the fuel sending unit has an updated part, fuel level sensor that bolts to the pump , the old ones get corroded and cause the guage to fluctuate, the level sensor is in the tank on the fuel pump but is available separately

I'm so glad I found this forum...My Suburban is doing the same thing.

ChevyII, You mention there is a updated part. Has Chevrolet done a recall? If not what is the part # or name and is there a link that provides instructions on how to install it. Not sure if this is best left to a mechanic but I'm all for saving money if my husband can do it. Lately he has replaced the interior and exterior driver handle which seems to need replacing once a year.

Appreciate any help you can provide.

NO , NOT A RECALL ,THE PART IS A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR , THE FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO COME OUT AND IT IS MOUNTED ON THE SIDE OF IT , THE OLD ONES CORRODED AND WOULD DO WHAT YOU HAVE

I also have a 1999 Suburban that the gas gage is shaking. Shorlty after it started to shake the fuel pump went out. I replace the fuel pump that inclues everythin but the gage still shakes. I am not sure why but thought I would ask if there is anything else that will cause this.

Thanks
