I'd assume if it was a loose connection I'd experience a fuel deprivation misfire too but the issue seems isolated to the sending unit. Come back with an update if you ever figure it out.
You guys are lucky in that your fuel level sensor can be replaced. On my truck, I believe I'd have to replace the whole pump. I can't complain though, my pump is still original at 341K mi.

This is the FP for your truck. Screen grab from video below.... Basically an arm with a float and incremented contacts along the travel path. Here you can see the worn contacts which cause the sending issues. Hope that helps. The video shows you roughly how to replace it. Just two guys kidding around.
