and didn't come up with anything, so I thought I'd ask you experts!

The fuel gauge in my '03 Hemi QC Big Horn never seems to be accurate. Actually, what I'm seeing is a rather large discrepency in the fuel level readings when A) parked facing uphill, and B) parked facing downhill! Also, sometimes I can throw 20 bucks into it (when close to empty) just to keep me going for a while, and I swear the fuel gauge will simply NOT BUDGE once I get back in and start 'er up. Only after driving around a while will it show I'm back up to a little less than 1/2 a tank in that situation.

It's weird, 'cause my '68 Barracuda (318CID) used to do the SAME THING, so I'm already used to not trusting what Chrysler fuel gauges read! Even though that one was older than some of you are!

Anyway, is this normal? Anyone else have something similar going on?

Never had a problem with mine. If it's under warranty, perhaps a trip to the stealership is in order.

Hey!!! Thats back when you didn't need a laptop interface to check out and tune up your car!!!

Don't ever break the rear window in your Cuda, its worth as much as the car these days.
Nice ride, don't ever lose it! I'm still wishing I had my 67 Mustang GT 390.

As far as your fuel guage, sounds like a trip to the dealer to me. Could be the float or a resistor is screwed up
