I own a 2000chevy express 1500 conversion van -5.7 liter engine.
about 2 weeks ago the fuel guage needle started vibrating and fluctuating, It continues giving an accurate reading of the amount of fuel in the gas tank but the needle keeps vibrating, my question is what could be causing this to happen? your feedback will be greatly appreciated......Thanks

My 2000 Express van is doing the same thing. Did anyone ever figure out the problem? Thanks!

Hello guys,
I thought I would let you know what I did to fix this. I had a 99 Tahoe with a 5.7 and mine started doing the same thing, after a year of putting up with it I decided to buy a new gauge assembly on eBay. I installed the cluster as an assembly and it fixed the jerky needle. So to keep my mileage I took the two clusters apart and swapped the odometer, not ot mess with the needles and it works great until I just sold it last week, but get this. I bought an 03 burban 2500 in Chicago, I live in NY. I was driving it home yesterday and the damn thing ran out of gas at a 1.4 of a tank. I thought I really broke it or bought a lemon but added a few gallons and it started right back up. In reading sounds like they still have not gotten the fuel gauge thing corrected yet. Hope this helps
Keith
